Anna Brogan has dropped back to a G4 as she continues to rebuild following a lengthy absence last year.

A second chance for Katie Boulter and Freya Christie to win a G1 title, but in a stronger field headed by Shilin Xu (WTA 553/JWR 9 ), who beat Jo Konta earlier in the season. It's a 48 draw, which helps our boys avoid seeds unlike last week. Boys R1 (L64) Andrew Li Hei Yin (HKG) v Lewis Roskilly (GBR) Rhett Pu...
