Just a heads up, you can actually stream Tanysha's match tomorrow (or technically later today). It's on at 7am. She is a 4/1 underdog which is no surprise given she is playing a ranked top Q seed, thought she might actually have been longer.

Just goes to show though, a 15k event in Turkey can live stream 4 of the 8 qualifying matches, yet in Britain, we're lucky if we can actually follow the qualifying scores and usually have to rely on updates from Twitter or someone from this forum being present at the event.

Tanysha is actually a set and a break up 6-3 2-0*.

Tanysha wins 6-3 6-4. Didn't see any of the match, but that looks a great win.

What a lovely result. She's a really nice girl, with a lovely family (think the little brother is heavily into cricket), and a coach who seems great.

Let's hope she gets a decent R1 draw.

She did have 6 points in the shadow rankings last week, but they were from Sunderland last year and dropped off yesterday, so, yes these are the first ITF points that will be carried into next year. 4 pts for today's win to add to the 2 points for qualifying

Well, first current WTA ranking point ( though not of course a WTA point for next year ). She has had a WTA point before.

And this tournament looks to be her back to one tournament with ITF transition tour points as her previous shadow ITF transition tour points have dropped off.

edit : ah, agreed as I was writing and checking it out at the same time.
