Well done, Mandy.

I was looking at the points players had in the bag prior to Wimbledon next year ( I'll do a proper thread like the men's one in a couple of weeks or so if noone else does ) and Mandy is clearly very far away from any MD WC ), but anyway as we stand the currebt top 5 are :

1. Heather 474
2 Jo 159
3 Naomi 97
4 Emily 92

5 Amanda 63

Very competitive against a high quality opponent. It's a shame that Kolar is playing these 2 weeks as she is going to be a tough barrier for Mandy (and players ranked around her). Still I guess Kolar is playing Antalya as practice for the 50K in Ankara?

I think she's after some points too, her ranking has fallen by about 50 places in 1 month after points from making the final of a 75K+H last year came off and presumably wants to secure her place in AO qualifying.
