Tennis Explorer says she is Australian

Thanks to you and CD, the Australian origin would explain why she appears to have come from nowhere aged 26!

I remember posting on here when she switched to GB. It was July 2022. She has played several times in the UK as a GBR.

Lambda · Challenger level

Lucky loser place available as Harriet withdraws.

Isabelle Lacy has also withdrawn, so that's another of the wildcard possibilities ruled out.

So is Tiffany William on the cards for a wildcard?

Also wondered - where's Lauryn JB?

Maybe she's over injury and possible?

Hardly a surprise. Did anyone really think she would play here?

Freya and Ali are top seeds in the doubles in Switzerland, so Freya waon't be playing here - anther one off the wildcard list

I'm going to ask the girl playing in the park if she fancies one biggrin

(So, new list is: Jasmine, Tiff, Lauryn????, some youngster)

LordBrownof · Futures level

Matilda?

Maia is on the doubles list although she withdrew from the singles on Thursday. Still a possibility ? Talia withdrew on the same day. The other name that springs to mind is Beth, but she hasn't played for two months.

I say give it to Julie Pullin. She hasn't had one in a while

Maybe Eden and Katie Swan are going to turn up ???

Not sure why you'd drop out of a W60 to get a wildcard to a 25k when you could have simply got in the 25k if you'd signed in in the first place but hey....

Lambda · Challenger level

Allegra Korpanec Davies and Kate Mansfield were on the qualifying list but missing from the draw. Allegra is based in Nottingham I think so maybe? Not sure about Kate as it would be unusual for the LTA to give an overseas registered player a WC even if they have British connections.

Darn, I'd put Allegra down on my initial list smile - and then forgotten all about her

Pretty sure Kate M has no Nottingham connection - she's from London/the south, isn't she?

Of course, maybe she's thinking of switching countries and this is all part of the deal????
