Yes, but I think 9vicman means she should have pulled out of the doubles the day before, after the terribly long singles match in the heat

And I agree (although I realise it's easy with hindsight)

But I think one of the problems is that the juniors' doubles event counts towards their overall ranking and this puts extra pressure on them (and their teams) for them to play

Which is plain wrong, but is a consquence of how the ranking system works for juniors (as opposed to adults)

Yes I agree too that playing the 2 doubles the day before was unnecessary.  In my mind she probably wanted to at least cover her points from last year to arrest the drop in her rankings.  As you pointed out doubles count towards that ranking and last year she was runner-up.

This G1 event is just a warm up.  The AO carries 3 times the points (and more in later rounds).  Ideally a player would want to play 2 or 3 matches to get used to the environment and then move on to the main event while staying fresh.

Completely agree, simon

Losing in the Qfs would be perfect

Hannah has now withdrawn from the W75 in Brisbane - which seems sensible and is not a biggie

(If she really is feeling perky and raring to go, she could always get a wildcard into Glasgow that week)

Hannah's retirement is reported by Brazilian media as caused by feeling unwell due to the heat.

 Which coincides with Efremova's message

She said Hannah was exhausted
