Week 34 - WTA250 Cleveland, USA Hard

HarryGem · Club Coach

Have to say this is a very decent line up for a 250 providing there aren't a lot of late withdrawals.

Jo has looked better since her win at Nottingham (though the field was much weaker there than here) and only fell away in the 3rd set last time out. She does have a tricky section though with a possible meeting with Samsonova in round 2 and SST in round 3. Providing they both make it through of course. Hope Jo can stay fit enough to win a few matches in to prepare for the US Open.

Well done Tara 7-6(6) 6-4

Really pleased for Tara. I cannot get the drawsheet up but I would guess that she earns more cash and picks up more points for a win here than quite a few ITF events.

Q1: MOORE, Tara (GBR) 432 def AKITA, Shiho (JPN) 8 414 7-6(6) 6-4

Q2: MOORE, Tara (GBR) 432 (CH=145 2017) v HARRISON, Catherine (USA) 4 340 (CH=256 2020)
They played in 2018, 2020 and 2021 with Catherine winning all three.

Great win, and a decent draw in the doubles too.

Hmm, the WTA website draw has Emina playing with Jessica Moore (AUS). I'll wait before posting the full lineup.

They play Eikeri and Harrison

A few wins for Jo here are important , Heather could well take over as British number one post the US Open, looking at the 5 week rankings points on live tennis. Interesting few weeks .

Should be 12 points for Tara for winning her QR1. Would be 18 points if she qualified.

If anyone takes over as British no.1 from Jo one hopes it is Emma. Emma has a 4th round Wimbledon in her CV this year. Jo has a WTA title this year. In the BJK cup Heather lost on home ground to a lowly ranked Mexican and was bailed out by Katie Boulter's wins. I don't think Heather is really British one based on the perforomances of the other 3.

but its all about points , Rosamund, regardless of how we feel , and Heather could well take it on points , deserved or not- and soon. Shes currently standing as number one on the 5 week ranking predictions on live tennis
