Jonny Marray
(Preview)
Am I right in saying that there used to be a poster on here claiming to be Jonny Marray?
I had a chat with him at Nottingham today, and asked him if he'd been on this site recently and he said no he'd never contributed to any website although he had looked at BTZ.
I'm sure there used to be a poster who ...

Calabasas 50k Challenger
(Preview)
Jamie Baker number 1 seed in qualifying.
Plays Daniel Yoo in first round who hasn't won a match at challenger level all year, mainly playing at future level. Yoo is ranked 497, over 200 places below Baker. Should be a win for Baker really. Any idea if this match has already been played?

Boggo vs Tipsarevic
(
1 2 3 4

(Preview)
The Final of the challnger in Mons. Play to start at 2 oclock BST so in just over 5 minutes. I think if Boggo can make a bright start Tipsarevic will get fustrated and fluster but it will be a big match and one that Boggo needs to win if he wants to be in the top 100 come the end of the year as he is not playing next w...

As some of you know, I do a table on the Rusedski message board that tracks the rankings, whereabouts and progress of GB players in the top 500, so I couldn't help but notice this week that we are back down to just 14 players in the top 500 after hitting a high of 20 for just one week in late Octob...

Peter Norfolk

Surprised it's not been covered on here already (maybe has but I can't find it) but Peter Norfolk has just claimed his 4th US Open title in the Quad Singles Main Draw.
Would it be fair to say that he is the best tennis player Britain actually has considering that he is dominant in his particular class?
