MOVER OF THE WEEK
Mover of the week honors go to Irina-Camelia Begu. She won an ITF tournament in Egypt over the weekend to give her some much-needed ranking points and more important, re-confirm her belief in her ability to win. When you have been losing more than winning, doubts creep in and you have to regain that confidence and belief that you can win tournaments. Unfortunately, that can only happen by winning and she has taken that first step by winning this smaller title.
In 2016, Begu was ranked as high as number twenty-two and like so many players, her ranking suffered as a result of injury and inconsistent level of play. Begu’s ranking just kept drifting down until she fell out of the top 100; however, at twenty-nine years old, the Romanian still has a few more years of quality tennis left and can potentially continue to climb back up the rankings. The question is whether or not she can compete at a consistently high enough level to challenge the crop of younger and more powerful players that currently are displacing the veterans?
