Very nice FQR win for Mirabelle - 6-0 6-0 over the WR 1205 !!!!

Not bad :)

With 4 points from 2 counters, Mirabelle will get a ranking ( certainly quite well within the top 1200 ) if she can win her R1 match.

Many hundreds less women ranked than men and that 1200 level represents women with just a few points ( the minimum 3 in Chalaganidze's case, which as we've seen with some players may be indicative of very little ).

Mirabelle, I rather suspect though, will be going a lot higher before too long.

That draw couldn't have been much better.

I've checked(this time!!!) Wessel's recent form and it doesn't account for much.

Mirabelle serves out the match to get herself a WTA ranking (5 points from 3 events, all as a qualifier too, no WC points)

L32: (Q) Mirabelle Njoze UNR beat (WC) Alina Wessel (GER) UNR (CH 619 in 2012) by 6-7(4) 6-4 6-4

L16: (Q) Mirabelle Njoze UNR v (2) Dia Evtimova (BUL) WR 313 (CH 145 in 2011)

Plum perfect !

Well done Mirabelle :)

Excellent news and will be fighting to get onto the top 25 table soon enough.
