Norrie lost to Tirante in straight sets in last 64 at Italian Open.

Not a great time for British tennis at present.

Agreed. But has managed to get back into the top 20

Will soon be the only British male in the top 100 - Draper likely to exit the top 100 after the French Open.

Lot of uncertainty surrounding Raducanu and her fitness.

Wow, I didn't realise Draper had fallen so far

I wonder if Randucanu has a serious/long term medical condition - whilst she clearly has some mental 'challenges' (frailties), there seems to be some medical ones too, notably with the recent longer term reason for not playing. I wouldn't discount something like Glandular Fever. But is it more serious - makes me think or our our Serge Baltacha's daughter Elena

Christ, don't say that.

Hopefully nothing as serious, but it seems more than a virus as reoccuring, as that would sure'y just be a few weeks. I used to have quite low blood pressure, it's still on the low side for my age, but nothing to worry about. It may just be the mental 'challenges' side of her game but she does keep having her blood pressure taken - hence wondering if there is an underlying issue. Hopefully something that be corrected easily. She should have access to top medical care

Raducanu loses to Parry in the opening round at Strasbourg. Norrie plays today at Geneva.

Jan Choinski is now the British No 3 after winning the Challenger Event at Zagreb last week. Draper remains at No 2 but unclear when he will return to the tour.
