Everyone likes to quote the Serbs when talking about British tennis but it seems they are much more organised than given credit for. Perhaps LTA should have recruited Serbian coaches instead of the 'mega buck' ones that they did. :- Serbian tennis taking the systematic approach By JEFFREY DUNHAM A...

I came across this on the ITF website. The finals of the last two Brazil Futures have both been between Rogerio Silva, 24, and his younger brother, Daniel Silva, 20. Two weeks ago, Rogerio won the final 6-0 6-1 and last week Rogerio won again but only by 6-1 6-7(2) 6-0. Rogerio has in fact won his last 22 ma...

Only one entry so far, but it's notable for a pic of him trying on his father's glasses and looking about 80 (!) and for the revelation that the Philipp Davydenko who lost in QR1 at Portschach is his 15-year-old nephew and sometime hitting partner. http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/blog/davydenko.a...

Becomes only the tenth 15 year old to win a Tour main draw match in the history of tennis. The last person to do this was Nadal when he beat Ramon Delgado in Mallorca in 2002. And a hell of a win this is, too. He has beaten Pablo Cuevas in straight sets, who's a fine player on slow surfaces. He happen...

For example Tim , 2 rounds, Roddick or Andy, 3 rounds, Nadal or Boggo , wins , beatin...

Just watched the last set and a bit of Tsonga beating Youzhny in straights. 7-5 6-0 7-6(6) He is just so talented and a joy to watch. Reminds me of Murray in 05/06 He now plays Nadal and what a match it will be. So beating Murray was no big fluke...he has beaten Gasguet and now Youzhny. What bet he makes the fi...
