Major stories so far from this event:
Andy Roddick was forced to withdraw, still being troubled by the side strain he suffered in Los Angeles.
5-time Washington champion, Andre Agassi hoped to make a major impact in his 17th and final appearance at the tournament but instead he crashed out i...
Match is to be played at 7 on Grand Stand (another late on for all you in Britian) Another real interesting match Henman has only lost a set this tourny Tursunov has gone 3 sets every match. He finished his match last night at around 1:45 winning 6(10)-7 7-5 6-3 Tursunov is going to be very sl...

This was in the June issue of Ace, thought it'd be funny to see what people here said:
The big tennis test, who are you most like: Tim, Greg or Andy ?
[1] Your boss gives you a grilling in your annual appraisal, how do you respond ?
It's a bad day at the office [ii] Obviously this is a learning cu...
This match is last on centre court today at approx 2 am. Anyone planning to stay up ? Doug and Andymonium, what time will it be for you ? 29 year old Gambill is currently ranked 503, a long way from his career best of 14 which he reached in 2001. Off the tennis court he enjoys modelling and adding to his collec...
Qualifying:
The usual suspects are in action here. James Ward is seeded 8th and he and Oscar Podlewski are our best hopes. Robert Dee, perhaps mistakenly decided against sampling the delights of Senegal this week and he's also in action here.

Gimlestob seems to be quite friendly with a few brits and is now teaming up with henman for the doubles. Given the american's recent form i think he and henman have a decent shot at this, though they do face tough opponents in the russians.
I think it will be played tomorrow....
Doug has emailed me a load of really fantastic photos of where he lives. I'm putting these in a different thread because they're a lot of megabytes and so will take a lot of time to load.
I'll upload them tomorrow.
I think the site header banner needs to be updated:
Anyone have any ideas and photos to use ?
I think that maybe we should replace the image on the right with a photo of Andy from Aptos/Indianapolis/Binghampton/Cincinatti last year and maybe replace the middle image with a US Open series logo...
Has anyone been following Andre Agassi's progress here ?
He had a stunning 7-6[10], 6-0 win over Xavier Malisse in rd1 in 110 degree heat, serving 18 aces [!] in the process. In rd2 he beat Bastl 6-7, 6-2, 6-1 after a scrappy start. Agassi said "As the match went on, I picked up my level and I'm feeling...
