For heaven's sake Mirabelle - and whoever is driving her - take some time off to reflect, recharge, and reconnect with all that makes life worth living again... You definitely need to be able to put your game back into a more balanced perspective again for a while, since you have more potential than these results, but i can't believe that you have any positive energy at the moment...
That makes something like 13 defeats and only 3 singles wins this year - most of those matches at 15k level. As Michael says, it's time to take a break and sort out what's going wrong.
With the points that Mirabelle has coming off* in the next 3 months it all looks liable to really catch up with her ranking. But yes one does question the week after week chasing of new ranking points, including her normal 15Ks, when there must surely be a so much better player within her, but some fundamental issues surely need addressed.
* I originally put "has to defend", but she doesn't have to defend them and I am afraid that she would appear to have little chance of so doing anyway based on the last few months.

I've talked till I'm blue in the face about the LTA giving some special coaching around the 600 mark. We loose so many girls at this level. Either they give up or they play so many matches that they get a serious injury - Come on LTA - not as if they havan't got enough coaches
I'm not sure it's very practical in this case. Mirabelle is not based in Britain. (Nor, I believe, is Suzy Larkin, the other player for whom this question came up).
And I'm not sure that coaching is what's called for either. Mirabelle has had plenty.
