Birmingham





Well the clay season is finished, and we now (after a lengthy break!) move on to the British grass season, which is a short yet highly anticipated 3 weeks of tennis. Schnyder defended her Paris crown to claim her second Slam title. The transition from clay to grass is never easy, so this week will be very interesting, and could give a good indication of who to look for at Wimbledon in 2 weeks time.
