Of the three events in the Challenger Circuit, Surbiton has strongest initial entry, 10 top 100 cut off 133. Nottingham has 2 top 100, cut off in the 170's; Ilkley looks like a stronger field than Nottingham but not a Brit in sight - WC's presumably once we see how Queens Qualies has shaped up?
There are 6 players in all 3 Trophy entry lists, taking the grass seriously obviously: Copil, Duckworth, Marchenko, Bhambri, Kravchuk, Polansky. Perhaps one of these will get as far as winning one of the weeks and get a WC for Wimbledon? Copil is of course already directly into Wimldeon and may well be someone to watch over the grass season.
