Jamie Baker - The return part 2?
(Preview)
Does anyone know when Jamie Baker is likely to return to the circuit? I'm hoping he can get a run of 18 - 24 months with no serious injuries/illness...would be good to see him back to his form of 18 months ago!

Evo isn't in qualifying this week (we may yet find that he got a main draw WC, of course) but I'm sure lots of people here will be glad to see a certain MP in the qualifying draw ... all to be revealed in the next post in a few minutes.

How do you think our new "King of Clay" James Ward would fare against the British No. 1 on his least favoured service? Would Ward take a set off Andy?

Where is Dan Evans?
(Preview)
Is he on holiday or something? After his ankle injury he played two rounds of qualifying in Ostrava before qualifying and reaching the 2nd round of Edinburgh and now he isn't entered into anything for the next few weeks. Where is he?

The Wardinator was 6th Alt here, but one advantage of qualifying starting on Friday here is that he should get an SE since he's still in the Balaguer Future. More good news too - the 'dream team' are i...

Hutch & Huss are trying their luck here. They are seeded 3 and in the 1st round their opponents will be Levinsky & Scherrer (CZE/SUI). They are due to meet Nestor & Zimonjic (CAN/SRB), the top seeds, at the semi-final stage. Fingers crossed they get that far.

Jamie M has turned up here with Pavel Vizner in tow. I think they have partnered up once (?) before, without too much success. First-round match is against this week's conquerors of Aucks & Goody, Petzschner & Peya, who are the 3rd seeds. That'll be a good 'un to win.
