Super

The latest official rankings for 27/05 were already out before the final and she had 49 (RU) points added, taking her up to WR 259.

The 75 title points would have her up to about WR 240 (GB #7). I have no idea whether they will add late matches in in the next day or two or whether she will have to wait until after the French Open.

This result broke my face from smiling so much.

Already our third womens W75 singles title of the year. That means that 2024 now accounts for fully half of our W75/$75K titles this millennium.
The others were: Keothavong (2011), Bally (2009, 2008)

With seven ITF singles titles at or above W35(or W25/$25K etc), 2024 has already surpasssed the six such titles collected in 2023; still with half the year remaining in which to possibly collect more.

That's so random publishing rankings before the end of the week. I know Roland Garros starts Sunday but...

WTA always update rankings at the end of Saturday for the week before a Grand Slam, nothing to do with RG starting Sunday.

Winners of tournaments finishing today will have their points adjusted at the next scheduled ranking update.

Clever tournament to choose as all the players at her actual level (as opposed to her ranking) were in the French Open Qualifying.

Thanks Lambda. In which case more logical not to include other events at all rather than post 90% of the points. In any case, the new world rankings are not aligned with the seeds, so not sure why it's so important to get them out early.

Well done Fran Jones. Its really good that we have got a Claycourt specialist but such a shame that we couldnt see her in at least the French Open quallys so we could see what she could do.
Does anybody know what the cut off ranking was for the quallys at the FO?

Think it dropped quite a bit from the initial cut-off to around 240.
