Manisha deserves some sort of award.
She has played qualifying 7 times this year, 13 matches.
She has won every single match, and not even lost a set - only twice has her opponent got more than 4 games in a set.
Qualified every time.
It must be frustrating for her not to be able to accrue enough points to avoid qualifying. She's clearly too good fot it, but can't make the same MD progress as previously.
3/7 times she's qualified, she's managed to get a point or more.
The two times she was MD DA, she failed to score a point.
Just a little something from somewhere is needed, it seems.

Manisha was ranked about 600-650 along with a few others such as Anna Brogan, Laura D, Fran S, Eden S etc. None made it to 500 and most have had injuries. She has no points off till November so hopefully she should make some progress and go straight into the MD at 15ks.

R2: (Q) Ella Taylor WR 1244 lost to (7) Nathaly Kurata (BRA) WR 539 (CH 431 in May 2012) 6-3 6-0
One of Ella's 3 counters before this tournament is due to drop off in July. Adding this 4th counter ( and point ) means she will now certainly have a ranking through to at least November and I assume that she will be looking to pick up some points in the grass season.
