M25 & W25 Bath: Preview, draws and live stream

The Bath event will feature 19 British men in the singles main draw, and 11 in the women’s.

World No.203 Sonay Kartal headlines the women’s draw. It was at a Performance Competitions Calendar tournament a year ago that the 21-year-old's rise began. Kartal was ranked 864 in the WTA rankings at the start of 2022 but she broke into the top 200 for the first time in the final weeks of last year.

Dan Cox, Aidan McHugh, M25 Loughborough runner-up George Loffhagen and ITF M25 Sheffield Champion Daniel Little are all competing in the men’s draw this week.
