No what it is , is Gb women have been pretty abysmal this year. One or two good wins here and there, but after so much promise last year absolutely crap this year so far. We also now need to look beyond Bally and Anne K.

 I agree, I was really exited at the end of last year. Anne had a great run towards the end, and now nothing in comparrison .

I don't get it, I know that there are injuries, but it seems to be the mentality that's changed.

You could be right there. I have followed tennis since the early seventies and it really has always been the same. I remember both a reporter and a commentator at Wimbledon saying that no matter who plays a british girl however low theranking of the opponent is they go on court knowing they have a pretty good chance of winning.
