 I guess, strictly speaking, you are correct.  I'm not sure, however that a victory for a US born player (who lived in GB between the ages of 5 and 8) and has played almost all her tennis in US over a Lithuanian born player who learned her tennis and has played all her tennis in UK is really a victory for Team GB!


 Both of Angelicas parents are British and she has spent a lot of her life in the UK . More than just the 2 years in the Stanford post . Obviously not possible to be based here when she goes to university in the US .

 If her Stanford Roster details are correct, then only living three years in the UK (when very young) is hardly a 'lot of her life'. And if they're not right, then why doesn't she correct them? And she obviously entered all the US junior nationals that are cited for those years, so must have been there then.

But, as said, that's not a problem for me (and not for Telstar either, from what I read) - he/she was simply pointing out the quirks of tennis nationality

I am celebrating Angie's win as part of what looks like a mega day for the lower ranks of GB women's tennis biggrin

May be wrong but doesn't that make Angie Blake's third counter in singles, and so a ranking?

Ah, I had missed that it is the same rule as the AER.

Each ITF tournament in which a player earns WTA ranking points counts towards a player's maximum number of ITF Tournaments under the Wild Card Rule. Singles wild cards are counted separately from doubles wild cards, except for players under WTA Age Eligibility Rules. However, participation in a Tournament in which a player does not earn ranking points does not count as a tournament played under this Wild Card rule.

I don't recall that in previous year's rulebooks. So Ranah has a full set of WCs available.

i know Angelicas family well and this īs the extent of my knowledge about her . Yes , she was born in the United States with British parents. As such she has dual nationality and has always hād a UK Passport. And therefore of course she could choose which of the 2 countries to play under. She spends several months every year in the UK and has pretty much always done that. The family have always hād a home in London. So not just the 2 years mentioned by Stanford. I believe she has been a UK player since 2018 , the same year she went to Stanford. She played tournaments in the UK i think that year and would have played more hād it not been for Covid. Her opponent today could presumably likewise represent Britain but chose not to.

Qualifiers placed - Ranah gets Alice Gillan, so a good chance to move up the rankings and Marni gets Emma Wilson.
