 Lukosiute out now, Annabel Davis replaces her. Just 2 players with wta rankings in the field now. 

Nadia the latest to withdraw from this week, although that really is no surprise because it was 35 matches in 35 days for her, something she was referencing on social media the other day.

Feel a bit sorry for Lily. It's obviously good for her that she is at least allowed to compete in these events, and earn what should really be fairly easy money, even if not the biggest prize fund, but her main rivals this week will be Holly (assuming she stays in after WD from the next 2), Grace, Tanysha, and probably Millie, and she's beaten the former two three times this year, dropping something like 10 games combined, so it's going to be hard for her to get a proper test, ahead of any ITFs she plans to play in the coming months.

Here is the ladies draw, Staff v Bissett seems the standout match in round one

 Not any more! Staff out so now Emma Wilson as 4th seed vs Bissett. In fact when draw was first done on Tuesday it was Lukosuite (4) v Bissett, Lukosuite then came out and Staff was the seed there before she came out this morning.

I was thinking of posting the matches, but as it keeps changing I'm going to wait until tomorrow morning now - the women's matches are all NB 13:30 anyway.

So no real stand out R1 matches now. I see the top 2 seeds are on Centre Court. Not sure if the BBC cameras and commentary team are out this week, but if they are, they'll be the featured ones.
