The main draw entry list has been announced. As noted by seagull in the weekly entries thread, there are not Brits on it. It will be interesting to see who is awarded...
It's the quiet time of the year to try and predict the GB top 10 WTA ranked players. Should be a bigger choice than the men as we already have quite a few WTA ranked. Not sure how the WTA/ITF split will impact.

Just out of interest now that we have all cast or not cast our votes. The more interesting and relevant re us as a group, the more that respond - anonymously of course unless you choose to say.

Putting aside the politics of the place and the rights and wrongs, it is clearly part of a push from Saudi Arabia to win over public opinion through top class sport; the Joshua v Ruiz W...
