2013 Australian Open BOTB pick 'em contest

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...

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'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...

Sports Personality of the Year
(

(Preview)
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 !!
