Another great victory. Jodie is making a late charge for Aus Open qualifying. Her live rankings s now 249 but she would need to win the tournament to get into the top 220. She is down for qualifying in Dubai 100k next week which starts on Saturday so impossible to make it now although there are two special exempt places in the main draw if needed. Jodie has fond memories of the Habtoor Club in Dubai winning a 25k there in 2021.
Great win and very encouraging that she seems to be moving up a gear.
No real advantage from winning quickly today, as the other winners all wrapped it up swiftly too - Tatjana Maria won 7-5 6-4, Salkova won 6-1 6-1 and Alycia Parks won 6-1 6-1.
Only dropped 6 games in three matches this week. She's also won a significant number of points (63) compared to her current (live) total of 278.
As for the SR - I don't believe she has used it for any event yet. She may well use it for the AO to avoid qualifying - if not she runs the risk of just missing the cut.
I've forgotten what her SR is - I'm thinking 85 (as at March 18 - first ranking after San Diego) ?
