Now, could you please ask a question about when the WTA are going to make their website fit for purpose again, please?
one question I had, not sure if anyone knows, is when will the WTA make their website fit for purpose again? Just asking...

Thanks! Maybe now they'll drop $10K from their ranking points lists and add in $60K, $80K etc and put back historical rankings prior to April 2017 and... [continues for several tens of thousands of words]

It's funny isn't it, a few years back we wold have been exited that Jo got this far, but I'm feeling dissapointed. I'm not sure whether that's good or bad..

Yes will be good to now have it all sorted next week

The match history that gives everyone double points no matter where they progress to is one interesting one. A qualifier who won a Slam would show 4080 points.

Most of all the (should be ) standard ranking points breakdown, singles and doubles, for each player will be good to see.

Thanks Jon.

Good luck to jo.

I see Ostapenko lost to Buzarnescu, who is a player I'd never heard of before! What's her background, anyone know her at all? Apologies for my ignorance!
Neat trick; ask and the WTA shall provide; this interview new in today: http://www.wtatennis.com/news/insider-qa-firsts-keep-coming-mihaela-buzarnescu

Some great matches here amongst the big names. Halep, Muguruza, Wozniacki, Kvitova, Kerber, Svitolina all providing excellent contests between each other with regularity this season.
Petra won, again, 13 matches in a row including Fed Cup, and a second title in 2018; Doha added to St. Petersburg. It's great that she continues her Renaissance after her ordeal.

That win means Jo moves an extra spot down to 12th, though her real form is ~30-40th as is her R-t-Singapore ranking. That will also be close to her real ranking after Miami, barring a surge in form.
