I've not looked but I'm wracking my brains and on ranking that must be in her top 3 along with Beltrame at Wimbledon and Paszek earlier this year?

Beltrame was top 100 when Emily beat her at Wimbledon in 2004 and Cohen-Aloro was top 100 when Emily beat her in Eastbourne qualifying the same year but Paszek was WR 108 when Emily beat her in Washington qualies this year (and 117 when the new rankings came out a couple of days later), so I think this is her 3rd biggest ranking scalp ever, her best for over 10 years and her best ever win off grass

What a special effort, I doubt there's many players that enjoy playing in India as much Em. Given the way she's played this week, there's a great chance that her CH is in danger next year.
