Entries Week 38 - 17/09/18

Madadman · Masters Series Champion

Random schedule from Billy playing the first of the British Futures and then off to Italy for a change of surface. At a venue that had an event the week before. However its the venue where Billy made camp for 6 weeks (?) earlier this season and there is another string of events this time. So Id assume he might be there for a while.

Gabi has now withdrawn from Cairns, so its still not clear what her post US Open schedule is. Similarly Katie S from Lubbock.

Some current entries:
Australia 25k: (Burrage, Christie)
USA 25k: Broady (Moore). Nell Miller is also an Alt here. She must be at college in the US - she hasn't played virtually since gaining her ranking earlier in the year.
Portugal 25k: (Grey, Murray, Webley-Smith, Barnett, Raducanu)
Italy 25k: (Alts: Arbuthnott, Carreras, William, Gillan). All might get in, Emily and Mandy definitely will.
France 60k+H: (Alts: Ella Taylor, Carreras) Both might get in here, meaning Mandy will likely have to make a choice.

I haven't looked lower down yet, but interesting the updates to our ranked players here, with likely a fuller schedule of people playing again. smile

I just updated my own spreadsheet for all the ITF entries for this week. 34 entries from 30 players in total. 2 in MD, 13 in Q and 19 alts. After any late withdrawals there should be quite a few playing this week - maybe as many as 20.

goldfish · Futures qualifying

A Ward announced his retirement from tennis - was it immediate or is he finishing the season?

Oh, I see now that Gabi is entered for the 60k in Darwin the following week, with Katy Dunne also currently being in the MD.

There are 8 ranked players in the alt list for Darwin as well - coach party this autumn ?

JonH · All-time great

The current Roehampton list shows GB direct entries now as: Gray, Bass, Pauffley, Peniston, Loffhagen, McHugh, Whitehouse. Stoute, Paris, Butler all just outside direct entry at the moment

I suspect that quite a few of the alt Brits will be nowhere near the Darwin coach. Some have multiple entries such as Emily Appleton who when fit seems to enter as many as she can and all over the place with her.

Presumably Jodie & Freya, entered for Cairns, will be aboard and I see that Suzy Larkin ( presumably still somewhere Down Under ) has put her name down for it.

Oh, I wasn't expecting most of them to turn up - I was just a little surprised to see some of the names on the list as they don't usual go down under. Most of them do indeed have multiple entries all over the place, with the French 25k looking popular.

indiana · Tennis legend

Yes, and one presumes an Australia block is/was seriously a consideration in their minds. Since you hardly think - oh, might pop down to Oz for one or two tournaments

And Emily does have the full 6 entries for that week, Katy has 3 and Gabi just the one (only looking at ITF levels of course).
Before the withdrawal deadline there are 50 players with a total of 135 entries, but only 10 MD and 5 Q at the moment. Well over half of those on the alt lists don't stand a hope of getting in as they aren't even in the top 100. We'll see what the withdrawal deadline brings !

PockyTastic · Futures level

Harriet and Katy should be in qualies at the WTA event in Seoul.

JonH · All-time great

All the brits down to Isaac stoute are in Gb f5 field direct entry now.

RedSquirrel · Satellite level

Mandy made it up to 4th alt for the Italy 25K and 8th alt for the France 60K+H but has withdrawn from both today.
