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.

Main Draw- 1st round
C Eaton vrs D Fernandez (r. 876)
M Blake vrs J Lemke (Unranked)
A Kennaugh vrs D Jelfra (r. 1550)
Good chance for Andy and Myles to go through
Unfortunately E Corrie lost his last qualifying match, and G Howe and I Atkinson lost their first round game
A good choice of tournament for David Brewer, he's done well to get direct entry for a 15K and he's also got a decent draw.
Rd1: D Brewer [GB] v M Vassiliev [Rus]
Vassiliev is ranked 46 places below David at 984. He's lost 7 of his past 8 matches, breaking a 6 match losing streak in Germany last week...

I have exchanged a few e-mails with LTA and Roger Drapier and suggested inprovements for the LTA site. A player blog for example and Q & A's with players explaining fans needs for info behind the players and..........well just complaining about the issue at length! They pro...
Safin v Haas is probably the pick of today's men's 4th round matches. This is the US Open website preview: "In case you missed the Opening Night fireworks display here, there’s another one on tap today, as No. 14 seed Tommy Haas takes on Marat Safin. When two huge hitters like this collide, the resultin...
Some mouthwatering match-ups are featured today. Not only is there Murray-Gonzalez but there's Nalbandian-Safin, Becker-Agassi, Verdasco-Roddick, Moodie-Nadal, Blake-Moya, S Williams-Ivanovic and Hewitt-Djokovic.
Safin's form has been very hit and miss on the US hard courts this su...
The match of the day in the women's draw looks to be Amelie Mauresmo versus Serena Williams. Despite being out of action from January until August Serena reached the latter stages of Cincinatti and Los Angeles in August and has been building up some impressive form here dispatching Hantuchova and Iv...
[1.72] Andrew Murray v Nikolay Davydenko [2.00] [1.50] Marat Safin v Tommy Haas [2.50] [1.53] James Blake v Tomas Berdych [2.37] [1.01] Roger Federer v Marc Gicquel [15.00]
Pundits reckon a tight match but Andy will win (just). Looks like Sunday.
Good Luck Andy!
Please someone add the Poll! (Andy make it sticky whilst casting the 'done' matches adrift! *LOL* ) Thank you. -- Edited by timmoore46 at 03:48, 2006-09-02-- Edited by Drew at 1...

This tournament was thought to be all about the expected final showdown between Daniel Evans and Daniel Cox, Britain's two highest profile U16s.
However, Cox was beaten 6-4, 7-5 in the quarters by Northamptonshire's James Richardson and at the same stage Marcus Willis [ranked no 2 in U16s in GB...
from bbc:
Peter Lundgren is Great Britain's new Davis Cup coach, according to reports.
this is great news, lets hope it can continue beyond the ukraine tie, but you have to wonder how come now? whats happened to suddnely get the good coaches on board, is it all down to murray, possibly, but also the...
First up, I'm not trying to say that Andy is the next Federer, but after listening to all the rubbish about Andy being overrated, etc. (not here of course), I decided to check out what Federer did when he was Andy's age (18/19). Having gone to the trouble, I thought I'd share the info with everyone.
