Live rankings suggests that the points gained so far this week could lift Katie to almost WR290, Eden to WR475 and Beth to WR590. Plenty of others still playing around those rankings though.

Really pleased for Beth. Part of me wants her to nip off to Sharm for a few weeks and bag a title, but I do admire her stepping up to this level.

 I sort of agree, but Beth must be in a quandary. The singles ranking is moving up slowly, but Beth could go down the doubles route if she wished. 

Beth needs to be playing 25ks financially and points wise, but singles points needs to be picked up regularly.

Yes, these 5 pts are Beth's first real points scorer this year - she got 1 last week for qualifying giving her 6 now for the year. She also has only 13 counters, but until August she only loses 2 points, so she has plenty of room for upward momentum. It is a dilemma for what tournaments to play singles, but for doubles she definitely doesn't want to be playing lower than 25k.

Players need to start having half an eye on next year's changes. With 15k counters not counting towards next year's WTA ranking there seems to me little point in mixing 15k and 25k events if you think you have the performance to get through qualifying and score points in 25k events.

So we anticipate lots of massive qualifying draws next year?

The draws are limited by the rules of the respective circuits, organisers. 64 spot draws maximum at ITF. Similar at most WTA, only select Prm Mandatory & Slams can have 128 draws. I haven't seen anywhere that this is changing. Will people really enter 64 place qualies for a chance at a spot in the new feeder tour? I don't think so, or not as often as they do now at $15K.
I think a lot of people are just going to give up. If you're not a top junior you'll struggle for opportunities even more than now.

Anyway, Katie Swan is on the livestream, and labouring again early in her match, this time against the local WC, *2-3
