Not sure if Dan and Ed will play US challengers, time will tell...
This Korea trip will end with a couple of challengers it looks like.
But they (and Gabb) really have got their schedules spot on this year so far (so many other brits should have done the same). They've given themselves chances to pick up points at both 10K's and now 15K's whilst mixing in challengers at the end of the trips which is just what is needed.
Dan has withdrawn from Korea so perhaps he's decided against the Asian swing maybe to concentrate on clay. Maybe a sign in for Bournemouth and Edinburgh as its likely with his ranking he might be able to scrape into French Open Qualies.

I hope to get to some of the Edinburgh 10K, though it would help if they could delay things each day, as I am otherwise engaged on the Monday to Friday mornings.
The women's entry list at Egypt makes me smile - do you think the GB girls should get a discount? Like a frequent flyer thing? Enter two players, get one free. Frankly, 10 payers in one foreign tournament - it's just great!
(Special good luck to Aimee Gibson who's 'on the edge' of ITF tennis but there or there abouts and gone out for 3 weeks, so who knows . . . And Savannah Sills, who I liked watching when I saw her - I think she's off to the US (maybe someone will correct me) - but fun to watch).
Must be frustrating for Heather. I do hope that she didn't significantly lengthen her recovery time by playing on, serving underarm etc, in her last match.

Apparently Hev is back in training and targetting week 19 comeback
