What chance a French Open direct entry? Although time is running short I imagine.
Very slim.
As the addict posted earlier, winning the final might take Jodie as high as 109 but that would depend on Zidansek and Juvan's results in San Luis Potosi.
Last year the last direct main draw entrance was 105. I believe the deadline is 6 weeks before. Jodie isn't scheduled to play next week as far as I'm aware. She would need results in Charleston, Bogota and other events before the deadline to work in her favour.
There were a crazy number of players using SR to enter the Australian Open, after extended spells out injured. Some of those players have now used their SR for 2 Slams, which I thought was the max allowed. It looks like Pavlyuchenkova, Cristian, Tig, Kucova and Saisai Zheng could still be eligible, plus anyone who has met the criteria since then (Svitolina seems to be returning in Charleston, Sorribes Tormo, Krunic if they happen to return in time).
Brilliant result and week for Jodie. Should give her a real confidence boost. Not sure how she will do on clay. Maybe she should stick to this level on hard courts for a bit where she could pick up some decent points. Don't think she has anything to defend until June does she?
I'm not usually a fan of chasing points, but top 100 is such a big milestone, and Jodie is so close, I think it might be a good idea for her to play some non-clay tournaments where she has a much greater chance at success (and points).
