To summarise what I thought :

Don't think conditions suited her this week, dead court ( really affected her serving stats), and the matchup is clearly one that suits Brengle, who has played well here in the past. Not much in it, but Brengle just did enough. I didn't see anything that would discourage me going forward, Jo won't be able to play top 20 tennis every week, but I don't see her playing well below top 50 standard either.

From reading another board, seems like Jo was pretty tired. I guess it's been a long run for her. I'm not expecting too much at Luxembourg, but then roll on next year New ranking, new opportunities.

Jo went from being someone trying to break the top 100 to playing consistent top 20 tennis so quickly it's hard to know what to say when she loses a match (I also haven't had much practice recently biggrin).

Maybe this tournament has been something of a reality check, and I expect her to level out at somewhere near her current ranking. However, there are recent examples of players who have followed a surprisingly good season with an even better one so maybe Jo will do that too.

Let's hope Jo's ranking doesn't level off for now, because she's got sod all to defend before March ( 18 points in January, net 9 when replaced by her best non counter of 9 ). So any good weeks should have a positive rankings effect.

And even from then till June she has relatively little to defend before what she's been adding in the last few months.

But, yes, be interesting to see if and when she reaches her "level".

However there is potential there for a decent partnership and someone to push Joss and Anna

That comparatively easy backhand volley that JoKo missed at 6-3 was the turning point, I feel.

Shame. But some great play. Well done to them.
