Very good progress indeed for Ankita. That scoreline (61 64) against world #402 is very impressing and telling!

Ankita could not do much today against higher ranked player.

At $25K ITF Westende-Middelkerke, Belgium, Hard - Outdoor

[QF] Ankita Raina (IND,355) l. (6) Katerina VANKOVA (CZE,306) 26 06

After a long time seeing Ankita having such a one sided loss. Still,she will move close to 300 now & should bounce back soon considering the way she has been generally playing of late.

[Omkara]

One sided loss.... Still a good QF run. What impresses me most is consistency. All the best for future weeks

If Ankita is close to being ranked 300, is Katerina at 306 really higher ranked? Or is Katerina likely to move about 50 places up herself after these results?

[sameerph]

Katerina would surely move up a few places after this week. But, of course she is not ranked that higher than Ankita for her to be thrashed like that. Perhaps, it is one of those days as Ankita just beat 402nd ranked player 61 64 in the eariler round which does not quite translate into such a bad loss against player ranked 100 or so places higher.

[sameerph]

Ankita is now at a new career high of 311 , getting close to top 300. This week she is playing in Delhi futures & a title there should take her to top 300.

Go Ankita.
