The last open event on the 2008 WTA Tour sees Sarah Borwell in qualifying, though her main interest will be in the doubles, where she needs a very good week to close on the top 100.

While most British interest in Luxemburg will centre on Laura Robson's WTA Tour debut, courtesy of a wildcard (it is also possible that Anne Keothavong made the main draw at the last minute - she withdrew from Poitiers yesterday), there is also a Brit in the qualifying tournament: QR1: (4) Johan...

Nicola Slater, needing just one more point to get a much deserved ranking, is a DA here in this weak 10k, but has drawn the 4th seed. Still it's a winnable match for Nic who is by far our best unranked player. L32: Nicola Slater UNR v (4) Tomoko Dokei WR 659 (CH 360 in Nov 04)
