Yes, as far as I know starting Wednesday in Nottingham. Top three marni banks, anna popescu, anna Brogan (marni went in as wc, late ?). Katarina who has been good in uk proleague was in but withdrew in last few days. Bottom end of list now has quite a few younger ones, juniors in. The draw hasn't been done yet. The week after it is Woking. Both are grade 2 events.

Link above is draw to womens event, can follow to get mens. First round wednesday.
But be patient....lta tournament software site seems to be very slow. Also to add Marni Banks wasnt in this one but in Woking next week, and Anna Popescu must have come out quite late. Top two seeds Anna Brogan and Emma Wilson.

Mens draw is out. Top seed is a Bosnian, 2nd seed a German and the 3rd a Kenyan. An interesting draw for a Grade 2 event.
The German appears to have played LTA events before going by his profile, so might be based here.
Many thanks, Spireman and Madadman, for the links - my normal LTA Tour page doesn't have them... (!?!)
Glad to see a nice range of girls playing, with lots of juniors, some quite high-ranking youngsters (like Tabitha Holmes, Mingge Xu, etc.) as well as Kat Barnes (after the Proleague appearance last week)...
Less names interesting for me in the men - although curious that the top two seeds are non-Brits (it's unusual at Tour level). I'll watch Phoenix Weir's results, after Tennisdad (think that's his name) highlighting his form in juniors recently. And Yujiro Onuma.
Out of interest, is there a planned British tour points table this year and associated Masters week? The calendar doesnt say anything about that and , to be fair, doesnt go out to the end of the year.
