i just wanted to create a thread where everyone can talk about who they dislike the most. Please keep this relativly clean and make life easy for the Mods..... Roddick....after the murray match i can no longer stand him. He trys to hit people when he is givin the chance. He gets very ****y when he hits a go...

If no one has done it or said they will by tomorrow mid-morning I'll post the table but someone else will have to update. Thanks. Looking at the new haven draw, Tim is in serious danger. 15 people can overtake him th...

Jade Curtis was competing here as 3rd seed in a warm-up for USO junior qualies next week. She lost in rd1 to Lauren McHale 3-6, 7-6[6], 6-3. A shocking result given that McHale is 16, doesn't even have a junior ranking and hadn't won a junior tour singles match before qualifying for this tournament...

This match is 4th on court 6, starting at around 8.30 pm GMT. Stephanie Cohen-Aloro has been as high as 61 in the world [reached in 2003] but she's currently plummeted to 157. She's at her best on clay, winning a 25K challenger earlier this year and reaching a 50K semi in July. On hard courts, she's st...

She won a 25K challenger on the hard courts of Mexico earlier this year but generally she's not as effective on faster surfaces, being beaten...

I'm on the official US Open site, but I can only access the first quarter of the draw. Unfortunately, the first quarter of the draw is terrible from the British point of view, Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski are up against each each other in round 1, with the victor of that to play the winner between so...

Match is scheduled for court 1, starting at around 8.30pm GMT tonight. They've played once before, Greg won 6-4, 6-4 in rd1 of ATP Nottingham on grass in 2003, on his way to the title. However, now Nieminen has to be the favourite, given that he's 15 in the world and has enjoyed a good hard court s...

From the BBC: Tennis legend John McEnroe believes new coach Brad Gilbert can help Andy Murray achieve "great things". Murray, 19, beat world number one Roger Federer last week and has broken into the world top 20 for the first time. McEnroe told the Merrill Lynch Tour of Champions websi...

A really tough rd1 match for Richard against the veteran Czech 25th seed. Zib is ranked 139 but this time last year he was 51 in the world. He has beaten Henman in the past indoors but is most at home on clay. In Jan and early Feb he reached 2 challenger finals but since then he's been on a very bad run...

The news which has rocked the athletics world: BBC article: The ramifications of Justin Gatlin failing a drugs test are extensive and serious for both the American and his sport. The world and Olympic 100m champion - and joint holder of the world record - was found to have elevated level...

Anna Kournikova has hinted about making a return to the tennis circuit and linking up again with Martina Hingis to renew their grand slam winning doubles partnership. However, Hingis had a warning for the Russian, "She'd really have to commit herself to this and grind it out" said the Swiss.

Josh has got possibly the best draw of all the Brits. Dorsch is rd1 and then Cyril Saulnier [seeded 20] who lost to Auckland in Graz last week is a possibly rd2 opponent and if he got to the final qualies round then Belgian veteran Dick Norman would be seeded to play him. Dorsch is at a career high ranki...

Alex has the chance to gain revenge tonight for his two DC defeats against Okun. The Israeli is ranked over 100 places below Alex at 257 but he's been in the top 200 [world no 95 in 2002] and that experience has shown both times they've played. The 1st match was on the hard courts of Tel Aviv in March 200...

Bizarrely the main draw has been released but there's no sign of the qualifying draw which should have started yesterday !! Karlovic is quite a nasty draw for Greg considering that he couldn't have faced a seed in rd1 [all seeds got byes through to rd2]. The winner of this match will play Jarkko Nie...

Doubles main draw (1)Dusan Karol/Matteo Volante (CZE/ITA) vs Giuseppe Moeri-Delgado/Marco Simoni (GBR/ITA) Don't know if this is a typo on stevegtenis or if he really is representing Britain. YOU DECIDE!
