Alan Mills - comments on GB tennis
(Preview)
Every year at Queen's, I go to the bookshop and pick up a tennis book. Last year it was Neil Harman's book about Tigger and Greg, "Duel for the Crown", which was a good read.

(Preview)
Tournament Key : M-FU-NOR-01A-2008 Dates : 09 Jun to 14 Jun 2008 Venue : Gausdal, Norway Surface : Hard Ed Seator should be one of the top seeds here. Matt Illingworth and Phillip Barlow on the alts list. Barlow is on a few Alts list so will have to see where he pops up. My bet is in Spain.

Only four Brits in qualifying - it doesn't say Slabba is a WC but he must be because the last QDA is WR 268. That makes the fourth WC a monumental waste and he's got by far the best draw too. Having said that, Surbiton Q draw looked almost as hard as this! QR1: (WC) Alex Slabinsky WR 334 v (q2) Gilles Muller (L...

It seems at least the LTA at least had the decency to let Ross Hutchins know he wasn't getting a wild card into Queens, and he has turned up in Poland with James Cerretani. First round they face Oscar Hernandez & Albert Montanes.
