Blu is playing a G4 but, as before, it's hard to get too excited. George on a roll from last week. Both won their L64 match. Matthis Ross lost. USA, G4: R2 (L32): Blu BAKER (GBR) [1] 6-1 6-2 Lucas BROWN (USA)George DAVIS (GBR) [10] 5-7 7-5 6-0 Presley THIENEMAN (USA) In Namimbia,...
As much for my own benefit, I thought it worth summarising the schedules as they are currently for the men on the main ATP World Tour, namely Kyle, Cam and Dan. Kyle - Marrakeh (out), Monte Carlo, week off, Munich, Madrid, Rome, week off, Roland Garros. Cam - Houston (this week), Monte Carlo, Barcel...
R1: Maia LUMSDEN (GBR) 4 312 vs Daria SNIGUR (UKR) IR 474 (57 ITF) (17 yo) R1: Freya CHRISTIE (GBR) 542 vs Sofya LANSERE (RUS) 7 383 (18 yo) Another very tough draw for Maia, probably the toughest she could have being a seed, and maybe even the toughest regardless. Snigur is a very promising talent, like...

I would possibly have put this in the mens section but for now felt it sat under general. I had a coffee with someone who is heavily involved in Ilkley tournament today. He was telling me that the aspiration for Ilkley is to aim to get to a full ATP Tour 250 level event. They have had discussions with the AT...
Naomi couldn't have hoped for a better opening qualifying draw, playing a local wild card who only has 1 solitary ITF point. Tara didn't make the cut, but as she flew out with recent doubles partner, Emina Bektas, a few days ago, I assume they'll be trying for doubles. Q1: Naomi Broady (GBR) [q5] 300 vs Y...

JWT has a wild card & is seeded third, while the top seed is Pouille, also with a wild card. -- Edited by Stircrazy on Sund...
I've followed tennis loosely since I was young just really Wimbledon and Queens. However I'm much more interested now and went to the Friday of the last DC match last year, walkable from my house. I stumbled upon the forum and have found it really useful for all things British tennis. Off to travel to...
