Yay, great results from both

Beth putting her hat in the ring re potentially GB #9 or #10 ?

Latest for Monday week, 22/10,

9. Maia : 89 + 8 = 97 + ?
10. Fran : 89
11. Laura : 82
12. Tara : 77
13. Beth : 77
14. Eden : 67 + 9 = 76 + ?
15. Jodie : 75

If Eden wins that match vs Maia that's another 9 points and up to 85 and then a SF win away from being right in the mix.

Of course if Maia wins these additional points she will be establishing a gap for now and as said earlier she would certainly be comfortably into the top 400.

Doesn't really matter but I think you've got the scores inverted, Michael, between Eden and Maia.

However, they both won in three sets, beating WAY higher ranked players.

And, as you say, with a guaranteed SF, and Lissey and Eden in the doubles final too, this has turned out to be a very nice little tourney for our players

Thanks, have corrected them now! confuse

I actually have Maia and Eden (who had a good run end of last year) in my top 10 for this year - so go Maia and go Eden, I want both to win!! wink

Yes, two great wins, and good points to boost them up the rankings.

I've got the top 8 ( well in my own order ) plus err Laura and Sam.

Two great wins well done both. Had high hopes for Maia a few years back but its not quite happened. Rated her in the Katie Boulter range. Would expect her to see off Eden who had done well to reach top 500 probably sitting at her peaking ability.

Time to put money on Eden then

Er, you came joint bottom in the female predictions for 2015, Jag. smile

And in the bottom half for 2016 and 2017.....

Not pointing a finger, all good fun, but just saying....

Didn't realise the winners were due to meet each other in the quarter finals and that's good news IMO - superb to get one through to the semi final. With Paquet flopping early and our girls exploits today, there's only one seed left in the bottom half and that's Amandine Hesse who is currently in the early stages of a deciding set against compatriot Harmony Tan who got that US Open WC last month despite being ranked circa 400 at the time (French playoff winner).

Eden's got more upward potential if she can develop more of an edge to her game. She has the shots, often just not enough variety, or simply the determination to win. Oten when GB players play each the considered form and ranking go out the window. I wouldn't write off Eden's chances at all tomorrow.

Very subjective the points awarded in that, not really a guide. And it was a competition rather than a realistic effort. So that means nothing. A lot of what I said over the years has came to fruition not based on 12 months guessing the order of rankings. Injuries and retirements make that competition flawed.

indiana · Tennis legend

You mean the specific amount of points declared in advance and given for specific variations from actual GB and world rankings ( the further away the less points ) is very subjective.

Got you biggrin
