I live in Belgium at the moment, but I am British.
I'm an Andy Murray and Tim Henman fan.
My favourite players are Lleyton Hewitt and Andy Roddick.

I saw Andy in the french open juniors and although he lost in the semis we all thought that he would go far having seen his match against Del Potro in the quarters.
He displayed all...

As we head into the off season it might be good to have a thread each month that follows articles relating to Andy...just to keep up going....a bit early maybe for this (Still October) but some good articles out there....will make it sticky....if that is okay with our mighty UMF
Here's the table (c)GC77 for the week of the 6th November. It's done before Tennisfacts have updated. Please let me know if anything's wrong!
No Andy's competitors this week: Only Tursunov is playing (in the Ukraine), and he can't overtake.

The line-up in this week's British Tour event looks interesting. Dan C could get his revenge over Dan S. Dan E could stake his claim for top junior. And maybe Dan J and Dan O could launch a surprise. 1 Tom Burn 2 Dan Cox 3 John McGahon 4 Sean Thornley 5 Dan Jewitt 6 Daniel Oppe 7 Dan Evans 8 Maniel...
Just wanted to post my condolences to 18 year old Julia Bone who lost her father earlier this week. He died of a sudden heart attack. He was the director of the LTA training school in Bisham Abbey and worked with Anne Keothavong, Miles Maclagan, Colin Beecher and Annabel Croft among others.

This match is first on centre court, with play starting at 11am local time, so any minute now.
The poll on the website has 37.5% of voters (there has been 472) claiming Marray will win!! Hopefully he'll justify the support

Rd1:
J Murray [GB]/J Kerr [4] v J Delgado/J Marray
A Bogdanovic/T Bednarek v I Kunitsyn/D Tursunov [Rus][3]
Murray and Kerr have a great chance of making the semis which would take Jamie into the top 70 for the first time I believe, and cement his position as GB no 1.
It's a shame that...
