A bit like Indian Wells and Miami, the wheelchair tour has two big American events back to back: the Series 1 level Georgia Open in Rome, Ga. and then the Super Series Cajun Classic, which is in Baton Rouge.

The Georgia Open starts today and British entries are:

Mens singles - no one!! (Oda and Alfie as well as some other top players, like Gordon Reid are giving this a miss - not sure yet re Baton Rouge next week)

Womens singles - a few Brits entered here - Lucy Shuker is playing and plays fellow Brit Martha Harris. Cornelia Oosthuizen and Ruby Bishop also play in a 16 player singles draw

Quad singles - Andy Lapthorne is here and seeded 3 in a 14 player field.

Doubles draws will probably be released tomorrow, the same players will be in that.

Good luck to all.

 Realistically, I only expect one of our women's players to make it through and that would be Lucy in an all British opener; Ruby and Cornelia both have opponents ranked well above them. 

In the men's, Andy is playing Robert Shaw; Andy is seeded 3, ranked 5; the Canadian, Shaw, is ranked 7. Andy is actually 10-0 H2H v Shaw, but a lot of their matches have ended in retirements for some reason, one way or the other, a lot more than one would expect (4 out of 14, with those 10 completed)
