Karo will crack the top 50 after qualifying for Doha (despite losing to Flipkens). But it will be temporary, as points from Kuala Lumpur will soon come off.

Karo is absolutely crushing her low-ranked opponents, as it should be. :yeah: She has a good shot at taking out Cibulkova in the semifinal, I think.
Kris, on the other hand, was a little lucky to beat Babos (who choked from a break up in the third set). She actually played better vs. Vekic, but was horrible on the big points: 0/3 break points saved and 3/12 break points converted. She really outplayed Vekic (winning six more total points), but kept choking on the big points. When she finally broke back for 5-all in the third set, she promptly handed it back and Vekic easily served out the match. And I don't know why she stopped attacking Vekic's serve after the first set.
