Jodie Burrage has set her sights on overtaking Emma Raducanu as British No 1 as she targets a positive grass-court season ahead of Wimbledon.
Burrage and the rest of the leading British women are beginning their grass-court campaigns this week at the Lexus Surbiton Trophy, and there is a good chance that by the end of the week one of them will have passed Raducanu.
Burrage, 24, and Katie Boulter are best placed but Harriet Dart and Katie Swan are also in contention, with the quartet all looking to push on into the top 100.
Burrage is optimistic the domestic picture will look healthier come the end of Wimbledon after no British women qualified for main draw of this year's French Open for the first time since 2008.
"It is a bit of a timing thing. There are obviously quite a few of us that are 110-140 so I'm sure in the grass-court season some of those girls are going to push through," said Burrage.
"It is obviously disappointing from a British outlook but I can't really focus on the whole of British tennis. I'm at my career-high ranking and have had some really good wins and a really good season."
you know they say big-4 for to include murray but he has 3 gs vs 20s when you compare with other 3 goats, I’ve never heard it for stan so that’s the point
