I've been keeping track of the rankings of the top British women this year. Bally's ranking slumped a bit in the early part of the year, as she was playing on the main tour while she'd been playing Challengers last year, so she found it more difficult to win matches. She's done very well to pull up from that and end the year slightly higher than she began it.

Keothavong, Watson, Robson, Broady and Webley-Smith have all significantly improved their ranking this year, Moore has basically been flatlining, while South, Fitzpatrick and Whybourn have all lost ground.

O' Brien and Cavaday have both retired, otherwise O' Brien would still be ranked high enough to make this list




Ranking gain / loss since the start of the year:

Baltacha: 5
Keothavong: 48
Watson: 84
Robson: 86
Broady: 87
Webley-Smith: 149
South: -39
Moore: 18
Fitzpatrick: -24
Whybourn: -112

Looking at the chart, Robson and Webley-Smith have made some significant gains this year! Can't wait to see what next year brings, especially for the rising stars like Sam Murray. Our top 3 girls have clearly distanced themselves from the rest.

Nice job on the chart!!!:yeah:

Robson isn't far off now, but up until the US Open, there was quite a bit of distance. Here's hoping she can qualify at Oz and close that gap right down. And then she'll turn 18 and be able to play a full schedule for the rest of the year.

I'm going to try to keep this up next year, and probably track some of the <20 y.o. players ranked a bit lower too. Though I may not include them all in the chart - it's already slightly spaghetti junction-ish.

@pesto and Joe:
Well, yes it seems that the Brits are becoming better and better. The 1rst round of Wimbeldon (and even the 2nd yet for Heather) confirms that good form!
the rising of the yound guns (Robson, Watson) will motivate the Leader (Keothavong, Baltacha) to keep the head of the ranking!
