 Maybe - but Yeri Hong is playing the J300 in Malaysia and is into R3, having just beaten Maaya Revathi WTA 648 !!

 It's nip and tuck biggrin

Yeri has now made the QFs in the J300 which equates exactly to Megan's SF in the J200 - who's the first to drop?

 FWIW, assuming Yeri Hong is still at the QF stage in her Malaysia J300, I make it that Megan has just sneaked ahead to be live #1 2011 born.

Much will change, if not this week, through the rest of the year as both ( and no douht others ) continue to progress, probably steadily replace lower rankings counters and move up the junior rankings ( Megan's 140 singles final points are more than the total of 5 of her previous 6 singles counters, so we can expect further big moves ). It is arguable anyway how much rankings matter at such young ages, but hey that's where we are right here, right now ...

Just to mention that Yeri lost her SF ....

Is that enough to give Megan the 2011ers World Crown next week ?

 Yes, if I've done my sums right.

Your sums are spot on, Indy

28th April - Top 2011-born girls:

JR 162 - Megan Knight

JR 175 - Yeri Hong

Yeh !!!!


(and just to mention, because it matters at this age, both are early 2011-ers, so no excused from Yeri on that front )

Really pleased to see that Megan has been invited to take part in the Giorgio Armani Classic Junior Invitational event at the very upper-class London Hurlingham club

She'll be one of six girls - Julieta Pareja, the Penickova twins, Nana Leme de Silva, Megan and Thea Frodin

It's a beautiful place, a lot of top adult players, film stars, politicians, you can guess the sort of thing

And it serves as very good grasscourt practice for Junior Wimbledon

(Mark Ceban will also be taking part in the boys)
