Good to see a few girls in Egypt grass entry list - Lily is also as her second choice event.

Still, surprised so many aren't going for the grass at this point and prioritising the hard and clay courts.

Liam in particular, who was my pick for most grass wins!

I'm a little surprised that the women are contemplating playing in Egypt the week before the wild card playoffs. I can't see Vic or Esther getting QWC's directly.

 Thanks Lambda - where do you see the lists down into qualifying, they don't seem to be showing these on the lists I look at? 

Is there a fuller list for Ilkley in partic - the LTA site only has the Main draw acceptances for both men and women?

 Some good names in the main draw list for Ilkley (Taylah Preston, Emerson Jones, Lili Tagger). Hope you've got tickets Jonh.

 of course - WTA used to be rubbish at lists, so I seldom look there

There is no mention of any of our women at Ilkley???
Previously have enjoyed watching Sonay, Sam Murray, Harriet, Jodie, Marni, Ella, Hannah, Mimi, Lily, Millie, Laura ( rather a long time ago!) in singles plus many established plus up and coming doubles players.
Of course I also enjoy watching the rising stars from other countries, but seems a bit lacking from the Brits this year.
I'm going on Tuesday and Wednesday this year.
I narrowly missed an encounter with JonH last year who witnessed me swearing at Terence Atmane who nearly clobbered me while taking his frustrations out on the rolled up court cover right beside me. Yes, you really can get that close to the action at Ilkley. I thoroughly recommended it!

With Fran going for the dirt, intrigued to see who gets the WCs for Queens.

Guessing Katie B, Sonay and Harriet....?

 Field much stronger due to it being a 125 and limited other options for players prepping for Wimbledon qualies in particular. It'll weaken a bit but not like when it was an ITF (when it usually clashed with Birmingham 250 I think).

 Its a shame for some of the youngsters. Remember Mimi getting her first WTA tour win here last year against Parks the number one seed. Some rich pickings for those players who have spent time prepping on grass?

 They 'ruined' Surbiton, IMO, by bumping it up

And are, again just IMO, going to do the same here 

In keeping with the no W15s ethos, simply putting richer and richer events on is only a benefit to the very established players and the one or two favourite elite hopefuls who the LTA will be pushing
