Great week for Fran after the disappointing loss at Wimbledon. Hope to see her take her biggest title to date next.

Exciting times for her and hopefully she can smash into the top 100 over the next few weeks.

Winning the title tomorrow would move her up to about 104 in the rankings and then winning her R1 match next week against a qualifier in WTA250 in Iasi would take her right to the brink at 100 or 101. Unfortunately her R2 opponent would likely be the 2nd seed.

Fran is seeded in Iasi so avoids the other seeds to the QF.

Brilliant from Fran, who played a strong tiebreak after the disappointment of missing out earlier Championship points - 2 W75 titles and now a W125 so far this year. Won't be long before a 250 or higher at this rate

Well done Fran!!!!!
