Even 1 win would be great as her lowest counter is a 1. Here's hoping that she's fit and can carry on the good work

Probably because most of us went for Emma Radacanu and Amanda limits herself to Clay pretty much.

Well Katy is down to play next week, and judging by the video clip from Halton is fighting fit and ready to go, so with only a couple of points to cover over the next two months, I expect she'll stay in contention for the #10 spot

Yes and whoever does better this week between Fran and Mandy will succeed Katy Dunne in the GB top 10. Which begs the question why more of us, including myself, don't have both of them in our top 10 predictions for the year...

 The fact that one will be no. 10 in a week (mid Jan 2020) doesn't really mean they're a slamdunk for end Dec 2020

Yes, we're talking about an almost totally different ranking year regarding current rankings vs our prediction rankings.

Though of course there are good reasons to think that either or both can at least repeat and indeed perhaps do better.

For me, it came down to one of the two for my #10 and I felt Mandy was the safer bet.

Actually even in the very short term, with both Mandy and Fran dropping a few points on 03/02, they each need at least one win to overtake #10 Katy D when this week's 25K points add in.

Interestingly Fran has only been picked by 6 people, but appears to have been the #11 pick of many, since it was she that sparked the debate about having an 11th sub or wild card pick. Of those around them, Maia, currently #9 has only 7 picks with Katy D 10 and Mandy 11. Yes, of those outside the top 10, Emma has by far the highest number of picks (37), but essentially people are mostly betting on both Maia and Katy D not to be in the top 10 at the end of the year. So that means two replacements... Perhaps a little surprisingly the favourite to re-enter the top 10 along with Emma is neither Fran nor Mandy but Gabi with 18 picks.. a lot of people remembering her good 2018 rather than her rather awful 2019.

Out of interest where are you finding the scores? It seems odd that Daytona Beach isn't on the usual ITF live scores page.

 Yes they have no data for some reason this week - so one can only see by refreshing the OOP or MD page to get the results of the matches, no scores available during the matches.
