(Preview)
Was planning to start a new thread anyway, but FD on the men's doubles thread has saved me a lot of typing! Just noticed that Auckland/Baltacha have a potential mixed doubles match tomorrow so the draw must be out for that.... and so it is [slightly edited] Bloomers/Borwell vs. Calleri/Kanepi Auckla...

Week 27 - Futures F25 (15k) - Alicante, Spain
(Preview)
The Wardinator was the 2nd alternate for the main draw on the last update and everyone in qualifying is ranked below him, so I reckon both SE places got freed up and he scraped a DA. QR1: Antoni Gomez UNR v Marco Garcia-Koch (ESP) UNR QR1: Charlie Goode UNR v Thomas Dehaen (BEL) UNR QR1: Gary Chamberlain...

A few pics from Wimby day 3

Here are just a few pics and comments from the four main matches I saw on Wednesday before it got too dark to think about taking any more photos, since if I don't do anything with them now, I probably never will. I still have a blog from day 2 at Queen's to do too, but that'll have to wait until we have a lean per...

I'm really suprised that we don't seem to have a knowlege of any brits travelling out to the final main tour grass grass court tournament of the season. Last year, there were space in the qualifying draw, there probably will be again this year. I certainly think Chris Eaton should - he'll be able to aff...

Boggo is the first Brit male to enter the lists in SW19: his match against Simone Bolelli is the second on Court 11 tomorrow. No head-to-head, as they've never played one another before. Fingers crossed & hard...!
