Hard to credit theres only Lauryn flying the flag for the British women.

Not really. Apart from Emily A, there were no players ranked in the top 1000 playing this week. 

It was a weird week. As Lamda commented in the Entries thread it looked as if the women had ''withdrawn en mass''. It continued as Mimi was a late withdrawal from Czechia when every point was needed for potentially getting to AO qualifying. Both Jizel and Lauryn won their first round matches which was lovely but then Lauryn won her second round match. This was unexpected, This was brilliant, This ensured Lauryn would be playing on Friday of this week.This ensured that there was a feminine presence on this thread this week. Lauryn is ranked 1079 and beat the player seeded no 3 and ranked 761. Credit to Lauryn.  Go Lauryn.

However I do hope more women play next week.

Not much better in week 46 - but DF will give you the bad news.

Julian and Lloyd set up an all-British semi final showdown against Joe and Neal. Henry and Harri have a big match on Friday to decide
whether they too will make the semis.
Meanwhile :
Julian and Lloyd clinched Year-End ATP Doubles No1 on Tuesday. They are the first all-British pair to claim year end no1 team honours. They
achieved this feat in their first full season as a team. Congratulations to them.
Also on Sunday before the start of the tournament Henry got engaed to his longtime partner Ellie Stone in Turin.

Congratulations to them!

Good luck to all
