Last year there was a strong British party for a quartet of Asian Grade 1 events. This time just Jessica Ren and Manisha Foster, who negotiated qualifying, are here for the first of these. Jennifer Ren should be completing a four continent schedule within 2 months by joining Jess later on, whilst Jame...
A problem with Elisha Gabb's entry for this tournament meant that she had to go into qualifying, and lost in the final round, so will have to hope for a Lucky Loser spot. The draw doesn't give me much optimism of British involvement beyond the first round. Lucy plays the world number 8 whilst Daneika onl...

I wondered what people here thought of how the DC players will respond after this loss. Jamie didn't play but, was part of the initial squad. James won a match but couldn't break serve in the 2nd tie. Dan's first match seemed a brave 5 setter, his 2nd the a disappointing one. How will they bounce back sa...

George Morgan will be looking to build on a fine week in Argentina, as the COSAT circuit moves to Paraguay. He is however in the same quarter as top seed Agustin Velotti, another of the four Argentinan musketeers in or around the top 10 last year.

Richard Gabb and Lewis Burton have been joined by James Hignett in the main draw, after a fine win over the number 2 seed in qualifying. Dan Cochrane and Toby Martin (and Manisha Foster in the girls) all lost in final qualifying. Lewis starts against Stakhovsky Jnr - a familiar opponent for Brits, who...

Our 1993 girls have struggled to make an impact this year - here is a chance for three of them to buck the trend, though the field here, and in Brazil (next two weeks) is strong.

The final week of the Bangladesh trilogy includes Amy Askew, hopefully recovered from whatever caused her withdrawal last week. Eden Silva again was granted a wildcard, which I would have thought she would have been better off refusing to gain useful experience of battling to qualify. Boys R1 (L64...
No sign of Golding (see the Knight's question on the Terrasa thread) or Inglot, though in Dom's case hopefully that means he scraped into the main draw. Four rounds of qualifying in both Spain and Portugal this week. QR1: Tom Farquharson UNR v Ruan Roelofse (RSA) WR 1174 QR1: Matthew Kinsler UNR v Adam...
