Cornelia Oosthuizen is very near to catching Lucy Shuker as British #1. Lucy loses 100 points from French Open and later Wimbledon in a few weeks time. But she replaces them with counters that will just keep her above Cornelia. However, action soon turns to the grass in Eastbourne, Roehampton and Wimbledon, where both ladies should be playing in all 3 events (they should get Wimbledon wild cards, in a 16 draw, despite not qualifying as of right)


 In the womens singles rankings, Lucy is still top but just one spot (18 v 19) ahead of Cornelia. They are both playing in a Series 3 level event this week in Cervia, Italy. Lucy is top seed, Cornelia is 2. Abby Breakwell and Ruby Bishop both play as well. 

Interesting to see how it goes if they both play in the final, head to head
