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. I understand that the council says that matches can't go on beyond 11pm but i'm sure Wi...

Week 27 - Challenger (€42,500) - Scheveningen, Holland (Clay)
(

(Preview)
Morgan Phillips turns up here in qualifying and perhaps a little surprisingly has ended up as the 2nd seed. 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...

2009 or 2010...What was the better year for GB Tennis (Compare up to Week 27)
(Preview)
This thread is sort of like a half-term report (just off should have been done in Wk 26 not 27 but we've had a great week this week) on the performance of GB tennis players. 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,...

Flemski's coming home ...
(Preview)
Since it's beginning to look like Boggo may not actually be coming home (for DC) for quite a while, I was thinking on the way home from Wimbledon yesterday that it might be time for a rewrite of my infamous version of a certain football song, so here it is. I've replaced another section of the original (th...
