I'd love to see Emily put together a good run here, but I fear Junri will be too good for her. Still, at least she already has 1pt for her pains. Does it count towards the WTA rankings? I assume so.
Yes it is a WTA point and should still be as we move on next year.
She now has 14 counters at 25K level or above but it is May since she last added more than a point. That was 19 points from a great week for her of Q and then SF in the Wuhan 25K.
