Great to see that Hannah Klugman has entered the W50 in Birmingham

She'll certainly get a MD wildcard, surely

And Mimi too

Remember there's another W50 in Roehampton the week after, which I'd expect both to enter since they've entered Birmingham, and that they're juniors with additional restrictions on WCs.

Don't think it's certain Hannah will get a WC. She has 1 WC left before her quota renews back to 3 the week after Roehampton and may want to use it in Roehampton, with it being "home".

Mimi has 4 WCs to use before October (excluding Wimbledon) and I expect she'd save 1 for Ilkley and possibly other grass events, so again not a certainty she'd take a WC in both Birmingham and Roehampton. I'd say definitely 1 of them but not so sure about both. It comes down to whether she and her team think it's better to use 2 up in the W50s now or if they would make better use of them in the spring W35s and how many she wants to save for the grass.

An added complication to deciding where thet take their WCs is that they do both have direct entry to main draws through the Junior Accelerator route (2x up to W50, 3x up to W35 for Hannah, 1x up to W50 and 4xup to W35 for Mimi) but I expect they'd use them overseas where WCs won't be available to them.

It must be a real headache to plan a top junior's schedule with all these different routes and additional restrictions.

 Im just wondeirng if they may go for Birmingham as the field doesn't look quite as stacked as Roehampton.

Heather, Sonay and Anna have all withdrawn from Birmingham.

Isabelle, Mimi and Ranah have joined Katy and Eliz in Qualifying.

My thoughts exactly. Potential to be so much higher if she played a bit more. Maybe she is happy just playing on British tour and GB events. Who knows

Glasspool/Rojer out of Marseille

 She's long had injury troubles like most of the GB girls.

Heather has appeared in Qualifying in Abu Dhabi 

Seems strange for Jay to be playing in Tunisia rather than his much more local Nottingham, but his choice I guess.
