Ella also has won a wildcard into the WTA250 ATX Open in Austin in February 2027. That'll be a nice little $3k bonus !

 Which she won't be able to benefit from (the money). Remember, as a college student she's restricted to $10K prize money a year, after which she can only receive prize money equal to tournament expenses, an amount she'll easily reach with or without playing a WTA250.

 Although that is next year and one never knows, she might have quit college then and the addict might be right

I wonder how the lawsuit to change that rule is progressing. I thought it was going to be decided in the spring.

 As I understand, the lawsuit that was settled this spring (with Maya Joint, Reese, etc), was for pre-college earnings (the players won and can now earn as much as they like before entering fulltime college). But it doesn't apply to during full-time college time.
