Doesn't seem to be a thread for this anywhere, so ... In this year's Winter edition, the "news story" seems to be Team Surrey, which is playing in division 2A and beat its opponents by 9-0. Not surprising, given that its team includes Mel South, Stephanie Cornish, Vicky Brook, Jasmine Ambe...
Emily, Dasha, Katie, Manisha and Jessica should all be in the main draw here, with Em likely to be the top seed. FQR: Dominique Covington UNR v Alessia Piran (ITA) UNR or Ekaterina Lavrikova (RUS) UNR

Queens and Halle are both going to be 500 events from 2015 when the extra week on grass comes into effect. Wimbledon moves back a week from 2015 onwards and that created 'space' to alter the calendar of events on grass. Stuttgart, converted from clay to grass ready for 2015, will be an ATP250 played in th...

Emily Smith's success in Israel has resulted in her becoming top seed for the third event, but Mason Recci's luck remains out - he has drawn the top seed in round 1 or 2 every time. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Olexei Kolisnyk (UKR) v Mason Recci (GBR) Girls R1 (L32) (1) Emily Smith (GBR) v Sarah Sarjoo (RSA)
Darren's popped up again here & has what, on the face of it, seems a decent first-round draw, not to mention a half-way decent partner (Bader is currently unranked in singles): R1: Guillermo Olaso & Walter Trusendi (ESP/ITA) CR 676 (256+419) vs Sebastian Bader (AUT) & Darren Walsh CR 6...
Shamael Chaudhry has claimed three titles in the last fortnight in the Middle East, and has moved to Bangladesh for a couple of tournaments, where he is one win away from another title (he lost in the semis in doubles) R2 (L32) (1) Shamael Chaudhry (GBR) d. Christian Cummings (IND) 6-2 6-2 R3 (1) Shamae...
A relatively full qualifying draw here but not a single ranked player. Amanda Carreras was a relatively late withdrawal from the main draw. QR1: Natalie Syme UNR v Elke Tiel (NED) UNR Tiel may be unranked but has enough wins in 10K qualies to suggest this won't be easy.
I've questioned a few tournament choices of some of the juniors and new pros in the past - for example the clay court tour of the US by a few of the boys/men earlier this year, where every $10k required 4 rounds of qualifiers. I've also wondered why our men seem to play so few Challengers. So I thought I'd ta...
