Here's a decent overview of womens progress tour event

tennisworldlive.com/progress-tour-womens-championships-live-streaming/

 Some errors in this link. No likelihood of Heather playing. As announced there will be two separate tiers of eight players further divided into groups of 4. Top two in each group will qualify for semis. Same for doubles except only one tier.

 

 Thanks Julie, yes, now I read it I realise its missing a little detail. 

I guess the field is unfolding and it seems the UK Pro Series events at weybridge will start early July now and before this, so it will be interesting to see which players select to play where. The LTA British Tour events will probably end up the weakest but of course that is fine as the next tier below top 10 etc need to be catered for. The clash between Progress Tour (16 women) and Weybridge (12 women) will be interesting and could dilute the fields at Progress Tour if money is larger at Weybridge. Men of course dont have the same clash for the top 8 men.

Looks like we all reckon one of dan, kyle and andy and I guess that makes sense! Be interesting to see who comes out on top!

Most folks have probably had their vote, we have all voted for the Big 3 (in GB terms)

Dan EVANS 50.0%
Kyle EDMUND 36.4%
Andy MURRAY 13.6%

I think that is all pretty reasonable and it is hard to see someone coming from the outside to win, but you never know!

Someone backing Cam here, could be a winner takes all scenario!

Vote declared over, and it looks like more than half of us favour Dan, with Kyle, Andy and Cam having some support.

Matches start this pm, lets see what transpires!

The final 4 align completely with our votes in the poll.

I think kyle will beat cam, no surprise there, if andy is fit I think hell frustrate Dan, but it's a tight old call.

I'll go for Dan to beat Andy. Plus Cam perhaps to beat the odds against Kyle.

I think Dan will beat Andy. I am not sure how much Andy will have left in the tank and I have no doubt Evo wil get that backhand slice out to lengthen the rallies. Fitness will be the ultimate factor and Dan is ahead on that count at the moment.

As for Cam vs Kyle, I am just going to go with Kedders but I am not sure on his record against lefthanders. I think he still has an issue returning serve from the lefty swinger serve to the ad court. Mind you, so do a lot of players to be fair. It's going to be very close in my opinion.

Overall, I put Kyle to beat Evo in the final, so I am sticking with that.

 I had kyle to beat andy in a group repeat at the start, but as I said above I'm 50 50 really on andy beating dan. I'm a big fan of both so dont really mind!

I'm a fan of all four.  Where are those pesky foreigners when you need them to avoid having split loyalties.
