Now that Richel has made her senior debut in Apeldoorn this week, I think it is time that she gets her own thread.

Richel has had some pretty good results in juniors this year:
Semi final in Nottinghill G1 (lost to Yana Buchina)
Final in Luxembourg G2 (lost to Zarina Diyas)
Winner in Salsomaggiore G2
Winner in Charleroi G1

Some facts:
Birth date: 16 April 1992
Plays right handed (double handed backhand)
Favourite surface: hard, clay
Current ITF juniors ranking: 21 (08.06.09)
Career high ITF juniors ranking: 18 (01.06.09)

Can you help me out?
2015 richel played hobart and lost R32. Same week also qualis for aussie open. Can a player play 2 tourneys in 1 week?

So week 1 not much points to defend.
Week 2 a R32
Week 3 R128.

Really hope she can stay close to Kiki.
Abe Kuil is not convinced Richel can make it to top100. Neither is Steffan Kok.
I hope this will give her motivation to prove she can.

I have my doubts too, it's just that I don't know if she has the game to make it into the top-100. She's a very atypical player in today's era, really on craftiness and speed around the court. She doesn't have a big serve or big strokes so that's why I Have my doubts too but hopefully she'll prove me wrong and make that step :)

Playing Hobart and AO Q is regarded as seperate weeks even though it's practically the same week, Q points are added after AO is done I guess? Hobart points are added in Week 1 of AO. The thing is, actually Richel can't do too well, because if she's in by Tuesday 4 pm she will be out for AO Q :shrug: so really if she wants to get points she has to do it this week...

FQR against Qiang Wang, the nr 1 seed :cheer:

I watched a bit of this match. Richel wasn't playing too well, too many errors and Wang was too consistent. She even smashed a racquet in the start of the 2nd set.

Here are some photos I took
