Maybe its a good way to get a match in day after day without actually exerting herself too much. When she goes back on tour, the likelihood is that she will be in qualifying for tournaments so a good way of replicating that without risking breaking down again?

I wasn't sure who you were meaning, I assumed Boulter, but didn't know the context of the statement, and was thinking have any of these BT players been on tour much, ha.

 Andre is a young Lithuanian player based in the UK (coached by the Porter Twins in Essex I think). Has played and won British tour events in recent years and played the very occasional ITF in the last year or so.

Yeah, that's a shame for interest, although not a huge surprise I guess. It's a lot better than last week, and similar to week 2 (bar Maia), although they were both Tier 1 and this is Premier as you say. Alicia D did beat Lily in a MTB in week 2, and there's a few more fairly promising teens here, so maybe she won't have it all her own way, but she (Lily) should start as a firm favourite.

I was thinking the other day if Lily would have liked to have played at the SGH events? I assume she's probably not eligible, but I'm sure she'd have appreciated more match play against a similar level of player, not to mention the increased prize money. I would personally normally prefer the better opportunities to be for those representing GB, but from a spectacle / competition POV, she'd have a lot better value than some of the players competing these past couple of weeks.

Edit - In terms of the 2 WCs, I don't suppose we'll get any interesting left field additions, and looking at the Alts, Danielle Daley never seems too far away from a WC, and Olivia Rook did make the semi last week, so bar any further withdrawals, they could be in contention. Sasha Hill would be fairly competitive.
