I thought it might be interesting to see who folks think will win this most open of opens - Top 17 seeds, Heather and Naomi (as still alive in Qualies) as the other Brits, and AN Other for a catch all outsider! -- Edited by indiana ( poll ) on Saturday 13th of January 2018 04:53:54 PM-- Edited by JonH on Satu...

Alex Zverev. Has now played 11 grand slams, and is yet to beat a top 50 player or go past the 4th round. In order to keep tennis current, ATP over hyped this kid, and tried to make him a poster boy. What a failure it has been.
L64: Adil Shamasdin (CAN) & Neal Skupski CR 125 (60+65) vs Marcus Daniell (NZL) & Dom Inglot CR 92 (38+54) L64: (5) Jamie Murray & Bruno Soares (BRA) CR 19 (9+10) vs Frances Tiafoe & Donald Young (USA/USA) CR 414 (368+46) Hmm, well we will definitely have at least one representati...
QR1: (qWC) Luke Bambridge WR 569 vs (q6) Austin Krajicek (USA) WR 266Edit: just amending the name of the venue to avoid confusion with Newport, Rhode Island, & adjusting the font size, as the original was hurting my eyes (though I still can't get it quite right)!-- Edited by Stircrazy on Satu...

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Armfield, but remember with thankfulness, a life well lived. A peerless gentleman; a great servant to his sport, his country, and his beloved Blackpool; a thoughtful, humble, modest and balanced broadcaster in the mould of Dan Maskell. We will not see hi...
