Going to be a proper test for Jodie to see exactly where shes at.

Not sure what Heather worked on over the break tbh - looks much the same in terms of game, gameplan, and confidence. Sadly, I think we can safely say that Heather's best tennis is behind her (in singles at least).

Yes I was heart over head in the predictor competition for Heather. I cant see her getting back into the top 100 so Id have to agree there. The type of game she plays and her conditioning suggests that might be he case.

Was interesting seeing this year's predictions. Particularly GB #3 to #5 had quite a range and we ended up ( well, before the late entries ) averaging #3 Jodie WR 104, #4 Katie B WR 106 abd #5 Katie S WR 107. Our other top 6 averages were #1 Emma WR 36, #2 Harriet WR 90 and a bit back, #6 Heather WR 153

And this week's live rankings have reflected the 3 having pretty good weeks here and at the United Cup, and upping their ranking points.

Live 130. Jodie  474 - 18 + 29 (so far) = 485 (so far)
Live 132.  Katie S  435 + 40 = 475
Live 134.  Katie B  457 - 13 + 29 (so far) = 473 (so far)

Be great if we can see continued progress towards the top 100.

Like CD, I went most out on a limb this year for Katie Swan, us both having her as our predicted GB #2, my WR 84 and CD's WR 80. She certainly ended last year, and has now started this year, very much showing her at least top 100 potential.

 If she can continue to control her emotions at times when matches are tight I'm optimistic Jodie will be top 100 this year.

Looks like Jodie's been given a walkover and she's into the final.

Great news to wake up to. Katie has won a couple of W60's but Jodie hasn't yet. It would be good for Jodie's confidence to win this one but I've had a feeling all week that Katie is back on form and will take this.

OER showing the points and another (small) rise in the rankings with Jodie at WR127

 Yes, me too. It HAS to happen, it's just a question of when in the next few years. But last year did seem like a bit of a sea change for Jodie

To echo others, great to have an all-GB final biggrin

If Katie is 100% I think she may just have the edge here. Great start to the year for both of them.
