The draw now shows Ghioroaie with a BYE in the Q1. Did Ankita make the main draw?

Re: Ankita Raina thread
Ankita gets a top 100 player in first round.
At Transylvania Open WTA 250, CLUJ-NAPOCA, ROMANIA (Hard)
[R1] Ankita Raina (IND,198) vs. (8) Jodie Burrage (GBR,91)
Ankita lost a very close one in third set tie break against Burrage in July in Poland WTA in July. Hope she turns around that result here.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
She once peaked at ranking of 250-300. Now she has peaked at 150-200. She may challenge someone ranked 125. Above that is clearly not her forte.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
Wow. Broken every service game.
The opponent lost her own serve twice which gave her 2 games.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
I suspect that she may have some physical issue bothering her. She would not lose that cheaply, otherwise. The opponent could have played at a very high level but Ankita is experienced enough to find some chinks in the armor and put up a fight usually.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
I don’t agree with that although that seems to be the initial reaction on this forum when an Indian player loses. I watched the first set and Jodie was inspired to put on a good show in front of her BJK cup captain Anne Keothavong watching from the sidelines. Jodie played well, and Ankita succumbed.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
Ankita will be in Australia next couple weeks playing in 2 W60 tournaments. Next week, she will be one of the top-4 seeds in the singles draw at W60 Brisbane. Prarthana is also in the entry list partnering Jessy Rompies.

Re: Ankita Raina thread
^^^ Yes, should be ok. Only 18 points to defend ( next week) till the AO qualies cut off date i.e 18th December. So, at worse she will fall to 210 -215 which is quite safe for AO qualies. She has 36 points to defend from 2 Indian W25's in December last year but they fall off after the cut off date. And hopefully, she will earn some points in next 4 weeks too.
Dont know if she is carrying some injury or something but has played only 2 tournaments post Asian games and lost badly in first round of both.
