The masters is 8 players in 2 round robin groups of 4 with the top 2 in each going through to the SF.
To be invited players need to finish in the top 3 of the leaderboard or be a British player having won a Premier tier event this tour year. In addition there is a discretionary WC. Unused places go to the next on the leaderboard.

Freya, Ranah, Alicia, Harry, Sean and Joshua have all won Premier events so should be invited.

Fact sheet
https://www.lta.org.uk/4a810a/siteassets/compete/adult/file/lta-british-tour-masters-2022-fact-sheet.pdf

 ok, cool that all makes sense, thanks for that link (the lTA like to hide this info away dont they!!)

Prizemoney is shown as

 

Winner £3,000.00 Runner-Up £1,500.00 Losing semi-finalist £600.00 3 rd in Group £250.00 4 th in Group £150.00

So that is £6500 total per event, £13k in total. Cant recall what the UKPL prizemoney is but it stacks up nicely if players play both.

So based on those winners and the top 3, the summary of qualifiers (as Stresnakova cant play in the Masters, but has won a Premier event?; and presumably Harry W and Ranah's win last December counts to this season?)

Men - Harry Wendelken, Sean Hodkin, Josh Paris, Joseph Newman-Billington, Jordan Reed-Thomas, Michael Shaw, plus the winner of forthcoming Edgbaston Premier and a WC. 

Women - Freya Christie, Ranah Stoiber, Alicia Dudeney, Ciara Moore, Emma Wilson, Fran Davis , plus the winner of forthcoming Edgbaston Premier and a WC. 

Of those, Harry and Josh are both in the top 9 of the UKPL mens rankings, but none of the womens are at the moment. UKPL also has one event left in the league season, the British Tour has one Premier event, before both then have their respective Finals/Masters (UKPL late Nov, British Tour mid Dec)  

 

 So, Michael Shaw cements his place in the field with his Edgbaston win, Hannah can play if she chooses to

Quite a few clips of the match.

And an interview with Hannah at the end

Decision time Hannah. Junior Orange Bowl or British Tour Masters?

 Orange Bowl would feel more exciting and a bigger opportunity to me, and maybe open up money opportunities for the future; Tour Masters would maybe offer some cash now and playing with seniors to her.

 

I would go with Orange Bowl if me!  

 I would too 

More fun. 

Meet all the other high-flying juniors - have a laugh - play ping pong and babyfoot - high profile journos and interviews - watch top quality junior matches - the Tour Masters will be dead dull by comparison for a 13 year-old, IMO

(I wonder if she'll play Les Petits As, again)

If Hannah can beat players like Alice in straight sets surely she could play in the Pro League next year if it goes ahead?

How many adult ITF matches is she allowed to play when she turns 14 in Feb 2023? And WTA?

  A very impressive week. I think she dropped 16 games over the 6 matches.  Don't know when she turns 14 but this year there were 2 ITFs in Feb in the UK and then the next ones where in April. Be surprised if we don't see her in some sort of adult ITF action before the summer.

She can play 8 tournaments in which she gets WTA ranking points. No more than 3 of these can be at 60K or higher under current rules, but don't know if this will be adjusted to include the new 40K tier. She can only play WTA with a WC, not by direct entry. She is allowed 1 WC up to a 250, a further WC up to a 125K and a final WC for any ITF.

She can play a total of 8 but only 3 can be  ITF 60K or above.

I had a look at the latest rulebook but it's written in Gobbledygook

A lot can change in a year at her age, but I think she said she would be back as she wants to win it. I think she has only 1 tournament left on her junior tour allowance? So her options are limited before her birthday. Maybe her schedule would be J3 Glasgow as a warm up for Les Petits As?

 Looks to have played 10 already. So ITFed out till she is 14 I think.

Ah, so she has. I was counting the points breakdown, which of course doesn't include the World Junior Tennis Finals. Playing Les Petits As seems a no brainer then.

By winning this Premier Hannah has a MD WC to a GB 25K in Jan/Feb. Her birthday was during the last of the winter 25Ks this year, so she would just miss out on being able to use it if the tournaments are in the same weeks as this year. Not that it matters as I'd be very shocked if she didn't get to use her full quota of WCs without needing to win the feed ups and there is no hurry to play that first pro tournament. I think she would be focused on the junior Nationals over Easter (I assume that's when they'll be) so it could be late April or early May before she plays her first adult ITF.

The LTA's promo of the Masters says that Millie Rajecki will be playing - she must have the WC. Freya, Emma Wilson and Ranah also confirmed.
Sean, Josh and Harry confirmed on the men's side.

Waiting for the full list to be entered on the competition portal.

 Hey Lambda - not sure if this is what you mean by the Portal, if it is it still looks like no entry list is confirmed ?

or have got got sight of one?
