Week 14 Futures - USA F8 ($15k) - Little Rock, AR

Week 12 - Challenger (EURO 42,500) - Jersey, UK
(
First … Last »
)
(Preview)
I think it's about time we had a thread for this. Joining Boggo, Wardy and Bloomers in the main draw with wildcards are Cox, Evans, Fleming and Milton. Turning up in qualies should be Eaton, Marray, Skupski and Thornley. There would appear to be the prospect of livescores here.

Entering ATP Challengers
(Preview)
I hear that the entry procedure for ATP Challengers has changed? What are the changes? Do you have to enter via an entry form beforehand, if so where can these be obtained from? Can you still sign in for qualies to see if you get in? Cheers guys...

Week 12 - Challenger (€30,000+H) - Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina
(Preview)
I said I thought Aucks might have retired a little too early I think because he has turned up here with Rogier Wassen (NED) and they are the top seeds and the favourites to take the title. In the first round they face Marius Copil & Ivo Klec (ROU/SVK).
