Take Andy out and Kyle as a long term thing and the men seem to do ok. Is it an issue on the womens training side, how is that structured and is there a fitness head we should look at? Or is it all down to the individual player at pro level and a sad coincidence?

Even including Andy and Kyle, when do you see our Men retire halfway through a match or withdraw after a couple of rounds on such a regular basis. It's almost guaranteed that atleast one of the women will give a W/O or retire mid match every bloody week.
ETA I'd get better odds on them retiring than winning ffs

All the points look fairly competitive, if she turns up in Ecuador next week Id say this is more tactical/avoiding a little niggle. Or so I hope!
Why would she back out of a w60 semi to jack down to Ecuador for a w25?! Makes no logical sense in my eye. If injured , pull out. If not injured dont just throw this for a trip down to South America . Surely?!
I agree this is unbelievably frustrating. I had such high hopes for Katie this week but it seems we don't seem to have any female tennis players capable of getting through a full tournament. If they don't get beaten they retire!!
Agree with above, frustrating. On mens side we have had Dan, Cam, Liam and others making progress. I do wonder whether at this time of year with thoughts turning to sw19 those that will need a wc have an extra incentive to be extra careful over health/ fitness so they can appear at Wimbledon. It's a decent payday and kick starting a career/rankings rise if a round 1 win follows.

Ecuador is hardcourt and she is supposed to be there for 2 weeks although the chances of her or Jodie getting through both weeks are practically non existent. Maybe she wants a bit of time practising, I hope thats the case anyway.

Quite frankly I'd be making it clear if they can't manage a full tournament then they can kiss goodbye to any MDWC. Give them a qualifying one and if they can manage to string 3 matches together then fairplay
