That's an excellent win - KvD was on a 5-match winning streak, having won a 25K in Bulgaria last month

Krejsová upset the 5th seed (a fellow Czech) in R1

DF · Tennis legend

She lost her doubles later

Amanda seems to have made the move from $10K to $25K a success now. For several years she would win $10Ks and lose R1 of $25Ks. As other girls have said though, that is the hardest transition to make as the points system makes it very hard to bridge the gap.

Good stuff and should hopefully see Amanda back in the top 300 on Monday week.

With Katie B looking to be back in the top 400 we will have quite a number in the 300s, with 11 in the top 400. Amanda would give us a 6th in the top 300 and hopefully we can have more fairly soon with Freya certainly hovering, but hasn't made it so far

Yes we have a similar amount of women just a bit short of Aus Open qualies zone. I think that group should target French Open as being a target where we have the same amount of men that are trying for Aus Open qualies. Certainly Mandy as a clay courter must have that in mind.
