I had a look at the rankings just now and noticed that both Ansley Cargill (#94) and Lubomira Kurhajcova (#112) each have 36 tournaments next to their name :eek:

This seems like an awful lot of tournaments played for top 120 players! They have the highest amount of events played out of the current top 200 players, with Maria Geznenge (34) and Alina Jidkova (33) and anyone else I've missed, behind them.

Anyway, does anyone know who has the most amount of tournaments played out of all ranked players? Is it still Keiko Tameishi, who I think had around 40 last year? Not necessary information I know, but just thought I'd ask...

I know players can play as much as they like, and some desperately need an income (i.e. Mireille Dittmann, who always has between 30-35 events to her name), but anything over 35, particularly for a top 120 player, just seems like way too much :confused:

I thought I'd throw this topic in here...might get a better response.

Meghann Shaughnessy used to play 35-40 tournaments a year for her first 3-4 years on the tour. I used to think she was stupid and playing to much, but then suddenly her ranking sky rocketed from outside the top 130!

A lot can be said for gaining a lot of experience early on in your career and if your not carving up the tour the only way to get the experience is from a lot of tournaments.

Kelly Liggan used to play around the same, I think i can recall her playing up to around 36-38 :o

Ansley goes out in the first round alot so its not like she has played that much tennis. Also, its easier for you to play that many events when someone else is supplementing the cost and you are mostly travelling in the US.
