This match will take place fourth on court 1 with an 11am start local time. However two of the first three matches are doubles which should take less time.
A little bit of a contrast from Qualifying in Glasgow...
Q1: Lucy WARBURTON (GBR) (4) defeated Folashade OGUNSHOLA (NGR, UR) 60 60
Q2: Lucy WARBURTON (GBR) (4) defeated Beauty OGHENEKEVWE (NGR, UR) 61 60
I think Lucy has harder qualifying battles..... can't help but think this would be bette...
Time for wild predictions for 2006.
I can't see any more brits breaking into the top 100 in 2006. You either need to be incredibly talented and benefit from a large number of wildcards or you need to be very consistent at Challenger level. Right now we don't have anyone in either category though a few p...
TMS Madrid : Rd3 : Murray v Djokovic This is a match I have been waiting for all year....with ND ranked at 16 with Andy at 19 and both on form it should be a cracker...Andy must be feeling great after today....Andy in 3 for me again !

I thought it might be a bit of fun to have a thread for posting amusing newspaper headlines/articles in.
I'll start:
This one was in my local newspaper: "As Bird flu hits France, RSPB advises residents to keep their eyes open !!"
From the Telegraph:
There has been a complaint to the Aust...
My reply to the question, what's Vico like.
He's comfortable coming in to the net, quite a decent serve, pretty powerful forehand. The biggest thing with him is he blows very hot and cold, so can beat Baghdatis one week and then lose to Miles Kasiri the next (which he did last autumn in Southampton and...
This match starts shortly.
Waske is ranked 117, career high if 89 which he reached in June this year. He's never played Alan but he has a 2-0 losing record against Boggo, both matches were indoors.
He's played mainly ATPs all year, his best result came a couple of weeks ago in Tokyo when he reach...

So an easy 1st round win for Andy...now is the step up....we all hope that Ivan will be suffering from his excellent run of form after his early exit from the USO.
If Andy plays to his best then he may have a chance. Going for AM in 3 2-6 7-5 7-6 ! -- Edited by Drew at 22:57, 2006-10-16
Mike is the coach of Boggo and Mackin, he's currently in Kolding and I had a chat with him this evening.
This is what he said on the Mackin match:
" The match was a bit strange. Waske has a big serve and is very physically imposing. He's difficult to play as he mixes things up and doesn't give you any...

Match will start at 7pm tonight
They've played once before, in rd1 of the 2005 US Open; Verdasco won 6-4, 6-2, 6-2. However, Henman had been really struggling with his back up to that match and it really affected his serve and movement that day. Verdasco was just picking him off at will from the net a...
