Miami Open a bit disappointing, with Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu going out in the 1st round (though she had a tough draw in Bianca Andreescu).

Wimbledon to allow Russian and Belarusian players to play Wimbledon under neutral nationality

Great to see Jodie Burrage winning 60K Croissu Beaubiurg tournament in France. Her first title in 4 finals at that level.
Great to see Fram Jones back playing

Katie Boulter has replaced Emma Raducanu as British Women's #1.

Boulter, Harriet Dart and Jodie Burrage have all reached the Quarter-finals of the prestigious, er, Nottingam Open.

Boulter beat Dart, but Burrage also won through. Boulter will play Heather Watson, as Brits make up 75% of the semi-final line-up.

Andy Murray is also through to the semis, though George Loffhagen lost his quarter-final in the decider.

*deep breath*

Boulter beat Watson, and Burrage beat Alize Cornet, setting up the first all-British WTA final since 1977.

Andy Murray made the final, against a bloke who beat the bloke Murray beat in last week's final.

Today's men's doubles final was between two all-British teams.

Tomorrow's women's doubles final sees Dart & Watson go for the win.

Raducan-who? indeed.

Is the success in the Nottingham Open down to a resurgence of tennis in Britain, or is it that a lot of the World's top players are having a week off, or a weeks training on grass after the French Open.

Katie Boulter won the battle of the Brits beating Jodie Burrage 6-3 6-3 to capture her maiden WTA title.

Andy Murray sealed his second title in a few weeks with a straight sets win too.

You cynic

Well done Andy, and especially Katie, #1 and a 1st title soon after.

Dart & Watson alas lost.
