An evening in Edinburgh ... Do my shopping at the local Sainsburys a couple of miles away. Get on direct bus home. Realise I have left my phone on bench. Stop bus at lights and walk back and collect phone. Next bus in an hour and pissing down. What next? Ahh, bus due soon at nearby stop and I can get connecti...

She is number 1 seed for this event by the way. Daisy Clifford lost in the first round...

The South American (COSAT) swing of top grade tournaments moves on to clay, culminating with a J500 (Grade A) event in Brazil in March. Most of the British squad has returned home, but Oliver Bonding has entered one further tournament in Peru. Transitioning to clay so quickly after the Colombian h...
This year there is just one Brit in the leading under 14 event by direct acceptance, but Georgiana Mititelu is joined by wildcard Hannah Klugman (welcomed by the organisers here ) while Mark Ceban and Liam Channon have come through qualifying. Hannah is fifth on the streamed court 2 tomorrow. Str...

The hard court section of the Latin American swing ends this week in Colombia with 48 player draws, so only Ellie Blackford and Daniela Piani needed to go through qualifying, both successful.

Hannah Klugman plays her 11th ITF tournament since her 13th birthday. That is slightly puzzling, as the rules only allow 10 for 13 year olds, but I guess that Wimbledon is not counted against her allocation, because of the lack of points. She is joined by Viktor Frydrych, Freddy Blaydes and Luke Hoop...
