After saying that Josh had tweeted about going to Doha in week 1, is see he (as well as Cox and Bloomers) are down for the British Tour the same week. It seems he may avoid the trip and, the carpet would suit him more in Germany and as Fitzy said, the level of entrants for the 3 x British 15k's may be higher than usual. Until these draws are made, I guess we can but guess!
I am going to be in Glasgow for Week 2 of the season and should get to the tourney there, any links or info gratefully accepted early here, my web access may be limited once there.
It would be great to see the Glasgow lineup as strong as it looks now. Alas, I suspect it will be much weakened by the time it starts.
S&V http://www.itftennis.com/womens/tournaments/tournamentoverview.asp?tournament=1100025987 will give you the info as regareds the womens tourney. Are you going to be there for the entire tournament? I will get through as much as I can for it (Im in Edinburgh)
Im originally from Glasgow and I am back for a visit, have some clearing out of my mothers house to do so my exact schedule is tough to predict. I would expect I will go 2-3 days. Thanks for the link that helped a lot.
