In the women's event at Loughborough this week, the top two seeds are Holly Hutchinson and Amelia Rajecki.

There's also Grace Piper (U18 national champion), Holly Staff, Nadia Rawson (last week's winner), Marni Banks, Kim Mpukusa, as well as 15 year-old Sofia Johnson, who's an interesting talent.

All the seeds made it through round 1, with the exception of Kimberly Mpukusa, who retired at 0-6 0-3

Holly Hutchinson has given a walkover in round 2 though (won her R1 match 1 & 2)

Marni Banks takes the title as Grace Piper retires with the score at 4-1 to Marni.
Perhaps 5 matches over three days was rather a lot of tennis.

 Holly Hutchinson was top seed because of her ITF ranking. Why does she not seem to be included in lists of British players with world rankings?

Holly has just 2 points, so hasn't got a WTA ranking. You need three counters for WTA ranking, but only one for and ITF ranking.

Indeed, although in general players can hsve ITF ranking counters and hence an ITF ranking, say frim qualifying wins, without any WTA world ranking counters ar all.
