Week 7 - WTA 250 ($235K) - Melbourne, Australia Hard
Permalink  

It's a very big advantage to have qualified or lucky losered for the Australian Open this year. Not only do you get to play the Slam but also three WTA events. A lot of money, a chance for ranking points and some nice sunshine. Meanwhile the highest level tournament on the ITF circuit for the whole of Feb is a 25K.

 And Sam Murray didn't / couldn't give it a go for whatever reasons.

 A bit surprised Amazon didn't have any commentary on Fran's match last night, will they rectify that for the Quarter Finals?

They are not providing direct coverage for this tournament. If the feed they are provided with has commentary then it will have commentary, but they will not provide their own.

 I see, I assumed it was Amazon since all the commentators seem to be British.

The run continues !

QF:- Francesca Jones (GBR) / Nadia Podoroska (ARG) UNR (UNR+297) def Petra Martic (CRO) / Anastasija Sevastova (LAT) CR 478 (306+172) 6-3 6-2

That's 110 points, and will put Fran up to 546 in the rankings, according to Coric

SF:-QF:- Francesca Jones (GBR) / Nadia Podoroska (ARG) UNR (UNR+297) v Ankita Raina (IND) / Kamilla Rakhimova (RUS) CR307 (115+192)

 Live-tennis shows 541 so same ball park. Another win apparently would put Fran just outside top 400, equal with Serena!
