Rather frustratingly, I was offered hospitality tickets for Wednesday of next week by a friend (at Ilkley) last week...but I have to work in London all week so can't make it at all. Aaggh.
Was surprised Liam went for Ilkley over Queens, but given his recent form & the fact he's probably guaranteed Eastbourne & Wimble wildcards it looks the much more advisable choice. Probably the better choice for Jay too for same reasons
I didn't see her on the Ilkley list so thought she might have a WC, Portugal was down as her first choice, but I don't know when they have to decide their choices.
The Portugal 15k acceptance list now has no Brits in the MD, but it does have 5 currently listed in qualifying, including right down at the bottom in position #42 Emilie Lind Gallagher, who still needs just the one more counter to add to her existing 2 counters and 6 pts to achieve a WTA ranking. I hope she does play this week, the field looks an opportunity for her.
