Goodall v Mathieu
(
1 2 3 4
)
(Preview)
Its worth noting that Mathieu's form on hard court has been dreadful. He has won some matches on clay, including a couple of rounds at the French, but the last time he won on a surface other than clay was in Indian Wells at the start of March. He was knocked out in the first round of Quee...

Goodall v. Llodra
(

(Preview)
It would be great to see Josh win, but it wont be easy. Llodra is having a poor year by his standards, his biggest result of the year being an SF in a challenger, but reached the 4th round at the US Open in 2004, so he obviously feels comfortable here.
Anyway, lets hope that Jos...

A really tough rd1 match for Richard against the veteran Czech 25th seed.
Zib is ranked 139 but this time last year he was 51 in the world. He has beaten Henman in the past indoors but is most at home on clay.
In Jan and early Feb he reached 2 challenger finals but since then he's been on a very bad run...
