With James Ward and potentially Kyle Edmund about to start playing in South America I have to confess I have little or no understanding of how the South American season fits into the rest of the ATP tour. There are the 250s in Ecuador and Sao Paulo followed by a 500 in Rio and a 250 in BA all in February and t...

In the first Q draw that was put up, Joel was top Q seed. But now the top two spots of the draw are both BYEs. So no seed 1, nor opponent. I'm hoping this means that Joel has been moved into the main draw (along with Jamie W, Richard, Bambo, Alex Jhun, and Robbie R). Meanwhile: QR1:Maniel BAINS (GBR) 6-3 6-...
