I hadnt realised Jodie has never won a title above W50 level before, that surprised me.

 She won Croissy-Beaubourg W60 last year, her other titles were two W25 and two W15. She's won much better doubles titles though.

 Ha, never realised there was such a thing as W60! I actually meant at W75 level and should have said that but assumed level down was W50 and so said never won above W50 so hence how it came out 

With quite a few changes for this year, with Wx's now being tournaments where the winner gets x points rather than x being the prize money, one could argue that last year's W60 title was slightly bigger than this W75.

Both had/have 60K prize money. But W60s last year gave 80 points to the winner, whereas W75s this year, now by definition, give 75 points to the winner. So, in practical terms this would not really have been bigger.

Bit too much of a challenge I'm afraid

F:- Jodie Anna Burrage (GBR) WR271 lost to Tatjana Maria (GER) WR95 [1] 4-6 1-6

 A really good tournament for Jodie at this stage. Did anyone see the match? I'm interested to know if the second set was her running out of steam, or frustration getting the better of her, or just beaten by the better player on the day
