Last year there were rich pickings for a large British contingent in South Africa.  This time round there is no J500 or equivalent, and the British entry is just a couple, both drawn against top 4 seeds

R1 (L32)

(4) Gaeul Jang (KOR) v Allegra Korpanec Davies

Marelie Raath v (2) Gloriana Nahum (BEN)

Should be a nice jump for Marelie - even though it's quartered - she has a 27 point doubles counter. smile

I tried to find the ranking points for this but gave up - so many badly designed sites furious

 The jump won't be enough to see her back inside the top 200.  Indeed she needs further good scores in Durban/Harare in the next 2 weeks to avoid a drop, as her top counters in singles and doubles are both from the Pretoria Grade A (J500) last August

I agree though that the site could be clearer regarding ranking points   There is a current points table on page 12 of the Junior Regulations document
