Well done to Katie, shortlisted for the top 10 One-to-Watch Sports Aid Awards.

And also Esah Hayat, age 13, who made the shortlist for disability tennis - World Deaf Champion for 2015 !

The page gives a little info about each athlete and their funding:

Katie appears to be joining the Fed Cup team in Eilat in February. Heather and Jo would obviously be the two main singles players but should anyone pull out, it could be a great opportunity for Katie to compete at a higher level should anyone drop out. I've tried to find what the full team lineup is, but can't see it anywhere. Anyone know?

I'm pretty sure that the team won't be announced until the new year

I'd be going with Jo, Heather, Naomi and Joss Rae with Katie as travelling reserve.

It won't be announce yet, but Heather, Joko, Joss, Anna, Laura and Katie will probably be in the provisional squad. I'm not sure if Naomi will make herself available given her position with the LTA.

I think Katie's there just for experience, not to be part of the team. Laura won't be available either, and quite possibly Naomi, so as long as Anna is fit, probably same as last year, unless Judy can persuade Naomi to play.

The move to outdoor hard from indoor won't help Naomi's chances.

The courts in Budapest were really slow though so the outdoor courts in Eilat might actually favour her more.

paulisi · Tennis legend

I didn't even realise the Fed Cup Europe/Asia group was in Eilat this year rather than Budapest....

What dates are they scheduled for?

3-6 of Feb

goldfish · Futures qualifying

Hope Judy doesn't have to make a sudden dash back home ....

indiana · Tennis legend

I am sure she could wait
