Against a player nearly half her ranking, that's some first set, keep it up Manisha

Katie seems to be settling nicely into a groove out in Egypt.

She is presently the 12th ranked player not yet 18, although her birthday is not far off. Realistically to be a top 100 player before the age of 23 she needs to be in the top 6 or so of her peers which is about where she sat as a junior, injuries did slow things down a bit last year (that said she is still not far off as a rank of <300 would get her there).

When she roles into the cohort not yet turned 19 she should really be looking at trying to get under 175 as a bench marker.

As far as the top 30 is concerned, women's tennis is beginning to echo men's, with only 2 players younger than 23 in the top 30, but 11 at least 28, 6 of which are at least 32! (As of 6/3/17)

Early days and plenty of twists and turns to come in the road.

Indeed still so relatively young, especially with the aging trend in rankings, and plenty twists no doubt for Katie and others.

Which is one reason why while it is very good to get / retain a very good position against peers, and undoubtedly the higher you are early the stats will say more likely to succeed as a senior though I can't imagine that there is any magic "top x" to be in. But there are so many that will break such trends / probabilities, as some players come through later than others and / or have hiccups along the way and some inexplicably don't progress as expected, that such targets are clearly far from rules and not to be over concerned about. But yes, all things being equal the higher promises more.

However, the in truth remaining great uncertainty adds to following the journeys.

Katie absolutely ripped through that first set, 6-0

But still the other girl (I'm assuming) seemingly needed a 'toilet break' because 25 mins is a long time, after all......
