Monique is having a stagnant year...it's always hard to follow on from a successful year though, and last year was relatively successful for her in terms of returning from an injury to the top 300.
Let's hope she can pick things up. She has the ability to be ranked much higher than 320 or whatever she is.
She should have been playing in these Asian events though. Perhaps taken a break after Fukuoka, and returned in one of the 25K's a few weeks back.
coming back from the states, then going to japan for 3 weeks (straight from us), she had done 9 weeks straight. shes at home training and heading to the states this week or the next.
Next events:
Jul. 19 Oyster Bay 50K
Jul. 26 Lexington 50K
Aug. 2 Louisville 50K
Aug. 16 Bronx 50K
Good performances in these events will give her a good bosst up the rankings and maybe get her into qualies at the asian wta events after the us open if she plays well
If Monique and Casey do good there then anything is possible and hopefully they can both get there ranking up 50 places or so which is like 5 or 6 wins over
The gal has the goods, whether she can ever get some point construction happening, will determine if she can rise from 350's to inside the top 200 (which she is more than capable).
But losing close matches to Ferguson yesterday, a tiebreak to Erakovic the week b4 and that marathon against Ambrovic at the Aus Open quallies, is something she needs to turn around.
