Norrie and Murray Sharan head provisional entry list for second LTA British Tour event at NTC
• 2 MINUTE READ
The LTA has today announced the provisional entry lists for the second of its behind closed doors British Tour events at the National Tennis Centre in July, with Cameron Norrie and Sam Murray Sharan among the players set to take part.
Starting on Thursday 9 July, the Men’s Premier level event will run over four days and the Women’s Tier 1 event, starting on Friday 10 July, will run over three days. Each event hosts 16 men and 16 women including Norrie and Murray Sharan, as well as Jay Clarke, Jack Draper, Paul Jubb, Naomi Broady and Jodie Burrage.
The LTA has increased total prize money by 50% at each of the four behind closed doors tournaments, and all players from the first round onwards will receive prize money to help support the incomes and expenses from a wider base of players who have been impacted by the suspension of professional tennis during the Covid-19 crisis.
Over the four week swing there will be two Premier Tier men’s and women’s singles events and two Tier 1 men’s and women’s singles events. Jay Clarke and Katie Boulter were among those confirmed to take part in the first event, starting on 2 July.
Six players across the draws – Clarke, Jubb, Draper, Burrage, Aidan McHugh and Anton Matusevich – are supported by the LTA’s Pro Scholarship Programme, which provides world class coaching, medical and financial support to developing players aged 16-24 with potential to reach the top 100 within five years.
