Nice pics
Well, actually I think her first problem right now is not her ranking, but the confidence she needs to find back her best level. If she enters a 100k, maybe she would have a nice draw (and some free points as you say), maybe not (and an early loss isn't very useful now). I think she should play some 25k's (or even 50k's) to be sure to win matches and confidence, why not some titles also.
Her ranking isn't a real problem, since she should stay in top 300 if she plays well in 25k and 50k the next few months. She has been playing pretty well for some weeks.
