Week 24 - ATP Challenger 125 - Lexus Open - Ilkley, Great Britain (grass)
Permalink  

The ATP loves its purple prose:

The ATP Challenger Tour grass-court swing continues with the Lexus Ilkley Open at the 145-year-old Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club. Arguably one of the most picturesque venues on the Challenger circuit, the tournament is nestled adjacent to the idyllic Ilkley Moor, Cow & Calf Rocks and River Wharfe. With the rocks perched atop the moor, the expanse is 402 m (1,319 ft) above sea level, overlooking the town and surrounding countryside.

How a tournament can nestle is beyond me!  no

The LTA tournament page lists the Brits who will be competing, with Cam & Billy confirmed in the main draw, Cam as the likely top seed.  Darts shows that most of the usual suspects will also be in attendance.  This time round, Jay will be in qualies & seeded, along with JoMo & Paul Jubb, back from his not very successful (thus far) wanderings in the US.   Oliver Crawford, Ryan P, George Loff, Charlie Broom, JPJ, Ali Gray, Giles Hussey, Henry Searle, Anton Mat, Stuart Parker,  Arthur Féry, Aidan Mac, Harry W, Kyle & Hamish Stewart are currently lurking among the ALTs.

 Ilkley is very nice as a venue, though, tbh. The Wharfe, that said, has been prone to flood at the site and Ilkley has more than once had the grounds flooded in the past - little danger this year, I suspect.

BTW, Maloney - not sure he is a Brit?

You're right, he isn't, he's a Yank.   Name deleted.  So used to seeing Brits called Patrick, I suppose...

I noticed Marcus and Billy had pulled out, not sure if Marcus was trying to get a repair entry into the Dutch event or whether that is even possible?
