Girls: J2 Szekesfehervar, Hungary, indoor clay (Week 43)
(Preview)
After her doubles title in France last week Ellie Blackford has moved to Hungary to tackle a Grade 2 event. I expect she will find it difficult here, as she has played very little on clay at ITF level, while her opponent plays regularly on the surface, stacking up 2 Grade 4 titles and a Grade 3 runner-up in...

Henry Searle, Hugo Coquelin, Freddy Blaydes and Given Roach have been in qualifying here without joy - Henry and Hugo missing out in final set tiebreaks in their final qualifiers. It's only a 32 draw, so the opposition for those in the main draw is strong, but all 5 Brits in it should think they have a de...
