Melbourne VIC, Australia, 22 May 2018 | tennis.com.au

Victorian teen Jaimee Fourlis is edging closer to a top 200 debut after a semifinal run in Saint-Gaudens last week.

The 18-year-old’s performance in the ITF $60K tournament in France meant she had to withdraw from Tennis Australia’s French Open wildcard play-off, but she has been rewarded with a jump of 13 ranking places to a new career-high of No.211.

Abbie Myers also set a new career-best, rising 96 places to No.336. The 23-year-old from New South Wales continued her sensational return to the sport, reaching the biggest final yet of her career at an ITF $60K event in Kurume, Japan. As a qualifier she won seven matches, including an upset of world No.128 Naomi Broady in the semifinals. She lost the final to Japan’s Ayano Shimizu 6-3 7-5.

Tammi Patterson also improved her ranking 16 spots, up to No.326, with a quarterfinal run in Kurume.

In doubles, three Australian women set new career-bests after winning titles last week.

Ashleigh Barty rose to No.5 after winning Rome alongside Dutch partner Demi Schuurs and Jessica Moore improved 13 places to a new career-best of No.80 after teaming with Kazakhstan’s Galina Voskoboeva to win the ITF 100K title in Trnava, Slovakia. Naiktha Bains jumped 25 spots to No.153 after winning the Saint-Gaudens title alongside American Francesca Di Lorenzo.
