Week 1 - WTA Premier ($1M) - Brisbane, Australia (hard)

In 2018 Harriet started her season at a $15k event in Sharm el Sheikh. What a difference 12 months can make.

Indeed, but in the predictions so far submitted only one person is forecasting her making the top 100 in 2019...

Ive also predicted top 100 for her, in fact Ive maybe undercut it top 75 is possible.

That would be a very 'bold' prediction indeed Jag (IMO). Really hope she can, but she'll need to prove it at these bigger events outside of the grass season - ideally starting in the early hours. There's a difference between the big leagues and Euro 25k's and the odd weak Asian 60k. It didn't go too well post Wimbledon the last time she entered the bigger events.

I reckon she'll stay roughly where she is now, but she's one of my favourite British players so I wish her well.

But yes, going from 300 odd and 15k's to breaking the top 150 really is superb progress.

It's not too late to change predictions, right...?

Tremendous win though and her second best, by ranking, outside of grass. Great stuff.
