Yeah, given that her first two opponents are both top 100, she's done extremely well this week Great performance from Amanda. In general it appears that her serve wasn't functioning as well as in rd1 and that cost her...she got it working more in set 2 but Birnerova pounced right at the end.
She'll be into the 240s now, I wonder whether she'll make the AO qualies cut, what did it extend down to last year ?
We could have 5 players - Anne, Mel, Katie, Amanda and maybe Sarah. Haven't had that many in a GS qualies outside British soil for quite a while.
I would think that her season is now finished, unless she plays Doha in a few weeks time.
