Can we rename this thread? Something like Flipper's quest for top 50...Flipper's march to top 50...Flipper's mission - Top 50...something like that?

Kirsten is 68 this week but 58 in the race.

In theory Kirsten should have a nice game for clay so fingers crossed for a good clay season.

New CHR :cool:
You don't like the current name of this thread? Which one do you want me to change it to?

It's not that I don't like it.

Just thought we could focus on Kirsten's goal of top 50.

Maybe we could change to Ranking Watch - Mission Top 50.

New career high in doubles: 221 (previous CHR was 300 in 2003!)

Doubles :cool:
And I'll change the thread now! ;)

Kirsten's at no 70 today.

#72 this week

Upto #69 today :)

Back upto #68 :)

#71 :(

new CHR next week :)

:cheer:

Kirsten will be top 60 on Monday:bounce:

But now to defend 3R Wimbly poionts ... come on Flipper you can do it!

#59 to be exact. Career high. *huge grin*

:woohoo:

#65 today

Flipper :hug:

Down to #89 :sad:

Out of top-100 next week :(

That sucks :sad:

And then so many points to defend from Indian Wells :scared:

#105 :(

#114 :bigcry:

Up to #103! :bounce:

#86 today.

^:yeah:

#111 :mad:

With Wimbledon 2010 points off, she's now ranked 142nd :help:

You might want to change the title to "Mission top-100" :o

Currently 124 :sad:

I won't change the title because I'm confident that she will get back in the top 100 quickly :p

#144 :help:

For what it's worth, she's ranked higher than Serena.

:lol: (but not really... :()

I know. It's the most comedy I can create under the circumstances.

#188 :tape:

Soon Tammy will be higher than Kirsten in the rankings!

Up to 176 :yeah:

156th :)

182 :sad:

238 :o

Ranking watch: mission top-200 :unsure:

175 :)

Ranking watch: mission top-200 :unsure:

Check! Let's go to 150. Babysteps ;)

That's nice :)

133, so she's back in top 150!

She's virtually even back in top 100 atm (after ther first round win at USO). But I guess she will fall out again after all first round matches have been played... But it's only a matter of time.

69!

From 260 to 69 in under 6 months!

Kirsten is on track to finish in the top 100 fir just the third time in her career. In fact at 69 (& 58 in the race) Kirsten is on track for her beat ever end of season ranking. Current best is 77 at end of 2010.

Kirsten career best ranking is 59.

I don't want to get carried away though, Kirsten needs to stay fit then anything is possible for Flipper.

So, how many points does she have to defend for the rest of the year?

Top 100 at the end of the season seems to be a certainty. Great!

I don't know, I think none? Wasn't she injured at this time, last year?
And I read she's playing 2 more ITF-tournaments and in Linz & Luxemburg so she can still rise in the rankings :bounce: :bounce:

Do you know what her schedule is?

Do you know what her schedule is?

No, not really. But she said it in an interview with Sporza.
Now, she will rest for a week I think, and then play 2 ITF-tournaments. And later she will play in Linz & Luxemburg :)

Kirsten was scheduled to play $75k Shrewsbury this week but understandably withdrew.

Good news about Linz and Luxembourg. I expect she'll be in qualifying unless she gets a WC. That may be possible in Luxembourg?

Flipper has nothing to defend. Last year she lost rd 1 in Shresbury and 2nd rd in $25k in France that's it.

Yeah I think Luxembourg will give her a WC, and doesn't she normally get in the main draw with her new ranking #69?

The cutt off is 6 or 8 weeks before the start of the tournament

Mission definitely back on!

Kirstens CHR is 59. According to the rankings thread her projected ranking for Monday is 57!

New career high ranking - so deserved :worship:

keep going to top 50 baby :bounce:

New CHR 58.

54th in race.

Keep going Kirsten :bounce:

Up almost 200 in just in a few months :worship:

Top 50 is so close now!

She's virtually at number 55 at the moment! :hearts:
At the calender on her website it says that she will play 2 more ITF tournaments after Luxembourg!
So there's a chance she can be in the top 50 at the end of the year? :bounce:

She probably withdrawed from the ITF-tournaments...
In the interview with Sporza she said that Luxembourg is her last tournament of the year...

Playing ITF tournaments after this tourney would be a stupid idea anyway. Resting a bit, and preparing for next season, that's what she should do! And I'm sure she will.

Career-high #55 :inlove:

Getting closer!

1 point behind number 50 Robson

:cheer:

No points to defend next week, but with points coming off, she stays at 51. Hoping for a good first round in Hobart :)

Kirsten is 51 with 1152 points.

The below players can't gain points this week as they have already lost or aren't playing

# 50Robson 1153
# 48 hradecka 1162
# 47 Watson 1171

Also flipper plays number 46 schiavone who has 1178 points.

Please play well tonight and take this chance Kirsten.

Cracked the top 50

Nice! :D

In the real time ranking, she stays at 51???? Is her 16th (or 15th) best results better than 30? :o

Finally! :woohoo:

Well done, Kirsten! :)

Let's hope she can finish 2013 inside top-50. That would be really awesome considering the amount of points she's defending in the second half.

I saw this in Eggy's thread as well. Quick count from the wta site delivered 11 tournaments in 2012 with 30+ points :confused:

On 31 december, her 16th best result was 14 points... So maybe, after Auckland last week it has changed to 30+, but that would be strange, no?

She's 48th now :D TBE corrected the ranking.

Up up up :yeah: :)

At the beginning of the AO (40 points off) she will be inside top-40 :eek:

:cheer:

238 :o

Just quoting this post, because it was her ranking in april 2012. With a good Australian open, she can go up over 200 places in less than a year :eek: :eek:

:worship:

That is a huge achievement for Kirsten! :cheer:

That is truly amazing! Just after 9 months! :worship: :worship::worship:

Virtually at #37 after first round win :eek:
This is insane! :hearts:

Well she just annihilated a player ranked above her in Zakopalova so I see no reason why she can't go higher.

Kirsten has beaten Zakopalova, Vinci, Ivanovic, Cibulkova, Stosur, Barthel, Lisicki all over last year. Kirsten belongs in top 24 in my opinion - go get it Flipper!

Will past Kanepi now too.
Falls just short of passing U Radwanska and Arvidsson, they have both already lost but will be just ahead.

This is exciting! Kirsten has semi in Rosmalen to defend but other than that nothing major till 2nd round in New York! So many opportunities to gain points!

Big chance to be seeded at Roland Garros and Wimbledon now

Top 40 after AO a certainty?

Keep going!

Yes, she is now virtually #36! :worship:

REAL TIME RANKING: 32 :yeah:

Other fact, after todays third round matches, she is N°7 in the Race Ranking :)

That's :eek: !!! She's now even seeded for the next grandslams, and she will still rise in the rankings for the next months :worship::worship:

Top 30, here we come! :eek: :D

68 points and she's in :bounce: It's only a matter of time...

Serious now, what about top-20? :devil:

:D Indeed, shouldn't we change the name of the topic to: Ranking Watch-Mission top 20? :D

Big chance to be seeded at Roland Garros and Wimbledon now

I definitely agree. By my figures she has earned about as many points this year as she did up to the U.S. Open last year. She is definitely playing the type of tennis that she showed in when she won Wimbledon and U.S. Open in Juniors in 2003. I definitely think she has a chance to be the next Belgian grand slam champion.

Next slam champion? Nah. If she's lucky she might reach the QF at a slam but nothing more than that IMO.

Looking at the rankings projection thread...Kirsten is 6 points off becoming number 1 ranked Belgian!

She is now....and even more, N°30 at this moment!!! (can still change tough)

With her second round win, she's now the best belgian player and WTA-30!!! :D :worship:

Virtually #28 after Indian Wells. :D
She can easily be top 25 before Roland Garros! :cool:

I really hope so, just to proove some 'belgian fans' wrong :wavey: Go Flipper!

Real Time Ranking: #25 :D
And, believe it or not...only 124 points away from top-20 ;)

:eek: That's really amazing stuff.
She can easily collect those points before she has points to defend in June :D

Real Time # 24 after beating Kvitova but could drop back 1 depending what Citstea does.

And only about 100 points away from top 20. Craazzzyyy stuff! :D

And while she has to defend her Rosmalen points in the next quarter other than that there isnt anything big to defend till US Open as she didnt play Wimbledon last year.

I'd love to know more about Kirsten's clay schedule than just Stuttgart but looking at entry list of the smaller events it seems she'll play the Premier events.

Real time # 21.

So close to top 20. Keep going Flipper!
