Having had a quick look at the draw for New Haven, Andy is threatened from behind by only two people, Jose Acasuso and Fernando Verdasco both of whom must win to overt...
It would be great to see Josh win, but it wont be easy. Llodra is having a poor year by his standards, his biggest result of the year being an SF in a challenger, but reached the 4th round at the US Open in 2004, so he obviously feels comfortable here.
Anyway, lets hope that Jos...

I can only find stats back to 1980, but since then:
Only eleven Brits have qualified for two Grand Slams (John Feaver, John Lloyd, Nick Fulwood, Chris Bailey, Jeremy Bates, Neil Broad, Andrew Castle, Danny Sapsford, Arvind Parmar, Jamie Delgado and now Josh Goodall)
Btw, Delgado, who has done i...
So how far do you think he will go- there is a poll attached so feel free. Will he be rested in time, who will he face, will he make to 16 seeds with alll the withdrawals?
This title was won in 2005 by Richard Wire and lining up in an attempt to become the new national champion last week were the best British juniors: Iain Atkinson, Ed Corrie, Daniel Cox, Daniel Evans, Sean Thornley, Josh Milton, David Rice etc. The only notable absentees were Graeme Dyce, Chris Llewel...
