Week 21 - ITF $10K - Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt - Hard

indiana · Tennis legend

Well done on Laura qualifying

paulisi · Tennis legend

Laura wasn't on the acceptance list, so must have signed in, knowing the qualifying draw was not full. Laura will almost certainly be seeded in the main draw.

Strongbow · All-time great

Danielle has retired again cry

paulisi · Tennis legend

Laura has started well and leads 4-1

Strongbow · All-time great

Has taken the first 6-1. Hopefully she can finish it quickly and get out of the sun.

Laura wins 6-1 6-2 biggrin Slould be <730 with this point.

Yes, Manisha Foster is currently WR 731 on 21 points, with a few 21 pointers in the 720s.

The R1 win here for Laura, along with her 2 points from last week, takes her to 22 points.

So Laura will surpass her April 2014 CH 744 and she also passes a whole group currently with points from 19 to 21 to move from GB 20 to GB 14 ( passes Manisha, Eden, Gabbi, Eleanor, Sam and Freya ). She also has no points coming off until October so should certainly hit the 600s.

I know there are certain views about Sharm, but whatever, Laura does seem to be on the up with her game as well as her ranking. Hopefully she will fairly soon be spreading her wings rather more widely.

Laura is picking her tournaments well in an aid to boost her ranking.

Meanwhile Fran is a break up in the first set.

Late congratulations to Fran on her win biggrin

Both playing lower ranked opponents tomorrow so hopefully 2pts each

Both have hard games in the QF (assuming they win).

Sadly a few of those mentioned are not currently playing.

Laura and Fran are 2nd up tomorrow when it should be a chilly 38C with 20% humidity - easy. wink

Sadly so many of the GB women, highlighted by most of that group that Laura has gone above in the rankings, are not playing.

Good to see Gabbi on the Nottingham list.

Where's Manisha?
