It's great to see most of our top 10 playing in WTAs, AO Q or 25Ks this week, but why on earth are only two of our top 25 (i.e. just two of 15 players in the GB 11-25 range) playing in the first home ITF event of the year?!  (Tara Moore is in China of course, Sarah Borwell concentrating on doubles and Wobbly injured as far as I know, so we'll let them off!)

Anna Fitzpatrick has more or less given up as she has a foot disability. Great shame as she seemed a real contender.

If you got that from her twitter account it was a fake, this is her real one http://twitter.com/TennisFITZY and she sounds upbeat about coming back in February for Sutton.
