That's a good win for Alicia over someone that is the same age and almost identical ranking as her... It's been a good year so far for Alicia and should take her to a career high once the point is added on. Next match is potentially against the #2 seed, who seems only due to play tomorrow eventually, so there may be no further points for her this week.
Sarah Beth will also play a 17 yr old similarly ranked opponent who beat the #4 seed. Laura Deigman up on court next.
That might help explain things. But who knows how much effect it had....
However, what is certain is that Alicia now gets an unranked WC who's only ever been up to WR 1204, and is 22, and has been playing plenty of matches this year but really not got a lot to show for it (hence being unranked).
