Antoni Gomez, Philip Barlow, Alex Hutchins, Oscar Podlewski, Robert Dee, (7) James Ward and John Rambotas all appear in qualifying this week.
Looking for another promising performance from Podlewski, a few wins for James Ward and maybe a couple of games from Robert Dee :...
Andy's new coach has his own website. If you want to get an idea of just how big BG's ego is then this is the place to look.
I found the future stars section particularly interesting. Brad is a big fan of Alex Kuznetsov (wr-279), Brian Baker (wr-347), and Timothy Neilly (wr-101...
AS THE rain kept her younger son in the Eastbourne locker room, kicking his heels impatiently waiting to resume Britain's Davis Cup tie against Israel, Judy Murray was busying herself with the development of the domestic game. Not even the elements can slow down Mrs M. As the most famous tennis paren...

Quite a few top British players have gathered in Eastbourne this week for the summer county cup:
Defending champions Hertfordshire [] have Neil Bamford, Guy Thomas [former top 50 junior], David Corrie, Ed Corrie and Neil Roskilly.
Cheshire have Mark Hilton. Yorkshire have Dave Sh...
Gentle controversy is as much a part of County Week as calling your own lines and standing during the changes of ends, and it emerged yesterday that Andy Murray's older brother, Jamie, was quietly informed by officials from the Lawn Tennis Association that playing in the amateur doubles competitio...
This year's tournament is being held this week on clay in Switzerland. Graeme Dyce and David Rice are Britain's only representatives [Cox, Evans, Corrie and Atkinson are playing the summer county cup].
All players got a bye through rd1

Brad Gilbert will concentrate on building up Andy Murray's strength when he starts work as the Briton's coach.
The American, who was appointed by the Lawn Tennis Association on Wednesday, expects to start making significant progress after the US hardcourt season.

Jamie Murray has a wild card into a pretty weak looking qualifying draw and is seeded 3 despite his ranking of 858. Everyone else in his qualifying section are unranked Americans or one Aussie ranked 1172. If he doesn't qualify he should be shot!

Alan Wright returns in qualifying here this week. He had a number of promising results towards the end of last year so hopefully he can build on that. I guess we won't be able to find out where he has been for the last few months, maybe an injury?
Anyway, he finds himself as the 8th seed in q...
Will there be any fall out from this tie?
i think alex will be dropped, whilst i am probably the biggest boggo fan here, its obvious to see that the DC isnt right for him, part of the problem is he is so quiet on court that the crowd dont get behind him, he needs to learn how to show his emotion, the way...

Andy is currently at 36 and will go up to either 34 or 35 next week. I would say there were doubts at the moment with Kiefer and Andreev (neither played for a while) and Ancic (who was in a jet-ski accident last week) who are all above Andy.
He has 85 points to defend in the 2 Masters weeks so it's gonn...
Jamie Baker is on the entry list here and you would expect Jamie Murray to appear in qualifying assuming he is allowed (he is still playing in Aptos Challenger doubles).
I may be missing something but unless I'm mistaken Andy is playing tomorrow. The draw, provided he can get past Hrbaty, is very nice for him. Possibly Burgsmuller then Ginepri. All winnable for him.
Feel free to delete if he has withdrawn or something.[url=http://www.countrywideclassic.co...
Here's this week's rankings table (c)GC77.
Again, this was prepared without help from Tennisfacts - hopefully they'll be back from their holidays soon!
As ever, please let me know if I've made mistakes, or not spotted things.

The singles draws have been published and there are some pretty unfamiliar names in qualifying. That is probably because our brightest youngsters have entered GB F10 which is also next week. I expect the 1st, 2nd and 4th seeds to qualify with very trouble. Ross Hutchins a...
