Week 12 - WTA1000 Miami, USA Hard

Is there anywhere a site givings rankings history ? The WTA website used to but the link doesn't work.
I wanted to look at Harriet's progress since summer 2015 when she and Katy D were neck and neck at just over WR340

I like using this site. It gives the date, event, event level, surface, players ranking at the time, and opponents ranking. Gives a really good snapshot of where they were, currently are etc. although don't think you can actually compare two players, you'd have to open up two windows.

You can also click on the 'vRk' column and that would list the opponents ranking in order (after you bypass those unranked), so you can see how many career top 100 wins, top 200 wins etc. that a given player has. I think it's really useful/.

Thanks, that's just what I was looking for, and hadn't bookmarked it so couldn't remember.

So when I watched Harriet in 2015 she was at an early career high of 345, before slipping back to 509, and she didn't break 300 until 2017.
Katy seems to have been stuck in the 200's for ever, although I know there have been a few injuries along the way.

There is a "rankings history" option on players' individual pages on the WTA site which as implied leads to that history.

Edit: ah I was confused but now get you, I see it's not paging back before 2021.

Harriet underway, but after all that bigging up, I've got a bad feeling that it's not on a streamed court. Seems to be just Dodin's and Scheidlova's Q matches on at the moment.

Still on serve, *1-2, but Harriet has saved 2 BPs. It's strange because Unibet are advertising Minnen vs Baptiste at circa 5pm (the following match on that court) with their little streaming symbol, but no sign of Harriet.

She held for 2-2.

I've given up hope (of a stream). First blood Martincova, 2-4*.

All other Q courts are covered, matches involving Zarazua, AKS, Danilovic, but the only match not being covered is Harriet. Even looking on Bet365 to follow the score, and her match isn't there either, but those other 3 are.

Edit - had the serving symbol the wrong way.

Harriet's match is now on bet365 but no stream.

3-6 1-0*

I've been in touch with Unibet live chat, but will likely be over before anything possibly happens, if it ends in 2. The second set seems much more competitive, first set was over in about 30 mins, but they've already exchanged breaks in the second, currently 2-1*, but a very long current game here, and Harriet has had 4 BPs in it.

Another break for Harriet after a 16 point game with many BPs.

*3-1

And broken back again to 15.

3-2*

I was kind of half watching Linette vs Montgomery, while following the Harriet score, Linette won in 3, although her 2 sets were very wide, but didn't realise that the winner of that plays Jo next until the post match interview, so Linette is her R2 opponent.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Harriet 5-5 in the 2nd, but has just saved 3 BPs from *0-40, but has another one to face now.
