I have just been browsing Stagger's excellent and hilarious blog Cold Goat Eyes [life in Taiwan and other things] and I've just found an article in which he gives his views on Dan Brown's bestseller The Da Vinci Code.
True to form, he doesn't shirk from controversy:

Andy's official site will be going live next week and he currently has a poll up on his homepage asking for his fans to select him a logo. There are six to choose from. My favorite has to be 4. What do you think?
Andy plays Max Mirni for a place in the 3rd round. Max beat Boggo in 3 sets today.
Andy in 2 for me....Mirni is a good player but Andy should have the class to beat him in 3.

Here is a thread to share some good online games, if you are getting sick of trying to kick Montana's arse at curveball.

From Sporting Life:
Anne Keothavong crashed out of the Hastings Direct International Women's Championship at Eastbourne then called upon Britain's new tennis boss Roger Draper to "come and listen" to the players' views if he plans to improve the dismal state of the women's game in this countr...
A very tricky rd1 tie for Andy against the unpredictable Russian. I really don't know how to call this one, it depends so much on Tursunov's mood. If Dmitry plays like he did against Henman at Queens, Murray will cruise through in straights but if Dmitry shows the form he displayed against Henman at RG a...
I suspect that there will be many books written on Andy Murray over the next 40 years and the first of these will be published on June 1st 2006.
It's entitled: "Andy Murray, the story so far" and is written by Rob Robertson and Eleanor Preston. It's a paperback, 320 pages and will cost £10.99.

Richard will be trying to get Andy Murray's revenge in rd1 here. They play 2nd on court 1.
The grass at Nottingham will suit Richard a lot as the courts are really fast and suit big servers. In the past though, Richard hasn't enjoyed the best of success on the Nottingham grass. Last year, he lost to Va...
