'Times' interview with Jamie Murray

One of the few I've seen today to mention what was arguably a more significant victory than Andy's over Karlo! Safety in numbers for the Murray clan Neil Harman, Tennis Correspondent in Indian Wells, California He bounds towards you, the familiar ten-to-two gait, the mesh of curls, freckles and tee...

James Auckland
(Preview)
A poor loss for James this week. He has had no regular partner this year, has fallen a lot in the rankings, am I the only one who thinks he may be the next to pack it in?

I see what CourtCrazy meant about Candna F2 being much stronger than F1 - Ross, Kyle, Timothy & Jonathan were seeded 1, 4, 6 & 9 in qualifying last week. I can only assume it's because there is no Future in the US next week now that the set of three in Texas has ended, though having said that, out of t...

Who will end the year at Brit No2

after following last nights, ultimately dissapointing, matches wanted to do a quick poll of who we think will be the Brit No2 at the end of the year. i think there is a strong possibility that Jamie will overtake Alex around easter time as Alex has a lot of points to come off but then after Wimby Alex has al...

Jamie Murray and Max Mirnyi are up against Johannson and Lindstedt in R1 here. Benneteau and Llodra are the seeds in their quarter. A semi- final against Bjorkman and Ullyett would be nice for Max.

To all our reliefs, Richard is in the main draw for this event, coming out against 7th seed Gary Lugassy. If he can get past him, his quarter looks fairly decent. I presume Ken will have travelled with Richard to continue their doubles team(?)
