Britain's Heather Watson feels "a little bit hard done by" because of the effect not getting ranking points at Wimbledon last year has had on her.
Watson's career-best run to the fourth round of a Grand Slam would usually have propelled her up the rankings.
It would also have earned direct entry into other WTA tournaments, including majors. Instead, she has been competing on the second-tier ITF circuit.
"It just had a domino effect," she said after winning in Nottingham on Monday.
The women's WTA and men's ATP governing bodies did not award points in response to Wimbledon's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players because of the invasion of Ukraine.
