When a British player who hasn't always had the support of the LTA can beat a British player who has always had the support of the LTA, and when for years we've only needed thumbs to count the amount of British women who can get to the fourth round of a major, doesn't this show that there is something wrong with the LTA?
And add to this the fact that they're trying to pretend a Slovenian is British because there is only one British player who is better than him. What a mess.”

BIB 1 - and with their support, Laura reached 4th rounds of GS and 27 in the world. Laura is still coming back from injury.
BIB 2 - surely other countries support their players, not just British players from the LTA? So I don't think that argument altogether holds.
