Italy looking good. the next centre of tennis in Europe, discuss?!
I did read that lots of home lower value pro tournaments had helped to push their players on.
As has been argued in this forum, may very well make sense as at least a part of it, in create the numbers ( and incentives in feeling a part of things ) and more will probably in time come through at the top level.
GB live #10 to 13 very much on the move and tightening up with Gabi, Naomi, Fran and Sam.
Gabi is still live #10 for 17/06, although Fran is now provisionally ahead for the following week and into the Belarus 25K SF after last week's title. Plus more points to come from the winner of the Naomi vs Sam Manchester 100K QF.
Our top 13 average must certainly be in for a big rise
10. Gabi 126 ( reached L16 ) 11. Naomi 119 ( reached QF ) 12. Sam 116 ( including 56 so far for Q + SF ) 13. Fran 110 ( plus net 17 so far for the following week )
10. Gabi 126 ( reached L16 ) 11. Naomi 119 ( reached QF ) 12. Sam 116 ( including 56 so far for Q + SF ) 13. Fran 110 ( plus net 17 so far for the following week )
WTA update - latest OER figures show GBR up 2 places to 12.

It will up to the results at Birmingham and IIlkley as to whether we can keep them (also Fran).

Sterling week this week for some of the women, well done if they achieve this. the men below top 10 have also done quite well, Draper, Peniston, Jubb etc over the past couple of weeks and as Alex Ward drops it will be good to see them replace him in the listings
