The COSAT circuit climaxes with this Grade A event. Harriet Dart is in a nightmare section, starting with a girl ranked 618 WTA, with last week's conqueror Tornado Black the likely opponent for the winner. For Jazzi Plews there is the opportunity to break her duck this year, with a good draw against th...

Katie Boulter and Isabelle Wallace are both seeded but likely to face very tough opening matches. Katie will probably face Ellen Perez, who beat her last week en route to the title, whilst Izzy could well face fast-rising Aussie Sara Tomic (Bernard's sister) who beat Izzy's conqueror before losing...
