:Russian and Belarusian players will be allowed to compete at the U.S. Open this year but only as neutrals, the United States Tennis Association (USTA) announced on Tuesday, a decision that stands in stark contrast to Wimbledon which banned them.
Scotland star Maia Lumsden sealed her place in the main draw of the LTA's Ilkley Trophy with a battling win over Urszula Radwanska on Monday afternoon. Lumsden, who benefits from the LTA Top 25 programme which allows access to the NTC courts and facilities for the top 25 ranked British male and female players on ATP/WTA rankings and can also benefit from the LTA's domestic competition calendar of Pro and Prize money tournaments and a Tournament Bonus Scheme, rallied from a set down to beat former top-30 played Radwanska 4-6 6-2 [10-7] and reach the main draw of the ITF Women's World Tennis Tour event in West Yorkshire.

Great Britain will host the Billie Jean King Cup finals for the first time in 31 years, despite being knocked out of the event earlier this year.
Great Britain has been confirmed as the host of this year's Billie Jean King Cup finals. The 'world cup of women's tennis' will be held in Glasgow from November 8 to 13 after the LTA reportedly bid around £10million for the chance to stage the event on home soil following Emma Raducanu's US Open success. It means Britain will also compete in the finals despite losing their recent qualifier tie to the Czech Republic.
Billie Jean King Cup Finals will be played on indoor hard courts in Glasgow, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) said on Tuesday. As hosts, Britain, who were beaten by the Czech Republic in the qualifiers in April, will be awarded the final berth in the 12-team competition. They will join Australia, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Kazakhstan, Poland, Spain, Slovakia, Switzerland and the United States.
Eden Silva hopes to continue her red-hot domestic form after battling into the main draw at the LTA's Rothesay Open Nottingham. The London ace, who benefits from the LTA Top 25 programme which allows access to the NTC courts and facilities for the top 25 ranked British male and female players on ATP/WTA rankings and can also benefit from the LTA's domestic competition calendar of Pro and Prize money tournaments and a Tournament Bonus Scheme, beat fellow Brit Sarah Beth Grey 5-7 7-5 6-2 in qualifying on Monday afternoon.
Mucho movimiento en el ranking. Y aún más por llegar. Roland Garros cambiará por completo el Top 8 del tenis mundial, aunque no lo hará de inmediato. Novak Djokovic, sin ir más lejos, seguirá como número uno una semana más, pero ese es justamente el tiempo que, seguro, le queda en la cima. Esta temporada, pues, se da una situación peculiar. En 2021, el Grand Slam parisino terminó una semana más tarde que este año y, por ello, los puntos relativos a la pasada edición se restarán el 13 de junio y no este lunes 6, como sería habitual. A la ecuación, además, se añade otra variable, relativa a las medidas (congelación y distinta ponderación de puntos) de la organización por la pandemia. que será cuarto esta semana y mantendrá el puesto tras el reajuste total, defendía 1.000 puntos (el 50% de su título en 2020) y no los 720 que debería en consonancia con sus semifinales de 2021.
