Rd1: D Brewer [GB] v J Sirianni [Aus][3]
Extremely tough rd1 draw for David against the ITF player of the month for August. 31 year old Sirianni won two futures events on clay in Germany and Holland which rocketed him up the rankings to 333. His career high ranking is 199, reached in 2003 after he'd b...
Rd1: L Childs [GB] v J Pequery [Fr][1]
Horrible, horrible draw for Lee. Feel really gutted for him after such a good run last week.
Pequery is beatable though, he's ranked 265 and Lee has beaten lots of higher ranked players. Pequery will be playing h...

Anne Keothavong is on the alternates list for this tournament next week, I don't think she'll quite make it into the main draw but it looks like she'll play qualifying which starts on Saturday.
Orleans, France 6 Bogdanovic, Alex GBR 142 22 Lee, Martin GBR 219 Alternates 4. Bloomfield, Richard GBR 226 12. Parmar, Arvind GBR 25 Bloomers could make it with just a few withdrawls....Paramar may have to qualify.

Well this could be a very intersting match up, as i think Murray will want revenge for the defeat earlier in the year. Lets see how good his fitness is if he goes another five setter. I think Today's performance against Gonzalez was brilliant. The middle part of that game...
On Jade Curtis' 3 set rd1 win: Jade Curtis joined Naomi Cavaday to give Britain a dual presence in the second round of the US Open girls’ singles on Monday. But just like her compatriot a day earlier, 16-year-old Curtis had to overcome a major case of Grand Slam nerves as well as her opponent. Eventually...
Is it too early to start the calculations for Andys total ranking points at the end of 2006?
If Andy does play another match until the end of the year (worse than the worst case scenario I hope ), I believe he will lose the points for Bangkok and Basel (180 points in total) and replace them w...
i had a quick look at the race and i think Andy has an outside chance of making the masters cup especially if there are some withdrawals.
here are the standings before the US Open

An unwell Sarah Borwell was not remotely happy about some of the comments on GBtennisgirls after the disappointing results for the british women in qualifying for the US Open, making clear her feelings on both her Lusciousmontenegro blog and in a post on the GBtennisgirls messageboard.
