Fed Cup stars to battle it out at the Progress Tour Championships

British Fed Cup stars Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter will go head-to-head after being drawn in the same group at the Progress Tour Women’s Championships.

The event, taking place from 14-18 July at the LTA's National Tennis Centre features some of Britain's top tennis talent. Joining Dart and Boulter in Group Anne Keothavong, named after the Team GB Fed Cup captain, will be Jodie Burrage, recent runner-up at the British Tour event as well as Eden Silver, Wimbledon mixed doubles quarterfinalist in 2019.

Heather Watson heads Group Elena Baltacha and will face some stiff competition from No.3 seed Samantha Murray Sharan as well as Scotland's Maia Lumsden and Alicia Barnett.

All groups are named after British women No.1s and highlights the wealth of talent throughout the years in the British women's game.

The late Baltacha's husband Nino Severino said: "It's fantastic that the tournament is honouring my wife and also our Fed Cup Captain Anne Keathavong.  It's a very exciting opportunity for all of the Great Britain players to show what they are really made of and for all of us to watch some exciting tennis."

Singles will be played in a round-robin format with each player facing the other opponents in their group ahead of the semi-finals and finals. There is also a doubles competition with eight pairs taking part.
