This is probably a stupid question, but how does Katie have more points than she had last week?

I wondered that too.  Maybe they put the wrong amount of points for a grade A runner up?

Yes, the issue does appear to be with Katie's recent Mexican Grade A singles and doubles runner-up points and the previous 985.00 would appear to be correct.

Selecting Katie's points, the Mexican Grade A has counted the Grade A bonus points that the ITF site says only applies to the Youth Olympics, Italian Open ( Trofeo Bonfiglio ) and Orange Bowl.

So unless there has been a change in respect of the Abierto Juvenil Mexicano the latest points change is wrong. Strange ...

That's what I was thinking. I guess we shouldn't question why they gave her more points either way.

Yes, maybe we should keep quiet. As I was saying, 1037.50 looks perfectly fine to me

The quote is " Fro the people asking, the reason i'm not playing Aus Open is because I need a training block + some exciting news yet to come"

This was on the back of Andy Murray saying see you in Australia.

 

I suspect the big news is she will be turning professional and playing 25K+ on the tour using some of those exemptions - or it could be totally un-tennis related.

Or the family are moving full-time to the UK?

Or her parents are expecting another baby?

Or.....

Can't help but feel that her junior time is pretty much done, whatever, (as you say, paulisi).

Maybe, but Hopman Cup website has teams listed, and still has Hev:

hopmancup.com/teams

Also, two Aussie teams?? Not really in the spirit of it.

Katie will finish the year as junior world number 3 after Mihalikova's elimination in the singles yesterday. Canadian Bianca Andreescu (15), American Kayla Day (16) and Russian Anastasia Potapova (14) can all claim the number 4 spot if they win the Orange Bowl and all can get within 70 points of Katie. Andreescu and Potapova in particular would probably be among Swan's biggest rivals to claim the junior number 1 spot next season.

Katie of course will drop a whole big heap of points by not defending her Australian Open points and it is very unclear how much juniors she will play generally in 2016, and presumably unclear with many of the other leading girls too.

As the year progresses the top ranked girls may largely become some rather newer kids on the block.
