After last week Maia will now have 16 counters and none due off before November ( she currently has 4 counters for a total of 6 points from last November and December ).
So for some time ahead ( hopefully now for a very long time ahead if she continues to play regularly ), Maia will need to pick up at least 2 points ( 15K QF ) in any week to improve her counting ranking points. I think, like here, in 15Ks she should be generally seeded to reach at least that stage.
Good stuff. Maia continuing to work her way up the rankings. A QF win should see her close to the WR 600 mark. Hopefully she can continue to develop and be one to push on quite a bit further.

It doesn't happen very often at all, but in this tournament, for once, the QF line up comprises all eight of the seeded players.
Maia plays Vostrikova [8] 845.
