Katie SWAN (GBR) 256 vs Magdalena FRECH (POL) 236 CH = 115 02/07/2018 Katie back in US hard court action and not a seed this week after her ranking drop.

Anna Popescue was 2nd alt on the entry list and is playing with Miranda Poile (AUS) in the doubles, against the 3rd seeds first up, so assume she will appear in the singles MD too when it appears. Anna is another who will regain her ranking in two weeks time when the transition points are merged.

Not clear yet if she is playing this week and has reached the MD, or is having a week off having retired in the singles a couple of days ago (but won in the doubles thereafter). Joanna Garland was higher in the entry list and q2 s...

Typically seasonal tennis fan who watches during Wimbledon. Anyway I thought Id have a look at how far Dan was off being GB number 1 b...
OER led me to realise the MD for here had already been made. Em has was a high alt and has got in directly, but might have been better off getting the points for 1 or 2 q wins, as she's now drawn the top seed R32: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 510 vs Nao HIBINO (JPN) [1] 135 (CH:56 Jan 16) Doubles draw yet to com...
