Izzy Wallace is one of three Brits here, in the start of three high-grade Spanish events, presumably looking for points to get her into the Roland Garros main draw.

Two Brits here - Mirabelle Njoze has a good first round draw but Andrew Watson is up against it - firstly against a player with a 15-3 record this year, and if successful the top seed is likely to be next. Boys R1 (L64) Fabian Fallert (GER) v Andrew Watson (GBR) Girls R1 (L64) Mirabelle Njoze (GBR) v (WC) An...

Shamael Chaudhry is currently on a 15 match winning streak in ITFs following 3 Grade 5 titles at the back end of last year. Here he steps up to a Grade 2, with a nice opening draw against a 14 year old qualifier. R1 (L32) (Q) Azizhon Turgonov (UZB) v Shamael Chaudhry (GBR)

Gabi Taylor joins Alex Sendegeya for the last two tournaments of the COSAT circuit, but is drawn in a tough section, with top seed Fiona Ferro her opponent if she wins her opener - which is not straightforward either, as her Chilean opponent reached the semifinals of one of the earlier G2s Boys R1 (L64)...

Anna Brogan has dropped back to a G4 as she continues to rebuild following a lengthy absence last year. So far so good here, though an ex top 100 player bars her path to the final R1 (L32) (3) Anna Brogan (GBR) d. Mishelle Cordero Lopez (GUA) 6-0 6-2 R2 (3) Anna Brogan (GBR) d.

Four years ago Maia Lumsden won this prestigious under 12 event, and in the week she made a major step in the under 18s this tournament again sees British representation in the final stages. Holly Fischer, Indianna Spink, Benjamin Heynold, Johannus Monday and Jack Pinnington Jones all lost in the ea...

A second chance for Katie Boulter and Freya Christie to win a G1 title, but in a stronger field headed by Shilin Xu (WTA 553/JWR 9 ), who beat Jo Konta earlier in the season. It's a 48 draw, which helps our boys avoid seeds unlike last week. Boys R1 (L64) Andrew Li Hei Yin (HKG) v Lewis Roskilly (GBR) Rhett Pu...

The COSAT circuit enters its final straight with a couple of G1s before the Brazilian GA. Alex Sendegeya joins this week, and has won encouragingly this afternoon against a South American of similar rank, who was a semifinalist in the G2 last week. His reward is a crack at the Japanese 4th seed, ranked...

The second week of G2s in South Africa sees Maia Lumsden with the toughest draw seemingly, a chance to avenge last week's defeat by the eventual runner-up. Rob Smith is blogging, mainly focusing on Ben Stride's preparation, at http://itc-tennis.com/category/blog Ben has a much better draw tha...

The final week of Scandinavian tournaments for Max Stewart et al, with all 3 boys avoiding seeds R1 (L32) Daniel Bennett (GBR) v (LL) Lukas Uney (SWE) Thomas Wright (GBR) v (WC) Max Lindqvist (SWE) Gonzalo Morell Raschiatore (AUS) v Max Stewart (GBR)

After a tough 2 weeks in Thailand playing $10K events, ending up by drawing the top seed, Katie Boulter becomes the hunted top seed here. She has a lot of points to defend in the next few weeks, having reached a couple of G1 finals in the 2013 Asian swing, plus winning a G2 in Spain. She opens against a 14 yea...

Izzy Wallace is here, presumably searching for points to get back in the top 50 and improve her chance of direct entry into Roland Garros. Her opener looks friendly enough, but she is in the same half as the top seed Anna Kalinskaya, who has already won a G2 this year. R1 (L32) (4) Isabelle Wallace (GBR) v...

Last year the under 12s actually won this event, but there will be no repeat this year. Johannus Monday and Benjamin Heynold both lost 2.5 hour matches to Belarus, so the team are playing for the minor positions.
