No mention of Katie Boulter who is in Spain at the moment. Katie Swan I believe is back in Wichita for Christmas.

Especially given she's been training at the NTC this week.

Still too early for Laura Robson I presume.

 I can't understand what kind of competition this is. Can't be a team event nor an individual league.

Katie Boulter a reserve so presumably is coming back from Spain before it finishes.

 Players don't have the same number of matches so can't be an individual competition. Can't be a two team match either. A mystery!

So individual but players wont play same number of matches. Sort of contrived !

If Alicia is now #4 seed, there must have been a fair few withdrawals...
