(Preview)
It's confirmed that they'll play in an exhibition in Malaysia on 22nd November, on indoor carpet "Roger is a true class act," said Sampras. "He is obviously a great player but his manners on and off the court set him apart just as much." They practised earlier in the year at Sampr...

More sad exits await unless Nadal changes his game
(Preview)
FEW PEOPLE were on hand in the tunnel at Flushing Meadows to witness one of the saddest tales in the history of the US Open. However, the vision of Rafael Nadal hobbling away after his exit from this years tournament took my mind back 26 years. It was 1981. I was a 16-year-old playing in the junior competi...

US Open Day 6
(Preview)
Sharapova is out in 3 sets to Radwanska, what a performance from the Pole. Certainly is the earliest exit for Sharapova in a slam for a long while. So there's certainly going to be a new US Open women's champ. I for one just cannot stand Sharapova and her screaming after every return and serve just so anno...

Is it worth calling in a few favours to watch Juniors and Seniors matches, or should I let this go by. I'd appreci...

The BBC tennis editor answers questions sent in

How much influence does the BBC have on the order of play each day? All broadcasters can put their requests for when they would like a match to be played via official systems at the club and those are then passed on to the referee's office. Clearly as host broadcaster, the BBC would like to feel we have a go...

Henman - Moya
(Preview)
What do you think about Tim's chances against Moya? Moya can be dangerous on grass. Tim's form is a little unpredictable but I think he is still a great grass court player. My tip Tim in 4.

Who is going to be heading to the All England Club in a couple of weeks to watch the odd hitabout? What day will you be going? Have you got show-court tickets or are you slumming it with the proles and queueing for a ground pass? I'm pretty certain that I'm going to go in on the Monday. I'm going to Glatonbury...
