Allegra Korpanec Davies is playing the third of 5 South American tournaments she is entered for, culminating in the Brazilian J500. The last 3 have slightly stronger fields, so she just misses out on a seeding position. If she wins her opener tomorrow she will face the third seed, an early winner. I...

Allegra Korpanec Davies will be looking to build on a successful week in Ecuador, and is joined by Freya Peet and Athina Schlepphorst, who negotiated qualifying. Athina's chances of claiming a first win above J100 level should be helped by drawing a wildcard yet to win a match on the ITF circuit R1 (L...

There is a big J500 event in Cairo next week sandwiched between two J300s in the region. Ben Gusic Wan has entered all three, seemingly looking to this swing as a chance to try and boost his ranking to enable him to take part in slams this year, as he has a lot of points to defend shortly.
