An interesting little new player to note, Ali Habib (born 2002), has come through qualis, and R1, in Kuwait, barely losing a game and beating the top Q seed: Boys: QR1: Ali HABIB (GBR) 6-1 6-0 Hussain Han Kuw SHAMS (KUW) QR2: Ali HABIB (GBR) 6-0 6-2 Andreas TZELIS (GRE) [1] FQR: Ali HABIB (G...
L16: Scott Clayton & Jonny O'Mara CR 328 (163+165) vs Tuna Altuna & Petr Michnev (TUR/CZE) CR 759 (182+577) Not a very kind drawn for the boys this week: if they win that one, they'll almost certainly face the top seeds, Arends & Krawietz, in the quarter-final. That said, that's hardl...
The second Spanish G2 has a similar British entry to last week, with Anton Matusevich, Ewen Lumsden, Ali Collins, Gemma Heath, Anna Loughlan and Destinee Martins expected in the main draw. Qualifying started today and jake Hersey, james Story plus Jacob Fearnley have reached final qualifying. C...
One of the South American events moved from the early to late part of the year, thus forming a small nest of G2s this month (Chile was last week, with Uruguay and Peru to follow), Blu Baker is the only Brit taking part. His efforts this year have earned him a seeding, and therefore a bye, which may be a mixed...
QR1: James Markiewicz UNR vs Ingo Herzgeroot (GER) UNR (he's 46!!!) QR1: BYE vs (q11) Rob Carter WR 1538 (CH = 803 in May 2014) QR1: (q2) Ryan Peniston WR 992 (= CH) vs BYE QR1: Christian Braun (GER) UNR vs Edward Harwood UNR The boys are all in the top quarter of the draw!
L16: Santiago González & Julio Peralta (MEX/CHI) CR 65 (33+32) vs Dom Inglot & Daniel Nestor (CAN) CR 98 (58+40) The North/South American pairing fared pretty well in Shanghai this, dumping out the eighth seeds, Harrison (R) & Venus, in two tie-breaks in the first round before fallin...
An easier qualifying draw for Alice this week. Just one match to win. And thus far, despite Indy's protestations that the rainy season was due to end in Colombo, end of Sept, there doesn't seem to have been much easing off. They are trying to play L16 matches today on hard courts with third set MTBs QR1...
Thought I'd add this, semi relevant since we talk about Collegiate tennis on this forum. This article shows the environment College athletes can find sadly themselves experiencing, at the hands of coaches who don't care about the welfare of the athletes. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/featur...
Normally a handful of Brits participate in this GA event, but this year George Davis is our sole representative, and his chances of an extended run weren't helped by drawing the 4th seed R1 (L64) George Davis v (4) Naoki Tajima (JPN)

A large British contingent here with the main draw starting on Tuesday - Ali Collins, Gemma Heath, Anna Loughlan, Destinee Martins, Anton Matusevich and Ewen Lumsden should be in that. Qualifying started today, with wins for Jacob Fearnley, Jake Hersey, Oscar Weightman and Harry Wendelken. Ther...
