Harriet Dart and Naomi Broady to play in London event

Britain's top female tennis players have been given the opportunity to return to competition next month.

The Progress Tour Women's Championships will be similar to Jamie Murray's 'Battle of the Brits'.

British number three Harriet Dart has agreed to play, but Johanna Konta, the world number 14, is not expected to take part.

The former top 100 player Naomi Broady has also signed up, along with 17-year-old Emma Raducanu.

The event will be held on outdoor courts at the National Tennis Centre (NTC) in London from 14-18 July.

The 16 singles players will be split into two divisions, before competing in a round robin and knockout stage mirroring the format of London's ATP Finals.
