Kim Birrell is hitting uncharted territory as a potential new flagbearer for Australian women's tennis as she pulled off a fabulous comeback triumph to reach the quarter-finals of the Singapore Open.
Currently ranked No.95 in the world -- the only Aussie woman in the game's top-100 -- Birrell is guaranteed to soar to a career-high ranking next week of at least 85 next week and could rise to as high as the top-60 if she was to land her first WTA tournament triumph.
