Robin Anderson

I think winning NIIC may be pretty important rank-wise, since all players are usually highly ranked

#5 Zsofi Susanyi
#8 Sabrina Santamaria
#12 Kate Turvy
#15 Natalie Beazant
#18 Brynn Boren
#22 Anett Schutting
#90 Julia Wais

Except Sabs and Julia, others are all NIIC wins, and even though she didn't play WAATC, she has 7 wins against ranked opponents (And all pretty highly ranked ones, at that!)

[fantic]

Another player who went deep in all 3 is Alexa Guarachi.

Won the Regional, and although she lost first matches at WAATC and NIIC, went deep in the Consolation draws, hence a lot of wins against ranked opponents

#52 Petra Januskova
#55 Caroline Rohde-Moe (twice)
#66 Patricia Veresova
#76 Samantha Adams
#77 Li Xi
#96 Nicole Bartnik
#116 Julia Jones

[fantic]

By the way the only undefeated player is Robin Anderson, who is on a 11 match winning streak (6 Regional + 5 NIIC)

[fantic]

Yana Koroleva is definitely the player to watch out for;
Her loss to ranked opponents are all in 3 sets

10/21/2012 2012 USTA/ITA Division I Carolina Regional Championships Semifinals #35 Hanna Mar #3 Duke University Loss 6-4, 4-6, 6-3
10/20/2012 2012 USTA/ITA Division I Carolina Regional Championships Quarterfinals #44 Mary Clayton #3 Duke University Win 7-5, 6-1
10/20/2012 2012 USTA/ITA Division I Carolina Regional Championships Round of 16 #24 Lauren McHale #8 North Carolina Win 6-4, 3-6, 6-3
10/20/2012 2012 USTA/ITA Division I Carolina Regional Championships Round of 32 Bryn Khoury Elon University Win 6-0, 6-2
10/19/2012 2012 USTA/ITA Division I Carolina Regional Championships Round of 64 Yvonne Hubler Charleston Southern University Win 6-2, 6-1
9/23/2012 Furman Fall Classic Consolation #18 Brynn Boren #24 University of Tennessee Win 6-2, 6-3
9/22/2012 Furman Fall Classic Consolation #26 Zoe De Bruycker #8 North Carolina Loss 5-7, 6-1, 6-4
9/21/2012 Furman Fall Classic Quarterfinals #10 Mary Anne Macfarlane #11 University of Alabama Loss 2-6, 7-6(3), 6-3

Niedermayerova too, for that matter. WAATC Quarterfinalist, won the Regional, advanced to NIIC Cons. semifinal.

Now I'm not sure

Dunno what the ranking of Gibbs and Capra will be.
Aside from that, the only top 10 player who underperformed is #9 Bektas. #10 Macfarlane had 5 wins against ranked opponents(3 of them top 20), not a bad result.

And Lao is #11, who is WAATC Semi finalist, and def. #4 Sanchez-Quintanar at NIIC.

Gibbs and Capra will be unranked because they will have no matches on the computer [well, Gibbs will have 1, but 1 unranked win is not nearly enough to earn a ranking].

Without considering schools that neglect to upload their scores, etc., I expect the initial singles ranking to look something like this:

1) Anderson [UCLA]
2) Sanchez-Quintanar [TAMU]
3) Oyen [FLA]
4) Susanyi [CAL]
5) Embree [FLA]
6) Schutting [CAL]
7) Elbaba [UVA]
8) Hardebeck [STAN]
9) Macfarlane [ALA]
10) Mar [DUKE]
11) Herring [UGA]
12) Suarez-Malaguti [UNC]
13) Niedermayerova [KAN ST]
14) Lao [USC]
15) Santamaria [USC]
16) Scandalis [USC]
17) Burgic [BAY]
18) Josifoska [UNLV]
19) Guarachi [ALA]
20) Kowase [UGA]
21) Tere-Apisah [GA ST]
22) D. Collins [FLA]
23) Price [UNC]
24) Boren [TENN]
25) Szekely [TENN]

The freshman will be somewhat under-ranked in general because the rankings are spun twice the first week. Expect them to move back up (Elbaba and Hardebeck into the top 5, in particular) in the 2nd ranking release of the spring.

[fantic]

thx for the detailed prediction.

But are you saying that Boren's ranking will actually go DOWN from #18? I find that hard to believe..

I'm not sure that Gina and Josifoska will be ranked that high..

[CTSEMT]

Boren has lost 7 times, most of anyone in the top 125 I think, including 0-3 in her first tournament of the year and an unranked loss to Dieters. That will weigh her ranking down. Plus I think she will also be hurt by the double spin (specifically the placement of Zoe Scandalis after the first spin) and will probably go up a bit the following week.

Also keep in mind that only the top 5 best wins (4 for doubles) are considered in the initial rankings.

[fantic]

^ thx for the explanation.

[Embittered]

Rankings are up.

Pretty accurate
I should just shut up

[iPatty]

Oyen? The ITA is never gonna get it right.

[fantic]
