It is funny, after all the tennis we have had on the various domestic events, this week has seemed quite slow! Pleased to see the British Tour again today, never thought I would ever say that!!!
With the lack of opportunities for most of these players on the ITF tour currently and probably for the foreseeable future due to lack of tournaments and therefore high entry cut offs. These players are going to clog up British tour events based on old rankings without anyone new being able to obtain a ranking again for the foreseeable future. So my point i'm looking to get to does the LTA need to be a bit more creative for the foreseeable future on the way the entry lists work, taking into consideration performance on a string on British tour events that we have now had. As currently the events are a bit ring fenced by a select few.
There is a live stream for all four courts they are using today. Note that the court numbers on the LTA page do not correspond to the numbers on the draw, but hey-ho, there are streams !

What happened to the WTN (world tennis number) that was due to be introduced by the LTA in April? Some of the players have returned to the US for college so there has been a slight change in the entry list, but yes I think the LTA does need to be more creative moving forwards.
Watching the Fery vs P-J match, Fery just lost the first set 2-6. Looks very windy there
