Oh dear 5-10 MTB is not good.

Katy has slipped back (for one reason or another) to where she was some 4 years ago. Chiswick August 2015 - WR342. Career high May 2018 - WR212. Now at WR344.
Compare with Harriet who over the same time period has risen from WR345 to WR141 with CH this year of WR121.

Yeah, it's basically been downhill for one reason or another since that Ostapenko Centre Court match at Wimbledon in 2018, bar that one week in Spain last April when she won that W60 title out of the blue beating Badosa and Stojanovic, who are both currently in the top 100, and Jodie who was in really good form at the time.

 I think injury would be one of those reasons or another. She was nursing an injury at the back end of 2018 and clearly was hampered for the majority of 2019, so her week in Spain was miraculous (she also played a blinder in Surbiton and pushed Riske to 3 sets). But as much as I think Katy is great I can acknowledge the likely ranking ceiling. So admit that 100% fit shes probably not going to suddenly break into the top 150 but theres enough force if character there that id never count her out

Oh yeah, injury has played a huge part, and was the main thing I was referring to, there was also cryptic social media messages about no dancing, suggesting things weren't great off court, but then they would likely be linked.

She had a bit of momentum in 2018, did well on the W25 tour in the early part, got to a career high, got a few notable wins on the grass events, got her big moment at Wimbledon, but unfortunately, at the moment, that does look as good as it's going to get, but I wish her well, and hope that she can give us a few more surprises in the coming years, and if she doesn't get back towards (or beyond) the 200 mark, I at least hope she can stay active, and enjoy her tennis.

Ah, didn't realise Katie was playing here, that's a nice surprise, or maybe not so much if she's using one of her PR events on this?

 

Katie did beat Conny last year in Acapulco, IIRC, before the Fed Cup injury.

 

Edit - just saw that Katie was 315 at the cut off, so her AO points must have still been on. I was wondering why Katy had to go through quals, but not Katie, but make a sense now, and no PR used which is another bonus.
