The Russians CH is 456 from May 2013. She is 31, and plays regularly enough, but just appears to have found her ceiling. Hopefully she won't break through it tomorrow.

[Ganga's hopes went up in smoke]
Or some weak attempt at a pun along those lines

Edit: because Activeboard interpreted my <>'s as code!

Bah

As I said in the thread re last week it was a bit worrying that there was a MTO ( I assume for her ) then she rather dramatically fell away in her QF. She had such a big clay prep and good start to last week too.

Is it just our youngsters that are so injury prone, or all up and comings?

I think we are more prone, but all countries suffer from it.

I tried to shed light on it, using RET's as a proxy - did not go well.

So, it's very much an intuited 'hunch' rather than anything data driven.

Meanwhile, Tara is zipping along very nicely, 6-4 *3-0

Edit: got he score wrong

Less zipping now.
Tara was 3-0 up, 5-3 up, 5-6 down... let's have a TB!
6- 4 6-6

Thanks for trying blob, I'm more data driven, but haven't go the skills for this one. It would be interesting to see whether it's my bias or a fact though.

Well, the RETs data essentially, as far as I was concerned, showed no significant differences at all between Brits and Peskies albeit with smallish samples. I don't know if not producing differences, contrary to possible expectations and what I kind of thought might be the case too, is commensurate with not going well It maybe was a not uninteresting little indication that we possibly do overestimate Brits as being relatively more injury prone.

I had a further avenue ready if there is still doubt re our differing interpretations of your RET data. Can private it if we may be in danger of boring other people too much.
