Bloomfields Comments
(Preview)
If you haven't heard it, there's a short audio of Richards thoughts on the BBC site http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8812797.stm His comments seem to touch on something that I have thought for a long time and is often mentioned here, the lack of structure to the funding system. Sometimes...

Now that Center Court has a roof, does anyone else agree that it is time for night matches? The Australian Open and the US Open both have it and the atmosphere is great, and therefore the tounament all the better for it.

Should qualify here which will be a great b...

By this time last year, we had two challenger winners in Dan Evans (Jersey) and James Ward (Savannah) whilst Cox had won a 15k future,...
