Well, I'm glad I made it to Wimbledon Qualies last year. Apparently this year, for the first time, there are a limited number of entries and people will be charged. Last year it was free. http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/39795441 As you can see from this article, the possible presence of Sharapo...
Looking at the rankings today made me think how strong the current top ten is: Murray, Nadal, Fed, Wawrinka, Djokovic - multiple GS winners Cilic - US Open winner, although probably less likely to win another than any of the other top10 with the exception of Nishikori Zverev - has future world no.1 wri...

We've only got one player. But she is the top seed and you can't really put a Grade 2 in an 'others' thread.... R1: (1) Gemma Heath (GBR) v (wc) Fatima Elashram (EGY)
A late withdrawal by Emily Appleton leaves just British boys in the traditional warm-up for the US Open, won by Andy Murray in 2003 and Marcus Willis in 2008. George's R1 opponent trounced Aidan in the German G1 semifinals during the summer. R1 (L48) Igor Gimenez (BRA) v Barnaby Smith (Q) Drew Baird (...
I see Surbition have made an announcement regarding the status of their tournaments for next season. Looks like the Mens is being upgraded from a 42500/$50000 to a $125000 tournament. Will be interesting what this means for the other tournaments during the summer and presumably the LTA don't plan o...
In the boys, we have Ying Hou, Julian Lewis and Christian Mills who has made it through qualis. In the girls, there is Elisa van Meeteren, Olivia Elliott, Lilly Mould and Charlotte Navin-Weinstein.

QR1: Nikita Tatyanin (RUS) UNR vs James Allemby UNR (CH = 2052 in September 2015) Jay Clarke should be in the main draw & seeded third. For the record, Donostia is the Basque name for San Sebastián.
