Beating Asia was perhaps doable but not a given. Her recent singles result may not have been stellar but her career high is from last month, and she's always had talent. Asia has had some great results in doubles recently too.

Anyway, 2 wins last week over top 200 players and a close one this week is positive. Her other losses in Oz haven't been too awful either - Cabrera won the first 2 tournaments, Hozumi's game clearly is a bad match up for her, Galfi is a talent.
