Wimbledon qualifying begins tomorrow with our top 10 ranked boys in the main draw, either on ranking or via wildcard. Qualifying is via two rounds QR1 (q1) Ondrej Styler (CZE) v (WC) Barney FitzPatrick (q2) Igor Gimenez (BRA) v (WC) George Davis (WC) Ewen Lumsden v (q14) Henry Von Der Schulenburg (SU...
QR1: Philip Sikman UNR vs John Harrison Richmond (USA) UNR Imran Aswat was at the top of the qualies acceptance list, but the q1 was six places below him, so I assume he's been promoted to the main draw.
QR1: Elise VAN HEUVELEN (GBR) UNR v. Malissa VOS (USA) UNR (=CH; 17 yo - No Junior record) Vos played her first ever tournament last week, and won a total of one game.
L32: Cameron Norrie WR 77 (CH = 75 at the start of this month) vs Malek Jaziri (TUN) WR 57 (CH = 47 in February last year & 34 years old) Could've been worse, I suppose.
As usual we have two representatives in each draw, with Matilda Mutavdzic the only one ranked high enough to be seeded Boys R1 (L128) Pedro Rodenas (ESP) v Hugo Cochlin R2 Oldrich Vejsicky (CZE) v Luca Pow Girls R1 (L128) (15) Matilda Mutavdzic bye R2 Andrea Pineda v Oceane Babel (FRA)
I've just updated the list of GB ATP Challenger singles finalists this century at http://bit.ly/challfin - am I correct in thinking that since Jay made the final in Bangalore, our only finalists have been Evo in Nottingham in Jay in Binghamton or have I missed someone? I doubt I've missed any winner...

Interesting article in an Australian newspaper today:
Women net top money from a little tennis
WELL, thank you Martina Hingis for coming back and showing us everything there is to know about women's tennis.
First, by not picking up a racquet for almost three years and then cruising straight i...
We have a fair-sized contingent, considering, out here in Colombia for this G3. In the girls, 15 year-old MJ is in the main draw (although she was in the MD for Czech Rep last week and failed to turn up - but maybe that's because she was making her way to Colombia.....) In the boys, Blu Baker is 3rd seed. Ge...
QR1: Ewen Lumsden UNR (CH = 1748 in September 2016) vs Marlon Vankan (GER) UNR QR1: Torben Steinorth (GER) UNR vs Kurt Lacount UNR QR1: Tim Heger (GER) UNR vs Max Lacount UNR
Hi everyone. Long-time guester, new user. I thought I'd ought to introduce myself before you see me randomly posting. I live in London, and used to follow tennis pretty avidly until work commitments got in the way. With it still being the NFL offseason, I thought it might be nice to spend a little time...
Klosters is as usual the venue for the under 18 European Championships. Anton Matusevich is seeded to meet Deney Wassermann again in the last 16 (Anton won 7-5 in the third at Wimbledon). Both our girls have tough matches against players who have respectable WTA rankings. Live scores should be avail...
