50 points for the SF is no ranking points gain yet though does cover the current 11th counter 50 points due off next week.

85 points for the final or 140 points for the title would be definite additions.

SF: (1) Emina Bektas (USA) & Tara Moore CR 181 (90+91) Lost to (4) Timea Babos & Nao Hibino (HUN/JPN) CR 331 (212+109) 6-7 3-6

Shame - but a useful 50 point non-counter. cry cry

Amazing to see Timea and Nao at CR 331 - but that's just me. I thought their CHs were far higher than they actually are.

Timea , of course, was once doubles world number one!!

Interesting that the WTA only allows 11 counters for their doubles rankings.

Probably in general works against the decent specialists who will have to drop plenty reasonable scores and in favour of the more occasional ( but maybe 'better' ) players who rack up bigger points in their fewer outings.
