Portugal has been hit hard by the weather so there was play yesterday and Aiden won but Dan is yet to play
Indian Wells has started. Players will get their 'friday feeling'next week hopefully. Kudos to Katie S who qualified and played in a WTA1000 for the first time.
Emma, Jack and Andy won teir first matches.
In the doubles we have:
Lissey & Liv in Slovakia W60, Eden with Valentin in India W40, Emily with Isabelle in Florida W25 (thanks the A)
Joe with Juan, Scott & Marcus and Ben & Mark in Canada M25
also Sean & Harry, Billy with Akra and Aiden with George yet to play in Portugal M25
There were doubles matches at Indian Wells and Joe and partner fell but everyone else is still there. Early days.
Good luck to all

Great job, DF - and, just me, but, yes, I like to have the Indian Wells ones, say, as part of the list.
For me, I look at this thread to see who's results I should be looking out for, which livestreams/tv might be interesting so everyone who's playing today (and maybe the weekend) is important; I don't really look at it as a semi-final or better list
My favourite post of the week, only chance I have to catch up with who is at the business end of the week across the events - I tend to myopically look at just the Challenger and above events with any degree of focus during the Mon-Thursday period, this is the point when I get interested in the ITF events, I am afraid - so unlike CD, I tend to think of it as who is doing something interesting this week that I should pay attention to!
Thanks DF
PS and I like the Saturday follow ups that Miriam ABC tends to do as well, it all helps!!

Singles, not too many left in apart from IW. So Ben plays SF tonight, Emilie LG is into final, and nobody left in Portugal singles.
Doubles, better news: Lissey and Liv are champs!, Eden lost final, Emily went out yesterday. In Canada we have guaranteed winner Ben and Mark are finalists and in Portugal all still in.
IW - we have only lost Joe to date though Dan plays Jack tonight and the winner plays Andy assuming he gets through facing an alt instead of PCB.

Thanks Miriam! Just to note, Ben and Mark went out of Canada M25 to Marcus and Scott; Marcus and Scott play Joe Tyler and partner in the final. Andy is playing Albot (tough opponent still despite ranking being a little low right now) and Cam is of course in as is Emma.
I realise we're Thursday and not Friday (which is the whole point of this thread) and that, by tomorrow, it all might look very different....
But as of today, we have the most amazingly eclectic bunch of GB players still in play
I mean, (and with no disresepect), we've got names like Zach Stephens, Nick Philibert, Mike Shaw, Abigail Amos, Adam Jones, Maddie Brooks, Alisha, Hamish.....
