Katie is in Sharm ElSheikh and is playing singles and doubles. Clips of her practising before she travelled looked good, so hopefully she will survive a few matches and ease her way back in.

Katiw Swan is back in the WTA rankings

Don't know if she's really fit, I don't really believe she is, but taking the good bits, well done to her:

I keep waiting to see when she is playing again. This is a critical part of the season and for her to get any kind of good ranking points and momentum means she needs to be competing regularly.

It is worrying to see her not in any tournaments post Sharm, and although it is good that she has 12 points back again, I just hope it is the first steps to much greater things. Concerned though, and more with every week that passes and her not entered into tournaments.

Just for the record:

Katie Swan appeared back in the UK, on a tennis court, for a proper match

And won her way through the Wimbly wildcard playoffs

So, she's into 2025 Wimbly qualis !!!!

Katie has been a long while again without playing. Does anyone know if she is injured again - I am aware that she had a few back niggles in the last couple of tournaments that she played that resulted in her doing stretches down exercises to her toes, but if didn't appear anything too serious. I am hoping she is just taking a few weeks off and then comes back a plays a few tournaments before the end of the season and gets a few more ranking points.

Anyway, does anyone on here know anything definitive?

Not heard anything about recent weeks but she is entered for W35s in Wagga Wagga ( in Australia if anyone couldn't guess ) in the next 2 weeks, beginning 08/09 and 15/09.

I see that there are 4 more Australian W35s from the end of September through October before they ramp up to a W50 and 2 W75s in November.

Katie would have been supporting Alex at USO Qualifying. Perhaps they hung out at the Swan Family home before heading to Australia

 I think that is true on both counts. Katie recently posted that she and Alex have been together for two years now. I'd expect her to be in Australia for some months now.

Thanks for the updates. I'll look out for Wagga Wagga then.

I went there and was interested to see what the place was like because it was the home of legendary snooker bad boy Quentin Hann, who ended up with an 8 year ban from the sport after numerous incidents, including match fixing, attempting to beat up another player (Andy Hicks) and after an attempt to become a professional pool player in the US ended up involved in some highly dodgy companies. including Monarch FX, which resulted in him being banned from working in the financial services industry in Australia for 4 years The funny thing was that when I went there, no-one had heard of him and they also hadn't heard of the Aussie snooker world champion, Neil Robertson.

Hann though was a massively talented player and it was sad to see him self-destruct so badly - at the end of his career, he seemed to stumble from one crisis to the next.

Anyway good luck to Katie there - Wagga Wagga is out in the sticks, even by Aussie standards, so she will have a bit of a trek to get there - a long drive from Melbourne or Canberra, I'd have thought.

Katie is indeed seeded 4 at Wagga Wagga and has drawn Aussie Giselle Guillen, who is ranked 990 in the world. Fingers crossed that she picks up a few points here - I'd be happy if she is back to playing and gets a couple of wins under her belt

Katie wins again. Entered for this weeks W35, then a week off followed by another Aussie W35.
Hopefully she'll be back over to the UK for the W100 in Wrexham and W75 in Glasgow at the end of October.

By my estimation she needs just over 300 points to get into AO qualifying, Well within her capabilities if she can stay fit.
