Now here's a surprise fact... Mandy is just this next win away from becoming the GB #10 week after next...
She will overtake both Katie B and Katy D, and be level on points with Fran.
Current live points for these 4, week of 28/10 is:
Francesca Jones: 145 pts
Katy Dunne: 142 pts
Katie Boulter: 141 pts
Amanda Carreras: 140 pts
Katie B is due back next week - she's entered into the Istanbul W25 presently - so in fact potentially it could be Katie and Mandy in those 9 and 10 positions by early November.
Well, assuming EWS doesn't crash the GB top 10 by reaching the China 100K final
But yes, very good from Mandy. Would love her to keep moving up and get into French Open Qualifying, which she wasn't far off in 2017 when she got injured.

Yes, that is the one thing she is definitely owed!
Well, despite the 2nd set comeback that's a disappointing loss for Mandy..but her opponent is still 100 places ahead in the rankings. So no further move yet for Mandy up the GB rankings and towards the top 300, and not sure when she is scheduled to play again next. There are diminished events in Europe now through to the new year, and the clay circuit is effectively ending.
R16: Amanda CARRERAS (GBR) [Q] 352 lost to Eva GUERRERO ALVAREZ (ESP) [8] 246=CH 4-6 6-2 2-6
