Think there is a mistake in the Men's list. It says that there is a Futures taking place IN THE UK. Surely that can't be right ? #SarcasmOff #MoreFuturesPlease
I see that Dino has entered Pune so hopefully he will be recovered from whatever has caused him to withdraw from the American challenger swing he was signed up for. He has so much to defend this month that it would be a disaster if he missed out. On the plus side the field is basically what you would expect at a strong Futures event as it was in India last year and so winning the title might not be too big an ask.
Qualifying lists out for Basel and Vienna also and no sign of Evo or AB so Kedders and Willbomb will be our non Andy participants in Vienna. Kyle smartly entered qualifying but has to be in with a shout of making the MD from his position on the alts list.

Quite remarkable, what a great development, next stop we may get a challenger in the UK too ;)
C'mon guys the USA, particularly helpfully these days, and many other countries put on plenty futures and challengers. And international travel broadens your horizons and helps you grow in many ways.
And putting on actual tournaments for professional players can be quite diverting from other important tasks at the LTA.

Nearly all the ITF women's entry lists are out. Plenty of entries scattered around, but the one that will be of interest to many of you is Gabriella Taylor entered for the $10k in Heraklion, and in the main draw, currently no 10.
Well there's a little time to go yet, can't really tell until next week when the withdrawal deadlines come. Some interesting mixes of entries though - Mandy is entered in 5 different countries, as is Harriet Dart
Loughborough men is loaded with Brits in the main draw, sadly only Lisa and Maia look like making the main draw in the women's.
Sam Murray withdrew. Eleanor Dean is still on the alts list. It will be interesting to see who gets wildcards in both men's and women's events.
Some good juniors in the men's and women's and a few close to a final counter in the women's.
