Bloody brillIant.

Well done Fran. Hopefully that gets her into the us open main draw.

Lets see how next week goes as it could get her into the top 100.

Yes, it was great to have a good crowd and, although highly supportive at times of their favourite, they were generous in applause for fine play from Fran which was lovely to see

So that's almost the same points as a 3rd round Wimbledon appearance. The vagaries of tennis rankings.

Not quite sure what's wrong there, though folk will always disagree with some of the respective points allocations, as I have myself in the past. I guess maybe wins in most events vs Slam wins may more likely seem anomalous but we have to have a scale.

And tbf I think the overall scales are not bad just now, and a good job was made last year in smoothing out some of the level to level increases and getting rid of some very clear anomalies.

Now we have from top to bottom round to round scaled down versions of the Slam points ( OK, you can only scale L32 wins on throughout the pyramid since L64 and L128 wins are not general ).

Her OFFICIAL ranking is 104 as of today's ranking list. She's on 712 points, whilst Jeanjean at WR100 is on 744. Live rankings are as Peter says, so on the brink of cracking the top 100.
