A good week with 300+ points netted. So far for the quarter GB women have scored 1,362 out of 1595 required to break even. However, it's mainly the "usual suspects" who are doing the scoring.

Thanks for the updates on Katie Swan - she gained 6 points in both of the Lousada tournaments (12 overall), so I guess I don't understand exactly how the ranking points work if only 10 are to come off, but I guess as the first tournament didn't finish until November 25th last year, that her Lousada ranking points may not come off until December.

It is though a worrying time for Katie S - the injuries, psychological traumas from losing and then feeling worthless, added to the loss of nearly all her ranking points means that she is now almost starting from scratch, and at 25, that must be quite hard for her, I think, not only mentally but financially too.

I am one of those people who have followed her career for years and who believes that if she is fit, with a good mindset and firing on all cylinders, that she has a game that belongs in the top 100, but it is really starting to feel like crunch time for her right now, and I feel it is crucial that she has a really good season in 2025.

Pleased to hear that Jodie is on the way back to playing again - she's a good player and needs to get some points in before she losing too many more ranking points.

 For a 25K a R1 win is 5 - only 6 if she had been a qualifier. At that point she would have been a Direct Entrant. Sad times for Katie S and Katy D. Both sorely missed at the moment At least Jodie is playing 

Katie Boulter can add more (87) if she wins tomorrow.

A good week with a lot of points scored and a few players getting over the line (Brooke, Holly, Kristina, Freya and Ranah)

A month to go.

Overall nett +459 for the quarter currently. Some useful points for Emily Ap, but sadly for this week no fireworks.
