Just running through the pre Wimbledon events, I missed the fact that there is now a new ladies WTA $100k event at Southsea the week before Wimbledon, presumably against Eastbourne? We now seem to have: wk1 (last week of RG) - ATP Challenger Surbiton mens and ITF womens Surbiton wk 2 - WTA Nottingham O...
so about time we discussed our annual topic. This season will really be tough, as we have such limited amount of players in the 100-250 area. I also will presume, Murray, Evo and Edmund require no wc Queens, MD WC- Bedene (if needed) and Norrie QWC to Klien, Glasspool and Clarke Eastbourne MD WC Beden...

With Johanna Konta having been pipped at the very last moment for the 8th berth at the WTA Finals last year, hopes are high that she'll make the cut this year (and maybe with plenty to spare ) Jo made a superb start to her new campaign to be 1st on the Road to Singapore after lifting the Sydney Premier title...

Only just read this so sorry if already known. When Wimbledon goes back a week in 2015, allowing for 3 weeks between French and Wimbledon, the Mercedes Cup has been accepted in a request to switch from clay to grass. It will be the first week of the three, followed by Halle I believe, so Germany will have...

Looking to do a repeat of last week's stranglehold on both girls' and boys' titles, the GB contingent are out in full again. In qualis, Harry Thursfield failed to get through. In the boys' main draw, and playing today, there's Euan Lynes and Joseph White. With Byes through to R2, there's George Loffha...
Usually the COSAT Circuit climaxes in March but this year there is a reduced schedule of just G1 events leading up to the GA in Brazil, so there are just 3 events left starting with this G1.

The Spanish-based Brits are here, namely Ryan Gaskin and Alex Parker. In the girls, youngsters Holly Staff and Indy Spink are carrying British hopes. For 'family followers', Brian Bencic, the younger brother of Belinda Bencic, is also playing.
