To Konta or not to count her?

Excuse the dreadful pun in the title but at least it got your attention. I haven't been including Johanna in the GB top 25 table or in the GB successes table this year because I haven't known whether to count her as British while she waits for citizenship to come through or not, particularly when it seem...

New ranking system in 2009
(

(Preview)
In the latest edition of Shark Bites, the ATP has finally trickled out a bit more info on the new ranking system for 2009 - now wonder they seem to be trying to hide it away. Would it be possible for you to explain how the transition from the old to the new points system is going to work? Will all the points at t...

ATP Rankings

I'm sure many of you use the function on the ATP site to search the rankings by country, to see all the ranked Brits in one list. I noticed tonight that you can search by "Scotland" although no results show up. I wonder why this is? Surely it should either show Andy, Jamie B et al. or not be there....
