Both Alicia and Suzan are playing in Angola as well as the Kenyan girl who is in the doubles final.

I think we shall have to call her two set Hannah! Would she win if it went to three sets? Cant see us finding that out in this tournament, me thinks this young lady needs a bit tougher competition moving forward.

 Some progression of late by Hannah. Not saying you're wrong the way Hannah is now playing but before September and her Portugal W50 title she hadn't won a senior ITF title at any level.

Think now maybe a bit of mixture of events, certainly including tougher, in the new year ( her ranking rise by itself will almost lead to that apart from being a fast rising teen star ) and she's on the brink of clinching an Aus Open Q spot.  Maybe get into qualifying in the December French WTA 125s. I forget how many events she can still play in the short term?

Hannah WR 439 at 31/08 to now live ranked 234.

She is going to have such a window to keep pushing that ranking up during the first half of next year with so many points going to be banked and not due off until late in the year. And with higher rankings come these sterner test opportunities.

 Yes. Last year, the first half was so dodgy that, as you say, the flip side is she has a lot of opportunity in 2027 to really make strides

The ranking rise in itself is not surprising - it was always coming - but it certainly shows that things are not linear, it can happen in fits and starts

Biljana has been an important addition - I don't believe she works with Hannah full time but that's maybe even better

Much tighter between Klugman and Crawley this week. 5-5 right now. Hannah isn't quite as rock solid as she was in Wrexham where she barely missed a ball. Second serve seems to be a bit wobblier as well, there's been a few doubles
