This is a rhetorical question, but I wonder when the last time four British women beat a Top 100 ranked opponent in the same event.

 I'm pretty certain it must be last year's Wimbledon when 5 managed it.

Tbf that was quite exceptional, even for Wimbledon, with Steven saying in the tournament thread that it was the first time in 37 years that we had 5 women into R2.

The 5 ( Katie B,  Emma, Sonay,  Harriet, and Lily ) all beat top 100 players in R1 and ended up with 9 top 100 wins in total ( including Harriet beating Katie in R2 ).

So I imagine that 'just' 4 is very rare and pretty amazing that it has happened on clay.

 Of course I left out the magic word 'clay' that would have helped!

 And none of them relying on a wild card to get into the tournament unlike at Wimbledon where the wild cards mean there are more players with chances.
