Ashley's (Nearly) 50 Spot Ranking Jump!

101. Ashley Harkleroad 367.75

Round 1: d. Emilie Loit / 8 quality points
Round 2: d. Elena Bovina / 35 quality points
Round 3: d. Meghann Shaughness / 23 quality points
Quarterfinals: d. Daniela Hantuchova / 43 quality points

Round points for a semifinalist = 135

135 + 8 + 35 + 23 + 43 = 244

(Old pts) + (new points) = (current total)
367.75 + 244 = 611.75

Current ranking estimate: #57

That's a 44 spot jump!!

If she beats Justine Henin-Hardenne:
611.75 + 75 + 55 = 741.75 | roughly 47th in rankings.

If she was able to win the Tier I beating JHH & Serena ( :) ) she would be over 930 ranking points and ranked about 35th.

WoW!!

GO ASHLEY!!:bounce:

Go Ash!!!

Simply amazing... way to go Ash...

Note to low-ranked players who want to see their ranking rise: This is how you do it. :D :D :D

Great demo for the 100+ ranked masses, Ash! :kiss:

:eek: Nice move Ashley! :)

but what is sad is, this time next year, her ranking will just drop. why? b/c of them bogus bonus points. if she is ranked any higher coming into this tournie this time next year, she won't be getting anywhere near those bonus points. And if she were to post the same results. Her rankings is destined to fall no matter what next year this time :(

True SS, but she has a whole year to add to her ranking. And who knows, after she wins the Harkleroad Slam, maybe this won't even be in her best 17 results. :p

:wavey:

This is excellent for her last tournament before turning 18!! She really goes for it!!!

Congrats Ashley!!
