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...

Johanna Konta has so far had a fruitless series of Challenger qualifiers in North America. She has moved on to Augusta, and we are at least assured of a 'Brit' in final qualifying: (7)Mary Gambale (USA) v Alexandra Anghelescu (USA) (11)Johanna Konta (AUS) v Margot Carter (GBR)

Anne Keothavong withdrew on Friday, leaving Elena Baltacha as the sole Brit in this strong Challenger event. She faces top 100 player Lucie Safarova, who blows hot (very hot at times - beating Kuznetsova and Henin back-to-back in Paris indoors) and cold, having a lot of power which she finds difficu...

I don't think she's played since the US open. If i were to be my house on a british girl being ranked 75 in october of this year it would have been Naomi. But instead shes fallen down to 260. I know she's had a few problems with her ankle and this 'personal problem' that shes been having. Is she injured again o...

Melanie South and Naomi Broady again make the cut for the second of this month's 25Ks down under. Elizabeth Thomas, Emily Webley-Smith, Jocelyn Rae and Sophie Proctor feature in qualifying.

Katie O'Brien is the sole Brit in a fairly strong qualifying draw. She starts against an opponent who beat her earlier in the year in Dubai: (1) Ekaterina Makarova RUS v Dominika Nociarova SVK Eva Hrdinova (CZE) v Katie O'Brien (GBR) Elena Vesnina (RUS) v Nina Bratchikova (RUS) Kathrin Woerle (GER) v...

This ITF event is so strong that Anne Keothavong, the only Brit playing singles here, is unseeded. Her first round draw is one of the best available.

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)

This is Georgie Stoop's final event in the US for the time being, and it will be hard for her after Troy, in combination with all the matches she has played in the last 3 weeks. Georgie should be in the main draw, while doubles specialist Margot Carter is in qualifying: Lindsay LEE-WATERS (USA) (1) BYE Ma...

Elena Baltacha and Katie O'Brien should be seeded here, and Amanda Elliot is also a DA.
