Hi everyone I'm Richard. I'm 40 years old and live in Notts. I'm married and have a teenage son. I don't work because of a spinal condition I have called Cauda Equina Syndrome. I love tennis and supporting the Brits so glad to find this site.
The new table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Richard plunges 9 places to 192, defending his GB F6 title from last year. Josh gains 5 places as Fognini, Crivoi, Sabau Tsonga and Andreev drop behind him Winning in France could get Richard up to 175 again. Loads of players lines up...
quarter finals lucy warburton v michaela ince naomi broady v holly richards anna hawkins v e.b.gregorians charlotte martin v melissa gibb some good line ups here the top 2 matches should be pretty close!!!!! any guesses on results before they are played
They've got stunning media coverage of the events! Banana Bowl. Copa Gerdau. Sadly nothing of Evans and Cox from Banana Bowl till now. Couple of pics of Rice which we can use for our site wh...
Richard said “It's a great honour to be named in the squad and I guess it's recognition for the progress I've made up the rankings in the last year. I missed out under previous regimes and it's nice to be included. My duties will include knocking up with the likes of Tim and Andy before t...
Much was said about IMG apparently wasting a wild card on a girl who is 14 years and 1 month old and is obviously unranked. But.... she actually beat Meghann Shaughnessy in Miami. Shaughnessy is ranked inside the top 50 and is aged twice as much as Michelle. -- Edited by The Panda Bea...
Went to the new Wembley for the under 21 match today. All I can say is what an incredible venue. The seats are just awesome. You can sit down and stretch out your legs. More leg room that I've ever experienced at any event. We parked at Stanmore station and got the tube into wembley park As soon as we got...
Nole seems to of had some serious luck recently with his draws but generally has he been lucky with getting to the top10 ? Sure, he probably deserves to be there soon but has he actually proven he should be there right now ? Murray has already proven he is top10 material by beating almost everyone there bu...
SYMPTOMS OF BEING OVER 25 1. You leave clubs before the end to "beat the rush". (worse still you don't go to the clubs) 2. You get more excited about having a roast on a Sunday than going clubbing the night before. 3. You stop dreaming of becoming a professional footballer / baske...
It's an interesting debate...I believe there are 5 places available and also it's going to be on clay. Players in the running are: Anne K, Mel, Katie, Bally, Sarah B, Amanda, Georgie, Claire Curran and Naomi. Anne surely has to be a certainty as long as she's injury free (something whic...
Qualifying: Rd1: Dani Brown (GB)(6) v J Escobar (Arg) Should be very straightforward for Dani against the 18 year old unranked Argentinian. Escobar has only played two matches previously on the womens tour, both in 10K qualies..she lost both.
Lower back issue that he sustained against Tipsarevic in IW apparently. On paper that eases Andy's draw a little bit - I'm not sure Hewitt would have been a major problem but it does mean we don't have to find out now. Kendrick takes his place as LL so it will be either Kendrick or Sluiter in R...
No Idea when. Could someone add the poll. A dangerous one for Andy as Goldstein should be a 2 game whizz ! *LOL* -- Edited by imoen at 00:18, 2007-03-23
The new table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) As Richard's dropped back 9 places and ALex has advanced 5 places because of points defended, I've had to split the table. The table just shows those whom Alex can overtake or be overtaken by in the duration of the qualification tournament...
The new table is posted here (on Britishtennis.net) Jamie starts the week with a four point boost to his ranking, Jonny goes up six and Alan 3, as Dabul, Luczak, Villagran, Massa, Bacanello, Azzuro, Chardy, Robert and Rusedski tumble. Jamie's the only one in action - at the France F5. Winning t...
Elena Baltacha, Natasha Khan and Claire Ricketts all progressed to the 2nd qualifying round of this week's Tenerife 25K, joining 6th seed Georgie Stoop who had a first round bye Baltacha was the most impressive, racing past compatriot Sarah Coles 6-4, 6-0 while Khan and Ricketts were made to fi...
Can someone put a poll on this? Who would win? Also, can I just point out that there has been a coming together of collective great minds (me and Arka) and we think this would be an AMAZING exhibition match. It can and MUST happen. Petition, lobby or harass the ATP. LETS GET IT ON.
The entry sheet with qualifiers placed in the draw is now downloadable via http://www.britishtennis.net/Competitions.html - it's the same link but the files have been updated. If anyone has started and doesn't want to re-download but would like to know who each Qualifier/LL in the orig...
