Interesting to see a few of the women still in draws. Wondering when Katie will eventually make a come back. Also Mandy continuing to play in the only W25 tournament in Europe this week, a French hard indoor event.
Yes I know, that's not what I meant... she has been in draws the last few weeks and withdrawn from them all beforehand. So just seeing her name in a draw still doesn't mean she is actually going to play yet.
No one seems to know why she withdrew from the tournament this week but I don't think it was anything to do with her injury, either didn't want to travel to Turkey or possibly made an error with the dates and had to wait another week for her PR to kick in or some other random reason but she was interviewed for an article on the BBC last week and made clear that she is not in any pain at all and has been training hard.

Yes, it seems clear she does intend to play again this year, to start to get back into things before the start of the next season, since the AO is so close to the start... It will certainly be wonderful to see her back, once she does finally reappear!
