With 8 ranking points so far, 26 yo Alice (CH 614) should be into the top 600 for the first time when her points from here are added on 19/05.

 With at least 23 ranking points now she should be comfortably into the top 550!

I had a little punt on her when she was 19 to make the top-500

If she could do that, I'd have a smile for the day

But, more importantly, like Christine, really lovely to see the less high profile players having their moment

And, of course, if Marni wins that'll be just hunky-dory too, such are all GB finals biggrin - especially if she could make top-200 and top-100, I'm not asking too much !!! (Although, if you're going down that route, if Eva Shaw and Gemma Heath could get back into tennis and shake a leg, that'd be just perfect biggrin)

What bookie would offer odds on a player to reach the Top 500!. Unless it was a private bet?

No, not private, but it's not mainstream. 

They offer top-500, top-200 and top-100

But also offer staggered 500-200-100 ones i.e. you get a far smaller payout when they hit the top-500 because you're still in there for the top-200 and the top-100

The odds are not as generous as they should be, tbh, given all the myriad of things that can go wrong between a promising 17 year-old, say, being unranked and getting to be top-200. But it provides a bit of interest.....

Marni won 7-5 1-6 6-2, quite the seesaw battle.
