That all turned around at the end, after turning around, and not in a good way.

I did predict earlier in the year that both Gabi and Maia would be top 500 before the end of the year.

Gabi has clearly achieved that and quite a bit more ( and all the very best in her recovery ). But I did expect Maia to play much more regularly, which would no doubt help her progress forward as well as clearly more points opportunities. I assume yes that studies have limited her although she did have an early year ( at least ) niggle after her early success. Not sure if any other issues.

Yes, I'd agree with CD that her year for the most part has been pretty consistent on a hmm level, but again it's been rather on / off in playing much. And to be fair just looking now at her activity it's even quite a bit less than I was thinking.

Consistent form from Laura S

Maia seems quite streaky; blows very hot or very cold in terms of putting tournaments and runs of tournaments together.

 Which one of these is the honorary Brit?

 From the Segovia thread, a week ago via The Optimist

Laura's partner Lily is at university in Oklahoma and is a quasi Brit, having grown up in this country.

 Thanks!

Mariam Bolkvadze and Jennifer Timotin are the other two quasi-British girls (as well as Lily) that I follow a bit (as I've seen them all play a couple of times).

Are there other quasi-Brits?

Laura S recovered from *1-4 to *5-4 and 3 set points, but then Lily staged her own comeback to take the set to a tiebreak, which she won 7-5
