I'm not sure what alchemy is used to award the Asia-Pacific wildcard at the Australian Open, but I sure hope it goes to Mananchaya Sawangkaew.

“Coming into the Asia swing, I was ranked 155 and wasn’t sure what was going to happen for next year. I was hoping maybe I’d win the wild card playoff, which luckily I don’t have to do that. Now I’m back in the Top 100….”

Meanwhile, in Tyler, Texas, 24-year old Zarazua added another nice result to what has been a career year. The top ranked Mexican has already played in the MD of all four majors for the first time and become the first woman from Mexico to crack the Top 100 since Angelica Gavaldon in 1996. After reaching a $100K challenger in August (a loss), Zarazua reversed that result this week, defeating teen Bannerette Iva Jovic 6-4/6-2 to claim her second-biggest career title, behind only her WTA 125 crown won last December, and lift her ranking from one career high (#71) to a another career high (#62).
