Heather Watson has an account of her Fed Cup week day by day on this site:
http://www.glamourmagazine.co....n-fed-cup-diary-2015
It mentions that her next tournament is in a week's time in Dubai followed by one in Qatar.
Heather Watson;s current ranking of 38th could drop a few places - she will need to do well at Dubai. That's because the tournament which will drop out is the Midland one which she won last year. That's 140 points and she will need to reach the semi-finals at Dubai.
There was an error on the Dubai singles draw in that Heather Watson did not have a bye in the first round.
She suffered a 6-4 7-5 straight sets defeat against world number 132 Kateryna Kozlova of Ukraine.
The world number 43 was broken four times in the match, with her 20-year-old opponent wrapping up victory in an hour and 37 minutes.
Watson lost in the first round of her last event, the Australian Open, some 28 days ago.
British number one Heather Watson has confirmed she will begin her 2015 grass court season at Nottingham's inaugural WTA event in June.
The Aegon Open Nottingham takes place from 8-14 June during the three-week window between the French Open and the start of Wimbledon on 29 June.
"It's brilliant that we've got a brand new women's event in Britain before Wimbledon," said the world number 43.
"I love coming back to play on home soil every summer."
The 22-year-old reached the semi-finals in last year's Aegon International in Eastbourne but was knocked out in the second round of Wimbledon.
Watson, who secured her second WTA title when she won the Hobart International event in January, added: "The support from the home crowds for all of the British players is fantastic, which makes it extra special."
Having staged an ATP event between 1998 and 2008, Nottingham will be a WTA venue for the first time this year before the traditional women's grass court tournaments in Birmingham and Eastbourne.
An extra week was introduced in the 2015 schedule, allowing players more time to adjust to playing on grass following the end of the clay court season in Paris.
The week-long tournament in Nottingham gets under way on 8 June
Heather Watson is in the qualifying stages of the Qatar Open at Doha which started today. In the first round she has comfortably beaten Olla Mourad (who is from Qatar and is not in the WTA rankings) 6-1, 6-0. Her opponent in the second round of qualifying is Saisai Zheng (ranked 76).
It's been a long time but Laura Robson's coming back.
Former British number one Laura Robson has been given a wildcard into qualifying for this month's Miami Open after 14 months out of action with a wrist injury.
The 21-year-old has not played since losing in the first round of last year's Australian Open.
Robson had surgery on her left wrist last April and did not make her planned comeback in Arizona in February.
Qualifying for the Miami event begins on Monday, 23 March.
Fellow Briton Kyle Edmund, 21, has been given a wildcard into the main draw for the men's event after rising to 153 in the world.
Robson will return with a protected ranking, allowing her to enter eight WTA tournaments in 58th - her position after the 2014 Australian Open.
She reached a career high of 27 in the world in 2013.
Heather Watson reached the BNP Paribas Open second round at Indian Wells with a nervy win over German Julia Goerges.
Watson won the first set and served for the match at 5-3 in the second but lost five games in a row as Georges took the second set and led the decider.
But the British number one rallied to win 6-4 5-7 6-3 and book a second-round meeting with 29th seed Camila Giorgi.
"I was definitely a bit nervous and it showed," said Watson, 22. "But I found the right way to finish the match."

"Seven weeks without a main draw win hardly constitutes a crisis - especially when you have just won a WTA tour title - but this was a very important win for Watson. Her nerves became apparent when she served for a straight sets win at 5-3 in the second, so full credit to her for coming through in the decider having lost four games in a row." |
British number one Heather Watson withstood a storming fightback from Camila Giorgi to reach the third round in Indian Wells for the first time.
Watson, 22, looked on course for a straightforward win at 5-0 in the second set, only for the Italian 29th seed to win five straight games.
The Briton held her nerve, however, and sealed a 7-5 7-5 victory with her sixth break of serve in the match.
Watson goes on to face seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the last 32.
"It was a very tough match as I knew it would be," said Watson. "Camila's a great player and she's shot up the rankings this past year."
Giorgi, ranked 10 places higher than Watson at 33 in the world, hit 18 double faults and 54 unforced errors in a wildly inconsistent performance.
The Italian twice went a break up in the first set but the constant flow of double faults allowed Watson to recover each time, and ultimately take it in the 12th game.
Watson was in total command as she reeled off 11 consecutive points early in the second and made it seven games in a row to lead 5-0.
With the match all but gone and the pressure off, Giorgi suddenly found her game and hauled her way back against an increasingly edgy Watson.
The Guernsey-born player was under huge pressure at 5-5, 30-30, but found an ace at the crucial moment and then broke for the sixth time to seal the win.
"I didn't feel I did much wrong [in the second set], she played too good, hitting winners and aces. I just had to stay tough and keep fighting," added Watson.
"I feel that I'm playing better and better as each match goes on and hopefully I can play even better in my next match."
What an awesome performance from Heather Watson this evening!
Must admit that even though she was a set up - when Radwanska went 4-2 in the second i was getting worried. Thankfully the fight-back was short lived!
Exceptionally good result in the last few minutes at Indian Wells and congratulations to Heather Watson
British number one Heather Watson pulled off the biggest win of her career in Indian Wells, beating Agnieszka Radwanska in straight sets.
Watson, 22, who had never previously taken a set off the Polish world number eight, won 6-4 6-4 in the third round at the BNP Paribas Open.
It is the first time that Watson, ranked 43, has beaten a player in the world's top 10.
She will face Carla Suarez Navarro (ranked 13 in the fourth round.
BBC tennis correspondent Russell Fuller
"This was a fine all-round performance from the British number one. She can take great heart in having outlasted a Wimbledon finalist in many of the baseline rallies."
Former British number one Laura Robson will not take up a wildcard into qualifying for this month's Miami Open after a 14-month injury absence.
Her agent, Max Eisenbud, says she has not suffered any setbacks and is getting "closer and closer" to making her first appearance.
Heather Watson intends to keep improving after her impressive run at Indian Wells ended with a frustrating loss to Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro in the last 16.
The British number one served for the first set and forced a decider, but went down 7-6 (7-5) 3-6 6-1.
Watson, 22, had beaten seventh seed Agnieszka Radwanska in round three.
"I need to learn what I need to do better next time, stay positive and keep improving," she said.
Suarez Navarro, ranked 30 places above Watson as the world number 13, will play third seed Simona Halep or 14th seed Karolina Pliskova in the last eight.
Despite the fourth-round defeat, Watson has still enjoyed one of the best weeks of her career and will collect ÂĢ40,000 and 120 ranking points as she looks to surpass her career high of 38 in the world.
She told BBC Radio 5 live: "I had my chances but wasn't able to take them. I gave it my absolute best, everything I had, I just wasn't the better player."
I think her ranking will improve by a couple of places and she won't quite reach her high of 38. However the tournament in Miami starts next week and unless she loses her first round match her ranking will improve.
A good week for Heather Watson and certainly no shame in losing to a consistent top 20 player like Suarez Navarro.
British number one Heather Watson recovered to beat Russia's Evgeniya Rodina 3-6 6-1 7-5 in a gruelling first-round match at the Miami Open.
In hot and humid conditions, the 22-year-old world number 41 went behind to the 26-year-old, ranked 96, who had won both their previous matches.
Having levelled, Watson saw a 5-2 lead in the decider disappear before finally winning in two hours and 23 minutes.
She will play 13th seed Angelique Kerber of Germany in round two.
Watson, who lost in three sets to Kerber at Wimbledon last year, was 4-0 down within 15 minutes against Rodina, committing 20 unforced errors in the opening set.
But she prevailed after showing impressive determination in some energy-sapping rallies.
"I think both of us were feeling the same, it was just who could stick it out mentally and fight through the conditions," she said.
Regarding Kerber, Watson added: "We had a close match at Wimbledon, she's a very consistent, tough competitor so I will definitely have to up my game."
British wildcard Kyle Edmund was beaten by qualifier Robin Haase in the men's singles.
The 20-year-old British number three lost 6-2 6-2 to the world number 98 from the Netherlands.
Kerber eventually won 7-5 3-6 6-4
Heather Watson is proving that she can hold her own against the top players.
Heather Watson is in the Family Circle Cup in Charleston which starts tomorrow. It's the last American tournament before the start of the season in Europe.
Her first round opponent is Donna Vekic, ranked 85. Whoever wins will play the winner of the match between Edina Gallovits-Hall, ranked 301, and Madison Brengle, ranked 44.
Not good.
British number one Heather Watson suffered a first-round defeat by Croatia's Donna Vekic at the clay-court Family Circle Cup in Charleston, USA.
Watson, seeded 16th and ranked 67 places above Vekic at 41st, lost 6-3 4-6 7-5 in two hours and 36 minutes.
The Briton twice led by a break in the final set and had looked on course for victory serving at 4-3, 40-0.
It was only a third win of 2015 for 18-year-old Vekic, who has slipped outside the top 100 from a high of 62 in 2013.
Former British number one Laura Robson hopes to make her return from 15 months out with injury at May's French Open.
The 21-year-old, who had wrist surgery a year ago, has not played since the 2014 Australian Open.
But she has used her protected ranking to gain direct entry into Roland Garros, which begins on 19 May.
Laura Robson's protected ranking of 58 means that she would go straight into the main draw of the French Open rather than having to go through the qualifying stages. Doesn't mean than she goes straight back to be ranked 58. She had no ranking points at present and it will take time to get back into the top 100 unless
Not a good start to the European season for Heather Watson. Won't help in her quest to be in the top 32 for seeding purposes for the French Open.
British number one Heather Watson was knocked out in the first round of the Prague Open by Slovenia's world number 72 Polona Hercog.
Watson, who is 40th in the world rankings, lost 7-5 3-6 7-6 (7-5) in a match lasting more than three hours.
The 22-year-old, who won her second WTA title in January, was 3-0 up in the final-set tie-break but was broken three times by Hercog, 24.
Heather Watson's poor start to the European season continues.
British number one Heather Watson failed to convert six match points as she lost to Colombia's world number 110 Marina Duque-Marino at the Madrid Open.
Watson, ranked 40th, had three match points on serve at 6-5 in the decider and another three in the tie-break but went down 0-6 6-3 7-6 (13-11).
Duque-Marino goes on to face third seed Maria Sharapova in the second round.
The winner's trophy at the Aegon Open in Nottingham has been named in honour of Elena Baltacha.
Baltacha died from liver cancer on 4 May 2014, aged 30, four months after announcing her retirement from playing.
Husband Nino Severino said: "It's very touching that the British tennis family is remembering her this way."
The newly commissioned trophy - a silver bowl - will be played for at the new WTA event which runs from 6-14 June at Nottingham Tennis Centre.
Born in Ukraine, Baltacha moved to the UK after her footballer father Sergei joined Ipswich Town from Dynamo Kiev in the late 1980s.
He subsequently moved his career and family to Scotland, where Elena spent her teenage years.
Her tennis career began in 1997 and she won 11 ITF events and battled injury and illness before her retirement.
She had returned to living in Ipswich by the time of her passing.
Great Britain's Fed Cup captain Judy Murray said: "She was one of the best competitors I ever saw and had a lot of success at the Nottingham event.
"I know she would be thrilled with this."
Former British number one Laura Robson will miss this month's French Open as her 16-month injury lay-off continues.
Robson, 21, had wrist surgery 13 months ago and has not played since the 2014 Australian Open.
She initially used her protected ranking to gain direct entry into Roland Garros, which begins on 24 May.
However, Robson is now understood to be exploring the possibility of returning in one of the British grass-court events before Wimbledon.
Robson reached a career-high ranking of 27 in the world in July 2013, but since then she has struggled with problems in both of her wrists.
She no longer has a world ranking but will be able to enter eight WTA tournaments under a protected ranking of 58 - her position in the standings when she last played.
The 2008 Wimbledon junior champion will also be able to take up any wildcards offered by tournaments.
Heather Watson reached the second round of the Italian Open by beating Roberta Vinci (ranked 44) 6-3 6-1.
Briton Watson, 22, broke the Italian twice to claim the first set before comprehensively taking the second.
The world number 41, who went out in the first round of the Madrid Open this month, faces Carla Suarez Navarro (ranked 10) next.
Heather Watson's ranking is likely to fall unless she wins at least the next 2 games in this tournament as this time last year she won the Prague tournament and those points will drop our.
Draw for the French Open shows that Heather Watson's first round opponent is Mathilde Johansson (given a wildcard by the French).
The winner will face either Sloane Stephens or Venus Williams in the second round.
Too early to know if Johanna Konta is through to the main draw and who she would meet in the first round.
Johanna Konta, 24, came through qualifying and tested Czech Denise Allertova, the world number 88, before going down 7-6 (19-17) 4-6 6-2.
The Briton missed eight set points in a first set tie-break which lasted an extraordinary 36 points, and Allertova dominated the decider.
"I've obviously played many tie-breakers in my career so far," said Konta. "Unfortunately I couldn't come though that set. She did better than I did."
Heather Watson, 23, went into her match against Johansson as the favourite, with the Frenchwoman ranked 228 and benefiting from a wild card.
The 30-year-old began aggressively, firing winners, but could not maintain that level and the steadier Watson prevailed in one hour and 29 minutes winning 6-4, 7-5.
"I think I dealt with the important moments and points well today," said Watson.
"I felt from the first ball she was playing very well, especially returning very well, and hitting a lot of winners.
"But I knew she was going to, so I just made sure I stayed there, because I was also expecting some errors as well."
Watson will now play American Sloane Stephens, 22, who beat 2002 Paris finalist Venus Williams 7-6 6-1.
Good result for Heather after a slow start yesterday.
I see Bouchard (seeded 6) has crashed out in the first round.
Britain's Heather Watson went out in round two of the French Open for the fourth time in five years with defeat by Sloane Stephens.
The American, ranked five places higher at 40, won 6-2 6-4 on Court Seven.
Watson, 23, dropped serve five times as she was convincingly beaten in one hour and 10 minutes.
It was Stephens' first victory over Watson in five meetings and takes her through to meet Bulgaria's Tsvetana Pironkova.
Stephens, 22, came into the match off the back of a first-round win over Venus Williams and dominated Watson from the outset.
She broke serve twice to lead 3-0 within just eight minutes and clinched the set with a rasping forehand down the line that Carlos Bernardes confirmed was good, much to Watson's annoyance.
Watson fought back from a break down to level at 4-4 in the second but was then broken to love, and a wayward forehand on match point gave Stephens victory.
Bad result for Heather Watson - she had beaten Sloane Stephens in all 4 matches they had previously met. The result will see her ranking slip further down from 45 to around 49.
