128 man, 4 round qualifying draw out, and once again Luke and James are drawn in the same section, meaning only 1 can theoretically qualify. You couldn't make this up! 3 times out of 3 this scenario has occurred on this trip......i.e. 2 Brits drawn together.....not that it ever mattered, since only Ky...

Apologies for the lack of prior notice (though happily there are still about 70 hours before entries close!), since we only decided at the last minute that we are going to run a BOTB for the AO this year. I am unlikely to have a big enough block of free time early next week to get all the results pages up and r...

Both Brits have drawn unseeded clay court specialists, which is about as good as we could have hoped for as far as QR1 is concerned.

Could this be one of the most competitive qualifying tournaments of all time to reach a $10k main draw, which in turn is one of the most overly competitive main draws I've ever seen. 4 rounds of matches just to qualify and just look at some of the names. And the next 2 USA futures events look very similar in...

I can't find the qualifying drawsheet yet, but the OoP on the app suggests Colin is having a go at qualifying here: QR1: Colin Fleming UNR v Michal Mertinak (SVK) WR 854 (CH 129 in 2005)

Josh Goodall beat Dan Evans 6-4, 6-2 in the final. A really strong line up here, lets hope plenty are played in for next weeks first futures.

Since no-one else has stepped up to the plate, here be this year's ranking prediction competition. I've made some changes to the rules in order to try and make each player's performance have an equal contribution to your score regardless of their current ranking, and to mitigate the effects of injur...

I've revised my 10 random predictions for GB men in 2013 downwards a little, after the last week's juniors and Team Aegon announcements. Still rose-tinted spectacles and overly optimistic, but I hope some successes worthy of Paul the Octopus. 1. Andy Murray WILL be a winner at Wimbledon, a finalist...

Just seen that Kyle Edmund has been nominated as one of the 10 contenders for Junior Sports Personality of the Year. Sadly, the winner is decided by a panel of "experts" and so we can't vote for him. Wouldn't it be great to see Muzza and Kyle do the double. Tough year to win though !!

I seem to have missed a change, can anyone help with a link or an explanation. Do ATP players now get points for losing in the qualies? Ive read hints of this but cant seem to find the actual rule. Cheers

It's been the best year in memory for slam titles (obviously!) and Futures titles, but the worst year I can remember (so far!) for Brits in Challengers (singles) and only the 2nd year this century (but also the 2nd in the last three years) when we have had no Challenger singles finalists - indeed, Jame...
