The win today will only move Naiktha up another 2-3 places (about 176). If she wins the title she would be up to about 168. However, she does not lose any counters for the rest of this year and will still have five counters less than 15 (2x1, 10,11 and 14). No points off in singles either, the 12 points this week is her second highest counter. Plenty of upside potential until well into the new year.
That's a pity. They seem to play well together. No tournament next week in Australia, but Naiktha is entered for Cairns the folowing week, but Ankita has no ITF entries at the moment.
