Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
She is playing another tournament ($25K) in France this week, with a Turkish partner. They are seeded second.
Prarthana is still shown as ranked 210. She won a tournament in Sharm el-Sheikh last year in the same week (actually 2 titles and one runner-up finish in 3 successive weeks in June last year), so perhaps her points didn't move up enough to push her into the top-200 despite last week's title.

Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
No. That is because 25K points are updated a week layer I'm WTA rankings. She will be in top 200 next Monday.

Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
As expected, Prarthna is now ranked inside top 200 at 190 in this week's WTA doubles rankings.
Last week she got knocked in the QF of a $25K challenger in France. I guess she may be playing another 25K challenger in France this week. (draws are not out yet.)

Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
PGT is in Europe playing a string of Challenger tourneys. She lost in R1 STB last week at the $100K Biarritz CH, France. This week she is the top seed at the $50K+H Saint-Malo CH (FRA). I like the way she selects her tournaments that awards a lot of ranking points and prize money for winners.
At the $50K+H Saint-Malo CH,FRA (CLAY)
[R1] [1] Prarthana G THOMBARE / Maryna ZANEVSKA (IND/UKR) BYE
Maryna is a good player at this level. Hoping for a promising showing from this team.

Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
The money at lower level WTA tour events in doubles appears really paltry. Ankita earned $1285 for winning one round of singles qualies which is more than what Prarthana will get if she wins a main draw round here.Omkara wrote:$480 if she loses, $960 / 60 pts if she wins. Win
At a similar level ATP event at Chengdu, Jeevan has got a similar chance to play a main tour event. A first round loss for Jeevan there will earn him $2170 which is almost 4 times the amount Prarthana gets if she loses in first round.

Re: Prarthana Thombare thread
It is hard to pay money for these matches when there is zero interest from the paying public and sponsors.
