Felicity Maltby is at Texas Tech.  Plays at 6 behind Sabrina Federici who's at 5.  Probably better than UNR suggests but unlikely to be a threat to Miss Boulter.  BTW, does anyone know exactly what kept her out for a year?  I thought it was a back injury but now understand there was significant illness involved as well but no-one seems to have the details...

Well given what happened in Katie's last match. Good to see her get a win.

She definitely injured her back whilst playing on the clay in USA back at the start of the year, but not aware of anything else.

The back injury was publicly stated at the time.

But several newspaper articles have also mentioned illness and I wasn't sure exactly to what they were referring. i.e.

www.leicestermercury.co.uk/leicestershire-tennis-star-katie-boulter-s/story-29369669-detail/story.html

http://www.loughboroughecho.net/sport/other-sport/international-tennis-action-in-loughborough-10346467

But there's obviously been more to it than just the back.

(The Loughborough Echo, in fact, only talks about illness, not about injury at all)
