Kerber is on the order of play for tomorrow... so someone's gut feeling was right methinks... cry

I've just been hunting around and that (tomorrow's OoP) was the only source I could find. For a 100K+H, the information flow is rubbish. It was pretty obvious from the deafening silence that she'd lost, but there was silence on Kerber's site too, so that gave me faint hope. However, Kerber's site seems to be ignoring the existence of this event altogether.

Heather is 1st up at 2 pm GMT on the court that bet365 live score for.

No she's not, she's last on.

Anne and Sarah must have lost their doubles as well. cry

Ha, wolf just beat me to it.

Play starts at 5 pm ( 1 pm local ) and Heather is on Not Before 11.30 pm ( 7.30 pm local ), but hey it is on Stadium Court so should be on bet365 smile

If you take Heather's points from her best eight results of the last six months, including what she has earned so far this week, and double that total, so that you have sixteen results from 12 months, you get a quantity of points that would put her 91st in the rankings. So that is roughly where she should be in six months time if she maintains her form of the last six months. Fingers crossed she will improve her form further.

Strange - maybe I had both Wed & Thu OoPs opened and flipped back to Wednesday's by mistake confuse

sorry about that.

I think she'll be ranked way higher than just 91 in six months time, provided that she can stay healthy. To get to 90, she needs to do well in just a couple of main tour events, I'm sure she'll do that and more. I wonder how she'll do on the dirt this year?

With Anne bowing out to kerber yesterdayI believe Heather is Britain's number 1 player in the race.

They did, Anne & Jill Craybas by 5 & 4 & Sarah & Dekmeijere by 1 & 3 to the alternates, Rus & Yakimova. bleh

All in all, a lousy night's work for the Brits! hmm

Yes, she is - funnily enough I just posted the top 6 on Twitter to add a bit of info after Emily's loss. The top 6 in the GB 'race' (in fact, I'll add the rest of the top 10 just to show the huge gap between the top 6 and the rest of the top 10 as well as the one between 3 and 4) are:

260 Heather
259 Anne
219 Elena

75 Naomi B
70 Katie
62 Emily

22 Lisa
18 Anna F
15 Tara
11 JoKo (included on the assumption that she will be GB by the end of the year)

I see she is with K-Swiss now. Very cool.

Moreover, her raquet is unbranded but I'm pretty sure she is with Dunlop.

These will be the points this year, which I actually do find the most interesting. So as not to be confused though, it is worth noting that the WTA Race started in November, and looking at folks' points it must have started with the points going towards the 15/11/10 rankings.

This has liitle effect on the top players and of our top 3 only Heather has one whole extra point from last year. Has more effect on such as Fitzy and Mel who carry 41 and 52 points respectively from last year.

The latest rankings in the WTA Race ( at 07/03/11 ) had :

57. Anne 238 pts
62. Heather 214
78. Elena 169

...which ties up with Steven's figures once you add their latest points and allow that it includes one point more for Heather. So she's certainly going top however you look at it.

I have to say Bet365 are providing an invaluable service.
Their odds predict a closer match than I first anticipated only around 38/62 in favour of Marino.
