R1 bt Nadege Vergos of France 57 63 62
R2 bt Ekaterina Dzehalevich of Belarus 63 62
R3 bt Estelle Guisard of France 60 61
And therefore qualifies!!!!!!!!!!!
The Final of the challnger in Mons. Play to start at 2 oclock BST so in just over 5 minutes. I think if Boggo can make a bright start Tipsarevic will get fustrated and fluster but it will be a big match and one that Boggo needs to win if he wants to be in the top 100 come the end of the year as he is not playing next w...
Hey guys, this is my first post on this board, just posting to say congratulations and what a great run in Mons from Alex Bogdanovich.
Any of you guys know where he's going next? I heard he was having this week off and then going to Denmark. Anyone have any info on Denmark? I assume it's a challenger. Any...
After doing so well to qualify, Jonny M has been rewarded with a v tough, but winnable first round match vs Marc Gicquel.
Gicquel reached the semis at Metz hast week, and US open 4th round, only losing to the Fed, however Marray will fancy his chances having already got 3 competitive matches under his...

Loads of Brits in Mexico qauly tornaments over the past month.
So far only Simon CHilds qualified but he won a main draw match as well that week so good for him.
Andy keeps mentioning that he fancies a place at the Masters Cup. I think he's deluded, but he normally does well with his "goals" doesn't he. I'm gonna start work on a weekly predicted race ranking (unless anyone else already does it?) and try and post it here... gimme a coupla hours... Quicke...
Greg ends week 40 at WR145 (down 3)
He's defending 25 points from Moscow last year, so will start the week dropping out of the top 150, at 151.
I'd guess at least 2 and up to 10 players could overtake during the week's play.
(Andre Agassi has risen above him to 146th)
Nominees:
Katie O'Brien: Reached back to back 25K finals in Madrid and Nottingham. She won Nottingham, her first 25K title. She also won the Madrid doubles title.
Amanda Keen: Runner-up in Nottingham 25K final in singles and won the doubles title.
Naomi Cavaday: Reached semis of Nott...
Qualifying starts on Saturday
Jamie Baker is the only British player entered here, he's 9th on the alts list and as there'll be at least one withdrawal from the entry list, he'll be seeded in qualifying.
As some of you know, I do a table on the Rusedski message board that tracks the rankings, whereabouts and progress of GB players in the top 500, so I couldn't help but notice this week that we are back down to just 14 players in the top 500 after hitting a high of 20 for just one week in late Octob...
Nominees:
[1] Alex Bogdanovic: Reached rd2 of ATP Bangkok and took Henman to 3 sets in rd2.
[2] Jamie Baker: Won his first 15K futures title in Nottingham
[3] Jonny Marray: Reached semis of Orleans 75K challenger and reached final of GB F14 in Nottingham. Raised his ranking around 150 pl...
Alan Mackin, Josh Goodall, Jonny Marray and James Auckland are all entered for the qualies here and they're all in different sections so we could potentially have 4 qualifiers, that is a little optimistic though !
Auckland's entry seems to suggest that he'll be playing doubles in the main draw w...

Surprised it's not been covered on here already (maybe has but I can't find it) but Peter Norfolk has just claimed his 4th US Open title in the Quad Singles Main Draw.
Would it be fair to say that he is the best tennis player Britain actually has considering that he is dominant in his particular class?

Alex has the class to beat Chiudinelli, whether he will or not is a different question. Chiudinelli has had a strange year and currently stands at 188 in the world. He won consecutive $15k Futures tournaments in Kuwait in May, and he qualified and reached the thrd round of the US Open.&nb...
