She sure spends a lot of time in training blocks. Even with AER I doubt she will get close to her maximum. Doubt she will defend her titles next year too. Looks like just big tournaments + training blocks

On facebook, in response to the question "what's you next tournament/" she said she hoped to play US Open. Probably TA will ask a qualifying wc for her , not sure they will give her the reciprocal main draw wc.

She'd be mad not to play some of the challengers at home at the end of the year! She would clean up I reckon.

Last year qualifying cut off was 242(after withdrawls of course) she is not that far off. But still a long shot at this point, we will see

Ash will play $25K Redding, CA in the week of Sep 10th

Nice to see her back in action soon Could have cleaned up the Aussie 25ks though Probably would have just boosted her ranking and not much else, playing in the US will give her better experience against the players in her league.

She missed out on the US Qualies by 2 spots

Shame she couldnt get in, as was with Sam Groth who was the top alternate...

[Daniel.]

Yeah devastated she didn't get a crack in qualies.

Good move to play overseas ITF rather than burgle the aussies ones. It is much better for her development, beating aussies repeatedly & getting over-exaggerated praise from media & fans will do nothing- only the points would be good.

Stosur didn't make the top 10 by playing aussie $25k's year after year.

She is staying home and playing Aussies ITF . She withdrew from the ITF I mentioned above and her facebook posts hinted at her desire to stay home. I would have like to see her play more Europe/USA ITF

Well instead of Aussie $25k on 17th, she got JE into US $75k.

I'm really confused...

I am guessing she was planning to come to USA to play USO and those ITFs . But now decided to just stay home, we will have to wait and see

[Dani12]

Ashleigh's scheduling is usually so organised

That's what I thought too, but why didn't she just withdraw from all her planned tournaments at US?


Anyways she has played 3 senior tournaments, so has at least 9 left. AO is definite, I guess she will get WC into Brisbane and maybe Hobart again. If she defends her 3 ITF finals, this means she has 3 left to spend on tournaments before end of year.

[guichard]

Maybe she just doesn't feel the urgency to do it immediately, she only withdrew on Wednesday from $25 000 ITF



Hopefully this time she can manage a few wins in those WTA Australian tournaments

[guichard]

Now she is out of ITF $75 K

[5tatRacket]

Barty is through to the semis of $25,000 Esperance and is entered in $25,000 Margaret River next week.

[binky-GOAT]

If she gets to SF in her next 2 $25ks as well, she'll be ranked about 190.

Is that enough to get into QD for AO?
