Following tennis is far easier now than a decade or so ago when I first became interested. Then it was as though tournaments were to be held in secret and various obstacles were put in the way and whoa betide anyone who wanted to know results or where and when players might be playing. Though things have...

L32: Ed Corrie WR 746 v (WC) Pedro Guimarães (BRA) UNR The winner is likely to face top seed Romboli in R2.

Recently being inside the top 250 by the time Queens came around made you eligible for a Wimbledon WC (though didn't mean it was automatic by any means). Regardless of whether it leads to the valuable WC or not, top 250 by then would be a decent goal for a few of our players. Interestingly enough, sever...

Oli is a DA here, so he will have one last chance to nick the year-end top GB teenager in the ATP rankings spot from Lewis Burton - he will need to reach the semis to overtake him though and the QFs to tie Liam's points total for 2nd place in that mini-contest.

Ed Corrie returns to action with a kind-looking R1 draw against an unranked 16-year-old. L32: Edward Corrie WR 746 v (WC) Caio Rocha Martins (BRA) UNR There is also a 14yo Brazilian WC here by the name of João Lucas Magalhães Hueb de Menezes ...

L32: Matthew Short WR 816 v (Q) Maciej Smola (POL) WR 962 Smola lost to Jack Carpenter in Poland earlier this year, so a decent R1 draw for Matthew, though the winner is likely to face no. 2 seed Daniel Garza (MEX) WR 376, who won the title last week, or an unranked Dutchman who qualified last week then re...

L32: Matthew Short WR 816 v Chris Letcher (AUS) WR 580 Letcher, who lost 3 & 2 to Jamie B at the Leon Challenger in April, only just missed being seeded so it's not as good a R1 draw as Matthew might have hoped for in what is a relatively weak tournament.

Of the four Brits on the Alt list here, only Josh Milton has turned up. A pity in a way because half the players in the qualifying draw are unranked Finns.
