Do they not get accommodation at WTA events ?

Incidentally their prize money for winning the W60 last week was $1,672 each

Lissey and Liv have the opportunity to become significantly better off if they can become WTA regulars.

Perhaps there should be more W100 and 125 tournaments to make it easier for players ranked 100-250 to break into the main tour.

Looks like either Lissey or Sam could go to British number one doubles spot this week, over Tara, If results work out. And those two and Liv could go top 100 regardless of overtaking Tara or not.

Interesting doubles times for the women.

Looks correct to me Jon

Current doubles position (according to Coric live rankings)
280 points for winning Istanbul would be an extra 220 on the current position, final would be 120 whilst the QF winners will get an extra 50. So a good chance for Sam but the other two need a big week.

WR91 993 points Tara
WR100 924 points
WR104 886 points Sam
WR118 791 points Alicia
WR121 759 points Olivia

Good to see Alicia and Olivia earning some decent money and closing in on the top 100

I remember watching Alicia's video saying how difficult it was just breaking even playing pro tennis. Both girls are late 20's now and I assume Olivia still has some coaching work at Loughborough to fall back on.

So now, if Lissey & Olivia were to win the title here not only would they both enter the top 100, Lissey would also be ranked GB #1.

Lissey is actually currently live on 841 points so would go to 1011 points with the title. And Sam is on 866 points. As per the live-tennis site and I agree.

I think Coric was wrong when I looked up the points - it now agrees with both luve-tennis and Indi, so I edited my post  biggrin
