If the acceptance criteria for the SGH is based on ranking , there might the same entries for the whole 5 , potentially 6 weeks, with maybe only the token WC here and there
Week 2 entry for SGH is much different because of direct clash with Progress Tour. Only two from this week will be at SGH next week

So it looks like the womens side are making Progress Tour their preferred event overall next week? Not many doubling up BT and PT? And none of course with SGH as that requires full commitment for the week.

For once I have totally lost track of who is playing where, but thanks Ace for the OOP - makes all the difference. I usually keep my own lists of who is where, but haven't had time recently (working from home and busy)

Eliz is in Pro Series Week 2 so would have to withdraw from it or from Brit Tour week 3

And she has come out of brit tour week 3, as has sasha hill.

Aye, just a shame that so many are on at the same time. I'm the opposite, I've never had so much time on my hands at the moment, so can watch as much as I physically can.

I've got Eliz vs Naomi on the TV with that being a big match in a tournament I have been invested in, and have Maia vs Emma (with the comms) on the laptop, with it being probably the most familiar player in Maia, and a local (to me) player in Emma, but wouldn't have minded seeing the other 2. I suppose I could have split screens etc. but it's hard enough keeping up with 2, ha.

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

Maia is pulling away with this now, so think I'll watch the Millie vs Grace match as that one is on serve.

Amelia R 6-1 up on Alice G.

Go for it, Ace

I've got all 6 courts open on my computer and flick through them all, stopping here and there, for a few minutes.

And then go back and look, from time to time, at the file I've supposed to be working on.....

6 courts?!

On the LTA You Tube channel, I can see 3 British Tour (Centre, Court 5 and Court 6) and 2 UK Pro (Court 1 and 2). What / where is the 6th??!

Ace Ventura · Tennis legend

I actually just got a call from my boss halfway through those sets and I'm back at work from Monday (from home), so making the most of today, ha.

I've gone with a split screen of the 2 Amelia's on the laptop. Rajecki on fire.

Five, six.... who's counting.... smile

It was actually because I also have the Bet365 page open in the same group (to monitor my 10ps), so it shows up as 6 video streams.

But, yes, what the heck, why isn't there a 6th match??? I need MORE matches !

(And I've written a small paragraph in the last 30 mins - dynamite).

They've seemingly changed the OOP. Holly-Marni was meant to follow Amelia vs Alice on C5, but McHugh is currently on court.

Holly v Marni is one of the other courts

1-0 to Marni

Millie Bissett did well to defeat Grace Piper (who gets a lot of balls back) in two sets and it's nice to see her out there, seemingly enjoying her tennis, and playing quite well.

Marni is running away with the first set over Holly Staff, which is not altogether surprising.

I haven't been able to watch much of it (tuning in now), but I think that is extra stock in Marni's reputation personally. I was obviously expecting Marni to win the match, but Holly is usually quite competitive in her W25 showings, and often forces MTBs against circa 500 overseas players, so I think it kind of more rubberstamps the fact Marni really is going places than just doing what she is supposed to. That said, when you saw her results against Sam and Eden last week, then yes, probably not surprising, but her reputation is certainly growing all the time smile
