Week 6 - WTA500 - Abu Dhabi - Hard

Sheddie · administrator

Emma's had a poor Middle Eastern swing in the past - it's often very windy which messes a little with her usually fluid timing. I'm not sure what her schedule is like over the next few weeks, but expect her to pick up some big wins in Indian Wells, where she's often played well.

Regarding Heather, I wonder whether she shares Dan Evans' reluctance to become a doubles specialist - if she wanted to, she could have made that transition a while back, and certainly has the ability to be one of the leading doubles players in the world

QF:- Luisa Stefani (BRA) / Heather Watson (GBR) CR107 (27+80) lost to Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) / Shuai Zhang (CHN) CR51 (28+23) [4] 7-5 2-6 3-10

*****

SF:- Olivia Gadecki (AUS) / Olivia Nicolls (GBR) CR138 (96+42) v Kristina Mladenovic (FRA) / Shuai Zhang (CHN) CR51 (28+23) [4]

Unrike Eikeri lost her QF match which means Liv will return to her CH of 38 next week, regardless of the result of the SF. And of course further progress will lead to a new CH.
Tereza is back next week.
Olivia Gadecki is also rising, but may get caught by Emily A.

Olivia is now on 2269 points live, which the live-tennis site is showing as live ranked 40, with Eikeri live ranked 39.

Certainly a SF win ( and her biggest ever points haul ) would take her to a new CH.

I was looking at Coric, which shows Eikeri on 2231 after today, and ranked 40. Liv does show on 2269 points. These sites always seem to show something different ! Coric gives the points breakdown so I tend to look there.

I think they are both wrong. Coric hasn't counted Hanyu Guo points from Australia (740 nett) and live-eu has given Eikeri SF points rather than QF points (195 rather than 108)

Lambda · ATP qualifying

LTR is correct, coric is, as usual, wrong.
Eikeri is on 2318 points in the official rankings and is still on 2318 points. Coric has applied the wrong points to Eikeri for Washington (108 instead of 195).

Does anyone use Open Era anymore? People used to hold that up as the best. Im not bothered by 100 percent accuracy so only ever use LTR as I find it the most user friendly and easy to navigate (the app is so easy and clear) and look at, tbh, as well as being good for results and scores. That alongside TNNS app work perfectly for my needs

Open Era is good for singles and gives the points breakdown, but doesn't do doubles

Never looking as if they would turn this around at any time cry

My general default is LTR. But I do use OER quite a bit for women's singles when wanting to see a full points breakdown and points drop-off dates ( for my ranking points projections more than a week ahead ) - a facility which the WTA site certainly should have had many years ago, yet still doesn't unless I've missed something.

I've never really used Coric. I should check it out ( or maybe not, seeing Lambda's comments ).
