Allegra seems to have been quietly having a very good year picking up points regularly and getting into higher tier tournaments as a result
She was ranked 1148 in December when I set up the predictions competition. She's up to WR720 in the new rankings, and GB No25 - from 35
That's a rapid climb, is her (seemingly) preference for clay likely to hamper how much she can rise more long term given most of our tournaments where she could get wildcards are hard or grass

She's off to US college next month so that will slow her rankings progress for the next few years, but it will give her plenty of practice and match time on hard courts

Thanks for that info Lambda, does that mean she may appear in the odd tournament in the US thats hosted near her college but otherwise wont play many futures events? Hopefully it will be a benefit to her because she appears to have talent and desire. Is the US womens college system getting close to the mens in terms of preparing for a senior career?
