    Boulter and Radacanu through in straight sets to the SFs in Ostrava and Romania. Good chance for Emma to win her first title since her US Open victory.

    Kartal lost in the QF at Abu Dhabi.

    GB 2-0 up against Norway in the Davis Cup after Draper and Norris won their singles matches. Hopefully Cash and Glasspool win their doubles match later to finish the job.

    Cash and Glasspool made hard work of it against a scratch team but job done and overall tie won.

    Tough match. Her opponent Olyinkovya played well. First final since her US Open victory.

    Raducanu loses 6-0 6-2 to Cirstea in the final in Romania- disappointing end to the tournament.

    Boulter wins her final in Ostrava in three sets - back in the top 100 in the world rankings.

    I think 3 or 4 matches in a week caught up with her given her lack of match play recently

    Norrie through in straight sets.

    Raducanu retires against Osorio - 2-0 down in third set.  Had her BP checked before retiring - not sure what the issue is with her fitness.

    She said after the final she’d had a virus or something I think

    Pinnington-Jones faces Cilic in the QF in Dallas. He's up 43 places in the ATP rankings to 138.

    Interesting to see if him or Fery can break the top 100 this year.

    Pinnington-Jones lost 6-1, 6-4 to Cilic in the last 8 but did incredibly well to get there

    Boulter lost to Paolini in three sets in the QF of the Merida Open. She won the opening set 6-0.

    Back inside the top 70 in the world rankings after dropping out of the top 100 before her recent good spell of form.

    Six Brits in action at Indian Wells. Norrie, Fearnley and Draper in the Men's and Jones, Kartal and Raducanu in the women's. Katie Boulter failed to qualify.

    Draper defending his title and a lot of ranking points
