Eliz won 6-0 6-0

Destinee won 6-2 6-4 over the second seed

I know, Peter, I know..... :::(((

Good result from Destinee - Mylene is one of the much touted youngsters - she got a wildcard, I think, into Roland Garros doubles (part of the 'support the elite juniors' push from the FFT).

Has an interesting background too:

Mylène plays for France but is a native born Australian. Her father is from the Polynesian islands of Wallis and Futuna, and her mother is of aboriginal and Scottish descent.

I second Indy's feelings, no need to clutter things with the meaningless ITF rankings.

On the subject of the ITF site, what they've done to it has made my tennis following experience a less enjoyable one. Nothing beat the old layout on terms of both player profiles and the tournament pages.

i had already restricted ITF rankings to $15Ks and only kept it for those because of the large number of UNRs in $15Ks. It gives some measure to compare the UNR players. Now we are into a new season it may be time to drop it from $15ks as well.

An UNR for an ITF ranking does show information.
If a player is ranked WTA,but UNR ITF, it shows that they are making their points from WTA events alone, and not even needing to dip in to high tier ITFs to maintain their rankings.
Most players, even in the ~100-150 range would still play some ITF in any given season, and so likely be ITF ranked, even if lowly through one applicable score.
If a large disparity exists between the two rankings, that also gives a quick at-a-glance overview of a players likely activity profile.

I think CH is pretty much as useless, unless the CH was in a fuzzily defined recent window of achievement. Again with the Mel South example, CH in the top 100, only really played that levl for 6 months in her career. Someone posting on the Belgian forum of her CH 6 years after it was achieved would have no useful information without the time, and even then it bore no real relation to the imagined immediate match.
There's also the CH issue as pertains to 'college ringers' where countless pundits will tell you to ignore the CH becasue of special circumstance x or y that mrans that, to those apprently in th eknow, the player is actually, 'under ranked'. This usually means that our player will lose.

Two really close matches, both going to a MTB, but we couldn't quite carry off both....

Eliz gets the win, and into the MD, and Tanysha comes up just short.

Gabi Taylor is top seed in the MD

Pity Eliz and Destinee both drawing 500s ranked seeds. Be a good win for either if they pull it off.
