Interesting 4 through to R2, all of whom have potential real upside to their rankings. How much, time will tell.
As well as Jodie getting her ranking, Suzy and Beth, just with a point so far, have probably already taken out their CHs of 675 and 732 respectively. CD points to belief with Beth ( and a win such as today's must help ) and Suzy just seems to need to keep building as she has been over the last year and probably now spread her wings more.
With the points Maia is due to drop this week and next she wouldn't take out her CH 711 unless possibly if she won the tournament this week. But if and when she is able to concentrate more on the pro circuit there is certainly the ability there to go a lot higher.
Shame. I'd hoped that one out of those two might get a win.
Laura S beat Udvardy last week but, as teammates, it might have been a slightly funny match anyway.
I'm interested to see how Suzy does. I know nothing about her tennis but I have a (rather unfounded?) low regard for Harmony Tan so I'm hoping that Suzy might pull off an upset.
And as for Beth, well it all depends really how things are going on in that mindset of hers. Mind you, Klaartje has a lovely game, and really should be higher ranked, but plays as though she's trying to lose half the time too (Alicia Barnett thrashed her at Roehampton, in an excellent match, but should have been closer) - so Lord knows what the two of them will do....
