It is a truth universally acknowledged that if you put a low level tournament in a rather far-flung place you will get a very British draw, with good points wrapped up for your local players

I'm not sure Newport is that far flung...
However maybe the LTA should invest in champuonship facilities in the west of Wales, the outer hebridies and the scilly isles.

If you were coming from France / Spain / Italy etc, you'd definitely think that Newport was far flung
Well done to Lilia Saad, with an excellent win over the Italian 5th seed
And even more excellent win by 14 year-old Matilda Carey who took out the Irish 3rd seed
Only the very precicious 13 year-old Indian girl left in now, in terms of foreign players (she was very impressive for her age, at the Connaught club recently)
