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...

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.

Has anyone found any free live streams for the US Open ?
I've heard that there's some streaming on Eurosport, can someone give me a link to this ?
Thanks
Ed Corrie, Ian Atkinson and Gregory Howe trying their luck in qualifying here.
Howe is the veteran that tried to qualify in Thailand a couple of weeks ago. Maybe he's on a round the world holiday!
Does anyone know if the ATP has offical tour trainers that travel on the tour. Or are trainers just locals that go to the tennis tournament when it is in town? i posted this on MTF also. If you wondered in going to be going into the feild of Physical Therpay(Trainer) and Sports Psychology next year. It wou...

Must be playing tomorrow. Alessio Di Mauro - 29 yr old Italian, currently ranked 94, has played mostly in Challengers and International Series this year. Did however beat Wawrinka and Stepanek in Monte Carlo, so not a pushover. Tim beat him in two pretty close sets in Rome this year. -- Edited by Drew a...

Good draw for Andy....could have been worse...Kendrick is a big server and it maybe closer than we may think. Still Andy in 3 for me..on his best surface...in his favourite event !!! -- Edited by Drew at 10:16, 2006-08-26
Its worth noting that Mathieu's form on hard court has been dreadful. He has won some matches on clay, including a couple of rounds at the French, but the last time he won on a surface other than clay was in Indian Wells at the start of March. He was knocked out in the first round of Quee...
