Has anyone else here completed the LTA survey? (can't find it on their site, but I got emailed about it with a link that looks like it might be unique to the email address it's sent to so I probably can't post it here) The reason I ask is that one question asks you "Which of these benefits pof British Te...

Thanks to Johnnylad for preparing this section : Best Male Player of the Year 2008 Andy Murray became one of the big 4 this year. Back to back Masters Series titles, a maiden Grand Slam final and some fantastic wins over Nadal, Federer and Djokovic. He has added extra bulk to his physique, zip to his serv...

Looks like a repeat of last week: Jonny Marray in the MD & the usual three suspects (Colin Fleming, Josh Milton & David Rice) in the qualies.

Shhh · Shhh

The masters of the British Tour are on (good to see Fitzy there). Its not the strongest line up though, only one or two ranked players ever compete in most events during the year. Yet that is how the LTA describe it, "an important stepping stone between juniors and senior ranking events". ...

Most Improved Male Player...by Johnnylad / Drew James Ward has navigated one of the difficult barriers of men's professional tennis. Moving from 500 to 275 in one year has been a hard slog with tournament appearances nearly every week, but where in the past he may go deep one week and straight out the n...

Some of you may already be aware, but Ross is taking the off-season very seriously - he's following much the same training schedule as Muzza in Miami, see e.g. http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/466 http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/467 http://www.andymurray.com/news/arti...

It was a great shame that Jamie B was unable to reach the final to give himself a chance of taking his first title for a good few months in Santo Domingo earlier today, but it looks as though he's staying in the Dominican Republic for another week: he's on the entry list for next week's tournament, though...
