Seems fair enough to me that Jo and Tara are down for Nottingham.

They will both no doubt get Wimbledon MD WCs and probably feel they have more chance of getting some decent competitive match play ( and ranking points ) in Nottingham than a possible fairly brief single outing at the much more loaded Birmingham WTA event.

Maybe then get WCs into Eastbourne for the following week.

I understand that there may not actually be that much in the way of prize money or ranking points on offer, but I am still surprised at some of those scheduled to play away when so much is going on at home. That said, I see Tom has already withdrawn from Holland, does Fitzy not fancy another crack on the grass?

That's is definitely the plan.

I really wanted to be there but it is looking unlikely now.  Cost of hotels in the area around RG (and Paris in general) is extortionate !!
