It appears that Fitzy and Toby Martin are down for Egypt as well.

Edit

Having said that, there are quite a few GBers down on several lists at the moment, so I suppose we will have to wait for the withdrawal deadline.

Good to see that Colin looks like being back in action.

Mike Dickson reporting that Heather is hoping to be back next week (which we kind of already knew, but there's a bit more info)

Great news by the sounds of it, hopefully she's nearly 100% and only just rusty.

According to Spiceboy on Tennisforum (who seems to have access to the official lists), Heather is out of Strasbourg.

Not clear whether Laura is still intending to play. Her interview didn't mention it so possibility that she has changed her plans.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

I see the list is out ofr Nottingham, as usual with a cut off you'd expect to see at a $125k. honestly this is a crazy policy from the LTA. give our boys some more challengers!

Heather has withdrawn from Strasbourg

steven · Tennis legend

Brussels WTA announced on Twitter earlier that Bally has a main draw wild card (Octagon's pic, it says)

Also, the RG qualies cut has now dropped as far as Brydan Klein. He once won 11 in a row on clay, but that was in AUS (not known for attracting Spaniards and South Americans to its lower level events!) with the first 10 of those wins in Futures. He was 1-1 in Challengers on clay and 4-3 in Futures on clay last year and has played RG qualies once before, losing 6 & 0 to well-known clay court deity Kevin Anderson in QR1 ...

If nothing else, it saves me trying to work out (just in case Andy withdraws) the last time there were no players with "GBR" after their names in RG men's qualies or main draw. The last time there were none in the main draw, there were 7 (!) in qualies and ITF records of RG qualies only go back as far as 1993.

korriban · Challenger level

From twitter it appears that Mr Golding may be entered in the Dusseldorf 250 tournament - presumably qualifying DA or more likely WC.

Interesting.

RJA · Hall of fame

It is fairly common to be able to just turn up for qualifying for an ATP 250 and sign in as a late entry without the need for a wild card.
