and Johanna Larsson reached career-high of 202 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jumping 30 places

It is so nice to see all those young players making so much prgress. I like Szavay but I am sad that it was because Shahar lost points from Memphis.

I thought Shahar is going to play Memphis, no?

I thought Shahar is going to play Memphis, no?

She is playing Memphis but she lost her finalist points last week and because she didn't make enough points in Doha she lost her 17th ranking, If Shahar will have a good tournament in Memphis this week (Semi/final/winner) she will get her rankings back to 17, though Agnes can beat Maria but it is not predictable.

Nice to see Szavay moving further up the Top20!
