I am loving how routine she's making these sorts of matches seem.
Down in a set? No problem, we'll just get it back.
Her mental game, for me, is where she's evolved the most.

Good stuff

Hopefully Naomi can again move up the rankings in the coming week, this time by the playing and winning tennis matches lark.

Just the net 5 ( 20 - 15 ) points for starters, but hopefully just a staging post to much greater rewards, financial and pointswise.

Up to 93 in live rankings. Not too far behind Heather...

they haven't taken into account this week's points yet, as they fall into next week.

If looking at live-tennis.eu it indeed has Naomi at live ranking 93 and 707 points, which is her points for Monday, ie as paulisi says before any Doha points are added.

Although Naomi's points are right, by experience of following her on that site the last few weeks I wouldn't assume that the others round about her on that site are right and thus that the ranking is right, though it appears she has certainly risen during this past week off.

Of course, maybe it is confirmed on a more reliable site.

Her points on Monday week will be 707 + ( Doha points - 15 )

The tennis4wta site has her live ranking as of 22/2 at 93 and 'confirmed' for that week.

It's usually pretty good (although probably not fool-proof)

I hope she qualifies and gets poor ol' walking bye Fatima Al Nabhani, who gets a WC every year and fails to win a set every year...

Mmm, 1-16 since 2006 in Dubai & Doha. All entries by WC. Set score 2-33.
Good to have her given even token chance though, and hopefully some are inspired so that next generation, the WC are spread about amongst more players.

[this space reserved for those who strongly object to the use of WC in this fashion, of whom I know there are many, perhaps even a majority]

5-5
