Amarni Banks, runner-up at The Shrewsbury Club last year, is one of four British players to receive main draw wild cards for the Lexus W100 Shrewsbury ahead of the tournament starting this weekend.
Jodie Burrage, Hannah Klugman and Mingge Xu have also been given wild cards for the prestigious ITF World Tennis Tour event.
Burrage, who was ranked as high as 85 in the world last September, has recently returned from injury. The four wild cards join two more British players – Sonay Kartal and Heather Watson – in the main draw of the Lexus W100 Shrewsbury. “The team there run it so well for players and spectators and really make it a big event. They go above and beyond to put on fun things for everyone and I think it’s super exciting for us British players. It’s not often we get to compete on British soil, so we’re all looking forward to it.”
Nuria Parrizas-Diaz from Spain and Arantxa Rus from the Netherlands are ranked 81 and 82 respectively, with French player Oceane Dodin, twice a Shrewsbury champion earlier in her career, currently 91 in the world. “I always enjoy nature and exploring cities in the UK and Shrewsbury will be a new experience. This year I played in the semi-finals at the Olympics and that was the biggest success of my career, so I have many great memories from the 2024 season. I hope I will play a few more good matches between now and the end of the year.”
