Chinese WGM Ju Wenjun scored 7/9 in Dubai Open, registering an impressive 2683 performance and finishing ahead of many strong GMs. Here is the final top-10:

1   GM Rakhmanov Aleksandr RUS 2591  7.5  55.5
2   GM Volkov Sergey RUS 2593  7.0  54.5
3   WGM Ju Wenjun CHN 2521  7.0  54.5

9   GM Sokolov Ivan NED 2643  7.0  49.5
10   GM Akopian Vladimir ARM 2704  6.5  56.5

According to the FIDE website, this is her fourth GM norm, so it is not clear why the talented WGM hasn't applied for GM yet.
