New look Davis Cup starts next week, GB obviously not involved until the finals ( I wonder if an Andy Murray - less GB would have got the wild card to the finals?? Presumably not). From top players, Zverev, Thiem, Khachanov, Shapavolov, De Minaur, and a few others are playing but not many. Most interest...
Bahrain smiled kindly on us last week with two titles and three runners-up places. And we've certainly started off well this week too, with special congrats to Bella Moen, taking out the 3rd seed, and Tommy Harrison who qualifed and then defeated the 7th seed: Boys R1: (wc) Matteo FUSCHILLO (G...
Both Naomi and Tara are seeded to qualify. Two q rounds and both should get these initial 3 pts. QR1: Naomi BROADY (GBR) [q2] 455 vs Maria TANASESCU (CAN) 1043 (CH:907) Born 2000 (JCH:365 March 15) QR1: Tara MOORE (GBR) [q4] 505 vs Louise KWONG (CAN) 1032 (CH:820)
L48: (WC) Raymond Sarmiento (USA) WR 605 (CH =287 in September 2017) vs Liam Broady WR 258 (CH = 154 in April last year) - the winner will play Blaz Rola (6) L48: Lloyd Glasspool WR 426 (CH = 282 in July 2016) vs Alexander Ritschard (USA) WR 391 (= CH) L48: Ryan Peniston WR 377 (CH = 373 last month) vs (WC) C...
QR1: George Davies UNR (CH = 1600 in May 2016) vs (q11) Igor Shrolik (RUS) WR 1902 (CH = 1648 last November) Alexis Canter & Josh Paris should be in the main draw.
So we have had two weeks post US Open and the Brits so far have won: Andy, Cam, Dan 1 win each, Kyle no wins. With Beijing and Tokyo (Andy and Kyle in the main draw, Cam and Dan in qualies at Beijing), then Shanghai (again Andy and Kyle main draw, Dan and Cam both in qualies), Antwerp (Andy and Cam), Stockho...
QR1: (q1) Billy Harris WR 1025 vs BYE QR1: Dustin Goldenberg (USA) UNR vs Vassili Psaltopoulos (???) UNR Julian Cash should again be in the main draw. -- Edited by Stircrazy on Friday 1st of November 2019 01:12:23 PM
L48: (7) Jay Clarke WR 194 (CH = 153 in July) vs BYE - Thomas Fancutt or William Ma in the last 32 L48: Dayne Kelly (AUS) WR 374 (CH = 252 in October 2017) vs Brydan Klein WR 362 (CH = 169 in September 2015) - Tatsuma Ito (3) in the last 32 if he wins
With two weeks of events down, Luke, Dan, Dom and Kyle have chalked up a win each. But who will get most by end of Paris. I've put all top 100 players in poll plus Dan, Kyle and Cam , assuming Andy will stick clear. Of the top 100 players, ken and Jonny may not appear , who knows?! Also, Jamie and Neal may pl...
QR1: Ameur ben Hassen (TUN) WR 1556 (CH = 1289 in July 2016) vs David Quayle UNR QR1: Stefan Loncar (NED) UNR vs Max Andrews UNR (CH = 1553 in November 2012)
Two qual rounds. A tough match for Emily first up, but Sofia, her doubles partner, beat Radwanska last week, so Emily will be hoping to emulate her. QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) 477 vs Urszula RADWANSKA (POL) [q3] 264 (CH:29 Oct 12)
As Super T noted, Gabi has received a WC to stay in Turkey this week, which is why she hasn't appeared in Nantes! Also suggests her retirement from last week's final wasn't too bad an issue. R32: Gabriella TAYLOR (GBR) [WC] [1] 376 vs Alina MICHALITSCH (AUT) [Q] UNR/2081
