Not sure why Aljaz is not entered in anything this week. He is playing on clay in Week 37 in Bosnia so presumably is transitioning back from hard courts for a run on the dirt at challenger level. Does not make any sense to do it for just one event though and looking at the ATP events for the coming weeks he is not entered anywhere so it's a little puzzling.
ITF entry lists just starting to show
Nottingham $10k - Dunne, Christie, Boulter, Whybourn (Appleton, Lumsden, Foster, Stevenson, Grey) ALTS - Drew, Deigman, Hurst, Silva, Brown, Bamburac and 60 others !
No sign of Eleanor Dean though
I suspect quite a few of the girls mentioned above will withdraw. Freya, Katie and Lisa are in the US. Katy as I thought is down for Aus 25k.
Eleanor is only just coming back from long term injury and playing a couple of weeks in Azores, so will probably need a break.
Anyone any idea what has happened to Sam Murray? I thought she would be on the list.
Yes, quite a few of those who are within the MD/Q cut off are still showing in several events, but at least there is plenty of interest. Haven't seen Sam Murray on any entry lists (or withdrawels) for this particular week.
Good to see Manisha Foster on the Nottingham list. She's not been seen at ITFs for a few months
She has withdrawn, along side a whole host of other GB players - most as expected. Still waiting for Katie B and Lisa W to withdraw, although Alberquerque is loaded and they won't get in, so may travel back unless they are planning to play Las Vegas. Seems a bit daft going out to USA for one week....

Lisa and Katie B have indeed withdrawn. List currently shows 4 in the main draw, and 22 out of 26 in qualifying, with a whole string of alts.
ITF updated - Maia withdrew from Nottingham in what is a real weak event. unranked players will make the main draw. Eleanor Dean may get a wildcard if she wants one otherwise it will go to some of the better juniors.
8 GB players in the main draw, 4 wildcards plus likely 7 or 8 qualifers given the qualifying list is virtually all GB. Should be some easily points for some GB players and a chance to move up the rankings a little.
