That's a good win. Victoria is an 18 year old with a JCH of 67. Any youngster with a JCH inside the top 100 usually does pretty well at the W15 level.

 Trouble for her no doubt was that Alicia is rather more than a W15 level player.

Yes, she has progressed rapidly. She was playing W15 qualifying tournaments as recently as the end of May. Since then she has won a W35 and a W15.

Progressed in terms of ranking, but not really tennis 

Because her ranking wasn't a true one (as applies to many of the college players).

They're playing WTA 500 level, say, but are unranked - the tennis doesn't need to progress, just the ranking, which has to be done gradually unless your federation gives you generous wildcards 

F:- Alicia Dudeney (GBR) WR692 [4] v Anna Petkovic (GER) WR 841

They had a MP at 5-4 in the second set. But not only lost that, they also lost the second set TB. But it all came good in the MTB
