Yes, but Karman has 30 points to defend this week ( in fact next week when this week's 25K points will be updated). So, even if she wins her next match, she will be around 215 in the rankings as on 23rd July. A title here can just about take her inside top 200.

Ankita too has 29 points to defend next week. So, based on results so far, she will be around 200 in the rankings, a title can take her inside 190.

So, if both Karman and Ankita can win titles this week both can be in top 200 in the rankings as on July 23. :D

So, these are their match-ups tomorrow.

At $25K ITF Women,Nothanburi,Thailand

[F] (2) Ankita RAINA (IND,214) vs. (4) Risa OZAKI (JPN,243)

Ozaki is a former top 70 player. She is not playing at that level now but had reached a 25K final last month. She lost to Karman in 3 sets in early June.


At $25K ITF Women, Tianjian

[SF] (3) Karman Kaur THANDI (IND,225) vs (1) Fangzhou LIU (CHN,153)

Much tougher opponent for Karman but whom Ankita had beaten in 3 sets in April this year.

Excellent work by Ankita to win a title here.

Karman's SF against the top seed has just started in China and Karman is serving at 1-2 in the first set.

Splendid 62 63 victory for Ankita in the final against a former world #70.

She will comfortably be back in the top-200 when these points are added on 23rd July.
Ankita should also take inspiration from her close losses to Evgeniya Rodina (who made R4 at Wimbledon) and Victoria Diatchenko (who beat Sharapova at Wimbledon). I really wish Ankita would play the US Open qualifiers rather than the Asian Games, but that seems too much to ask :-(

Pranjala serve has nothing in it. It's a nothing serve. She will not beat anybody in singles. It's a lollypop.

Too much non-stop tennis and travel for Ankita, perhaps? And the fact that her fellow-Indian players probably know her game -- strengths and weaknesses -- quite well.

In Doubles

Rutuja is having a field day :p .
After winning her singles against Ankita in the morning, she combines with Pranjala and wins her doubles QF over a local Thai pair.
Now the Doubles Semi Final match involving Rutuja & Pranjala against the Top seeds is scheduled for later in the day today (as per the OOP).
Three matches in a day seems to be a stretch. Hope it is moved to tomorrow.

[QF] Rutuja BHOSALE (IND) / Pranjala YADLAPALLI (IND) d. Chompoothip JUNDAKATE (THA) / Chanikam SILAKUL (THA) : 6-1, 6-3
[SF] Rutuja BHOSALE (IND) / Pranjala YADLAPALLI (IND) vs. (1) Jia-Qi KANG (CHN) / Peangtarn PLIPEUCH (THA)

I really hope, she will build on this win and go deep in this tournament ... Next, she is facing former top-150 Japanese player, Hiroko Kuwata.

Rutuja won her third match of the day partnering Pranjala ... In the semis, they scored a dominating win over the top-seed pair ... In the final, they r facing the 2nd seed Taipei pair.

At $25K ITF Women Tournament 2018, Nonthaburi, Thailand

[QF] Rutuja Bhosale (IND,396) vs (6) Hiroko Kuwata (JPN,291)

Doubles
[SF] Rutuja Bhosale (IND)/ Pranjala Yadlapalli (IND) bt (1) Jia-Qi Kang (CHN)/ Peangtarn Plipeuch (THA) 62 63

[F] Rutuja Bhosale (IND)/ Pranjala Yadlapalli (IND) vs (2) Pei Hsuan Chen (TPE)/ Fang-Hsien Wu (TPE)
