As probably expected Laura has withdrawn from Clearwater today, looks like she may follow a similar path to last year starting at the backend of March/ start of April. Unless of course she takes a WC for either IW or Miami highly unlikely though you would have thought.
Evo, Goodall, Smethurst, A.Ward, Slabinsky and Willis make Tipton MD, George Morgan 6 out, Oli Golding playing here too. Milton will be seeded, and seed 8 likely to be decided from Bloomers, Evo, Goodall or Smetty unless a high Q/WC enters
Rice & Thornley make MD in Canada, Phillips makes MD in Portugal
i think it's just cause of the proximity with the DC tie. After the 2 Bath events he's said he's going back to the states for 2 futures and a challenger, so that'll be 5 straight weeks anyway so probably felt a break after the DC would be a good idea.
