Ola and Beth both putting up big fights against their seeded opponents. Whatever the outcome, Ola's performance so far against Maia suggests that her game is coming along...
Massive upset from Tiffany there A CH scalp by over 300 places, and, it's only her third ever MD win in a pro event, in her over eight years of trying!
however she has qualified a couple of times at 25K - which is where she picked up her points.
Yes... but, I repeat: "Massive upset from Tiffany there A CH scalp by over 300 places, and, it's only her third ever MD win in a pro event, in her over eight years of trying!"
You seem to be inferring that it's not a big upset for a player with that record overall, and in MD, to defeat WR503; somehow equating the $25K opponents from qualifying to get other ranking points though they were never previously higher ranked than WR848; that the extra 343 places are effectively nothing; that the fact that this is only her 4th top 1000 win, was essentially expected linear progression?. Or, am I misunderstanding?
Misunderstanding. Paulisi is focused on the second clause in your sentence blob, not the first... Since when you read 'third ever MD won... in 8 years', one's first reaction is how does she have a rating then? And the answer is, which is what Paulisi is noting, is that two of her current counters are from qualifying in 25k events. I don't think anyone is doubting the enormity of this win for Tiffany!!
