Week 44 - WTA250 Hong Kong - Hard

indiana · Tennis legend

12 points for winning QR1, 18 points for qualifying though that would probably require beating the top 200 ranked q2 seed.

I assume she'll be in the doubles.

I'd expect to see Emily, Maia and Lissey in the doubles here.

I think Liv has finished for the season though - she posted "Six weeks of Asia to close out the 2025 season" which covers Seoul (15-21 Sept) through to Tokyo (20-26 Oct)

6 weeks on the road is a good effort for anyone - I would take my hat off to anyone able to do that and feel strong at the end of it.

QR1:- Emily Appleton (GBR) WR362 [Q11] lost to Viktoria Morvayova (SVK) WR499 6-4 4-6 5-7

Urgh Emily. Loses 4-6 6-4 7-5 from 5-2* in the third and a match point at *5-4

What an opportunity that was

Thats a shame, would have been a great event to get a win or two in for Emily

Katie plays Eala in round one, Mboko after that if she gets through

the addict · Tennis legend

R1:- Katie Boulter (GBR) WR63 v Alexandra Eala (PHI) WR53

Mboko has to beat Talia Gibson first

the addict · Tennis legend

Just Emily in the doubles - so either Lissey and Maia have gone to JiuJiang or are heading home.

L16:- Emily Appleton (GBR) / Qianhui Tang (CHN) CR147 (78+69) [3] v Shuo Feng (CHN) / En-Shuo-Liang (TPE) CR222 (115+107)

Both Lissey and Maia entered JuaJiang so will be there along with EWS.

Thanks Paul. Doubles draw for JuaJing wasn't out when I looked earlier, so I'll check again in the morning.

loving the insane levels of optimism there, my good man

She lost to Lys in her last tournament which deprived her of a match against Mboko. I fear history will repeat though Eala is having a tough season since her breakthrough.

With Katie dropping 195 points last week and a further 163 points this coming week, she is down to live ranked 98 on 744 points. So getting down close to Australian Open MD cut-off territory.

She has no further points due to drop off this year but could do with adding net points above her lowest counter of 30 points ( which would mean getting to the QF here ).
