The seeds are dropping like flies.... Soderling knocked out Davydenko, and Mahut(!) has just added to Ljubicic's horrible start to 2007. This added to Djokovic's exit on Monday...

They're starting to introduce Hawkeye into more tour events which is great

Dubai will be using it for the ATP and WTA events there. No surprise really as Dubai is one of the richest tournaments. I wonder when Queens will get it ? I love Hawkeye, think it's great for the game...hopefully...

The ATP Houston event this year will be held on green clay, first ATP event to be held on the surface. It's to cut costs. Green clay is made from crushed stone and is a tiny bit faster than the red stuff and has a more uniform bounce.

Just as the use of ultra-skinny 'size zero' models have been the talking point of London Fashion Week, there are also concerns within women's tennis about body image. Zina Garrison, a former Wimbledon finalist and a "recovering bulimic", suggested last night that the obs...

I see the American young hope, Donald Young, has just been double bagelled in Miami by Carlos Berlocq of Argentina. That'll be 9 WCs to ATP events and still to win a set. He's 16 and only played 3 Challenger events in addition to the 9 ATP ( includes US Open and 4 Masters Series events ) so...

Just wondered how well everyone thought Serena will do in the coming fortnight Impressive win today though she didn't have to do particularly much, her serving was of a high standard and she hit some great backhands. Next up for Serena is Anne Kremer (who surprisingly beat Michaella Kraijc...

Starts in approx 3 hours time Serena Williams v Maria Sharapova Does anyone think Serena can pull off a shock upset here ?

Sheddie · Sheddie

So another incredible performance from Federer, dispatching Roddick 6-4, 6-0, 6-2. After their previous 3 matches in the USO final, Masters cup and Kooyong I thought it would be really close, maybe even a 5 set classic especially given how Roddick won in Kooyong on exactly the same surface. Howeve...

Well its looking like The Fed has another chance to win 4 slams back to back, as at the moment u cant see past him for the AO title, but i was wondering if he won all 4 in a year, or 4 in a sequence, would he be happy if raffa missed the FO when he won it? i think a lot would be taken away from his achivment, same as wi...

Started a new thread, but I'm off to bed soon! Just to start, play not started, except on covered courts, due to rain. Grosjean leads Nalbadian one set to love and 4-4 on the Vodafone. Sharapova beat Garbin 6-3, 6-1. Air conditioning on Vodafone appears to have packed up. Grosjean and Nalbandian l...

Azarenka Jankovic should be interesting. How many games will Djoko lose tonight? I'm going for 8.

Keith · Keith

Thought I'd open a post for anyone staying up to watch tonight's action. I'll probably be watching Hingis in the first match, but will be keeping an eye on the Chela/Nieminen score. Anyway, just thought it might be a good idea to have a post where those of us staying up can chat until we get to Andy's match...
