Emily Appleton strengthens the field here, with Fran Jones the next highest ranked at 40 (overtaking the number 2 seed today).

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...

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.

In the boys' main draw, and playing today, there's Euan Lynes and Joseph White. With Byes through to R2, there's George Loffha...
