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...

The Australian Open and the US Open both have it and the atmosphere is great, and therefore the tounament all the better for it.

Has a bye in round one, will face either Tim van Terheijden or Mischa Nowicki in round two, and is seeded to face Ante Pavic, ranked 577 in the final round. 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,...

I've replaced another section of the original (th...
