Aucks is playing with Delgado, they're the 3rd seeds and could do with making the final given that they're defending points from winning the title in 2005.
In rd1 they play wildcards Tobias Clemens and another German geezer called Forster. Shouldn't be too tricky but danger lurks in the quarter...
Andy's been shoved out to Court 1 again. Looks like he's gonna have to win another match if he wants to be televised this week. -- Edited by Drew at 23:18, 2006-11-01
just wondering how many people here listen to the band and what their thoughts are on the new album, i know its only just out but my inital feelings are that it isnt quite up to the same lvl as hot fuss, which imo had 5 1/2 outstanding tracks (Jenny, Brightside, Somebody, All These, Midnight, 1/2 is for the...
Talk about our esteemed host changing his name to Ultimate GabashviliFan has led me to think about something that's been bothering me for some time.
Isnt the very nature of the Ultimate Fan that you are loyal to the object of your fandom forsaking all others and in all ways being worthy of...
Just copied this from AM v DH thread, what do you lot think will happen next year?
Predictions: 4th round of all GS, with a maiden QF somewhere. Final in two masters series and 3 ATP titles! Just miss out on qualification on Masters Cup! (lets hope he does make it!) -- Edited by VSandhi20 at 21:06, 2006-...
in a suprising result Wes Moodie lost 64 64 to german qualifer phipl petzchner, who won 2 matches in straight sets to qualify abd benefitted from a w/o in the final round to make the main draw.
I am sure Alex will be pleased to see moodie not lining up opposite him tomorrrow, but wil...
Chela won his first round match when Srichaphan retired with the score at 6-3 3-0.
Hopefully with this match we will see Andy get revenge for the AO defeat by Chela!

Chris Llewellyn qualified to join Graeme Dyce and Michael Thompson in the main draw
Dyce is the 5th seed and plays American Yohansey Williams in rd1. If he reaches the quarters [as he's seeded to do] and wins a round in doubles, he'll be back in the top 100. He slipped out again due to inactivity.
...
Jade Curtis is the 3rd seed. She plays American Allie Will in rd1. She should reach the semis here, at least.
For some reason Anna Fitzpatrick is playing here, I've no idea why she's taken to playing junior tournaments instead of futures; unless she can't play any more senior tournaments this yea...

He's one lucky guy. He only got into the quals for Paris as a late replacement for Mahut. Won one game. Lost in the final qual round, but now finds himself thru to the second round of the main draw as an LL replacement for Fed (with a first round bye of course).
He'll probably get a w/o next ...
The Englishman was forced to turn down the offer of a wild card from tournament director Cedric Pioline last Friday.
It was a shame I had to say no, Henman continued. I would have loved to have gone back to Paris where I won the event in 2003 but the knee was too sore at that stage to say yes.
From LTA...

London has been backed to host the ATP's season-ending Masters Cup by its chairman Etienne De Villiers.
Shanghai's deal to stage the event runs out in 2008, after which De Villiers said it is likely to return to Europe.
He said: "It's an open process, but I'd love it to go to London in the run-up...
Well today I was thinking of an idea.. As I have Smash Court Tennis Pro Tournament 2 on my PS2 and well while I was playing career mode, that why not do another one but write a story about the player I am on its career, on here. Just like when people write their stories when they play the likes of Football Mana...
Simon Childs 18 won his first ATP Futures title when he won the Mexico F19 Doubles today. The score 7-6 6-4. His partner was an Icelandic dude. Obviously a great combination as they were semi finalists in the previous Future in Mexico.

20 year old Stakhovsky is ranked 159. He and Auckland have played once before. James won 6-4, 6-2 in rd2 of the 2004 Togliatti challenger.
