The BIG event of this week is that young Hannah Klugman was voted May's Player of the Month (Joint), along with Cameron Norrie, top 50 in the world.

This will be only the second Grand Slam of the year, and therefore has attracted a few players who might have otherwise given it a miss. Four girls could in theory enter with their WTA ranking (top 400), and two of these have done so (Daria Lopatetska and Emma Raducany - Coco Gauff and Clara Tauson being...

This event is listed as outdoor, unlike last week's indoor. Many of the same players, obviously.

Also, Lois Newberry, also 2007, who has beaten the third seed, Lucy Webber, al...
