Indeed, good rather than great, well done to her.

 I'm just querying her opponent's ranking. I make it WR234, She is not a seed here so should not be higher than Fran.

You are correct DF - 113 is her doubles ranking - caught out by the WTA yet again !

Shymanovich beat the top seed Tatjana Maria WR 74 by 2 & 2 in R1 before calming down and beating Taylah Preston WR 160 by 7-5 in the 3rd set in R2, still a decent looking result in itself.

Still looks winnable. Hopefully Fran is good to go again and leaves us to choose a word to describe another win

Shymanovich got beaten last week in Mumbai by a 15-year old Indian girl, Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi, 6-4 6-1. Unranked and made the SFs to jump into the world's top 700. One to look out for!

 Took IND from 28 to 26 in WTA strongest nation.

I always get excited by prospects from countries that don't have much representation in tennis. If India could get a player to the top, that would be BIG for the WTA (Sania Mirza cut her singles career quite short from memory).

 IND have plenty of players (23 ranked with a further 19 with WTA points) and host a lot of tournaments, but they rarely get above WR 300. Ankita Raina is the best I can recall (CH 160) in recent times.

Read an interesting article about India having 10 per cent of the world's tennis playing population but an incredibly fragmented governing body: www.himalmag.com/culture/sumit-nagal-australian-open-2024-aita
