She confirmed it in a paper yesterday. In the junior events, Britain's original representation of six in fact turned out to be seven, sort of, with one of them playing under the Australian flag against her wishes. Johanna Konta, born in Sydney to Hungarian parents, is soon to be given British citizen...
Anne Keothavong starts a sequence of WTA Tour events in the lead-up to the US Open at the Bank of the West Classic.

After the nightmare injury situation in Australia earlier in the year, Emily is back playing some 10ks in USA.
R1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 792 Vs Chloe JONES (USA) UNR
Jones is a 1990 born player. This year she has failed to win more than one match on the tour and that was in qualifying. Hopefully t...
Sarah Borwell is player doubles here with an American partner Courtney Nagle. In their first round match they will play Melanie Klaffner (AUT) and Katarina Kachlikova (SVK). Interesting decision to play on clay, but I guess it's a chance to improve her doubles ranking and earn some more money. Mayb...
