There seems to be alot of retirements - remember last year we also had the retirement of Miriam Oremans, Susanne Trik and Yvette Basting. Now Amanda Hopmans and Silvana Bauer! At least 5 players in 2 years!
Plus quite a few more who just haven't played this year. But there are a few more +'s than I thought there would be. Although alot of them are quite meaningless so to say. While moving up 63 places is good, it doesn't seem so good when you are still only ranked 980 in the world, for example. Not to try and diss their achievement, but I mean Elise has done brilliantly, Michelle has also done OK. Seda's having a good year and Tessy started out well, but it's gone bad at the moment - so many 1st round losses!
I think it will be lucky to finish the year with 2 Dutch players inside the top 200 - and still no one looking like making the top 100 this year! Maybe Elise will in the next couple of years, but other than her I don't see much hope. 
Bring on Michaela! Dutch tennis needs another great player!
