Don't understand why Sonay is in Italy on her own, has she got connections out there?
She's withdrawn from this week's event so I would think she's unlikely to hang around for week 16. I assumed she was in Italy to get some practice on the clay in preparation for RG qualifying. Maybe a WC for Nottingham instead?
The advanced entry for doubles at Nottingham is out. Interesting to see Marcus & Scott not together.
Marcus Willis with Austrian Neil Oberleitner
Giles Hussey & Ben Jones
Joe Tyler & Harry Wendelken
George Houghton & Hamish Stewart
Liam Hignett & James Mackinlay
Matthew Howse & Joel Pierleoni
And
Nakhita Bains & Maia Lumsden
Eliz Maloney with Estonian Elena Malygina
Danielle Daley & Emma Wilson
Soumeya Anane with Maltese Elaine Genovese
As a reminder, the 'earned' WCs for the Nottingham swing for the next 3 weeks are below. The LTA choose which week the WC is taken, but players can request their desired week.
Main draw George Loffhagen (UKPL Wk 3 winner) Louis Bowden (UKPL Wk 4 winner) Men UKPL Wk 5 winner Luca Pow(Boys 18U Junior Nationals Winner)
Emma Wilson (UKPL Wk 3 RU) Womens UKPL WK 5 RU Hannah Klugman (Girls 18U Junior Nationals RU)
If Hannah wins the 18U then I don't expect her to use both WCs she would have earned. Her more immediate priority is getting direct entry to slams, due to her age she is very limited on wildcards and there is no doubt she will be given opportunities to use her full allocation without needing to earn them through the feed up policy.

Thats a real shame - was hoping he was going to make a big push to get a Wimbledon seeding.
is he injured or maybe he is focussing on practice ahead of Madrid and ROme which are big events points wise? Munich can often be cold and wet during this season - the event often is very cold and slow conditions - whereas Madrid will be at altitude and is famously speedy for clay, and Rome tends to be nice and warm. Maybe it will be better for Jack to be training and ready for Madrid than to play Munich?

As of Thursday Sonay is still on the entry list for week 16 in Italy.
