Week 21 - Futures F14 (10k) - Parma, Italy
(Preview)
QR1: Thomas Deighton UNR v Artem Strunnikov (RUS) WR 1719 Theee are just two qualifying rounds here, but the player seeded to qualify in this section only having one ranking point. I wonder where Morgan Phillips has got to - he hasn't used a PR the last two weeks or turned up in qualifying.

Edward Seator cracks the top 500!
(Preview)
He may not have added any points to his total since the end of March (when we had a bit of a false alarm that he might have made it), but thanks to Pierrick Ysern, Christian Magg, Andrei Mlendea, Pedro Clar, Vladimir Obradovic, Hun-Woo Nam and Dusan Lojda (down 361 to 734!) all failing to defend points an...

Wimbledon WC's
(Preview)
Haven't seen a thread for this in the mens bit. What do people think is going to happen? Aparantly the guys know they have to be top 250 and with Jamie out no one else currently qualifies. What will the LTA/AELTC do? Surely there has to be more than just Andy in the singles MD? Or do they teach the guys a lesso...

Week 20 - Futures F2 (10K) - Heraklion, Crete - Ken Skupski's first title!
(

(Preview)
Number 1 seed in qualies is Ken Skupski, who I imagine forgot to enter/ chose to enter late, and is ranked 500 places above anyone else in the draw. Also in Qualies is Jonny Marray currently playing without a ranking but you would think pretty certain to reach the main draw of thise fairly weak event. So g...

The Count has suggested that despite the disappearance of the card I sent from some of us to Castelldefells for a certain Mr Dee, maybe we should try again by sending one to Jamie.
