I see we have 3 x 15K tournaments in February next year - Glasgow, Edgbaston and Wirral. Let's hope they're not the year's only entry level tournaments on our shores.....
Yet another British Luke & one of whom I've never heard: QR1: Arvid Nordqvist (SWE)UNR vs Luke Issajenko UNR QR1: Alexander Pavlioutchenkov (RUS) UNR (CH = 704 in September 2003 - he's 30) vs James Markiewicz UNR
Not the best of draws ! R1: Josh Paris (GBR) WR 989 v (2) Yannick Mertens (BEL) WR 266 (CH 179 in Aug 15) Having a player with his ranking, in a 10k, and not even the top seed - it's a bit sad. Mind you, he's been out injured for a month or so .....
QR1: BYE vs (q5) Farris Gosea WR 817 (CH = 557 in July last year) QR1: (q3) Luke Bambridge WR 515 (CH = 481 in May) vs BYE ***** QR2: Strong ( ) Kirchheimer (USA - where else? ) WR 1188 (CH = 1123 last month) or Matthew Mendez (USA) UNR vs (q5) Farris Gosea WR 817 QR2: (q3) Luke Bambridge WR 515 vs Jonathan H...
Following the success in Serbia, it gives me great pleasure to start this new thread so we can all start speculating on a venue. Personally, I think there will be a lot of diplomatic talk about taking the show around the country to appease fans froms various regions and looking at different venues etc,...
QR1: BYE vs Samuel Beddow UNR ***** QR2: Danail Banov (BUL) UNR (& 16 years old) vs Samuel Beddow UNR First time I've seen a Nepali (19-year-old Abhishek Bastola) in a tennis draw!
The second of the North American tournaments loses Emily Appleton from last week's entrants. Jodie Burrage appears to have a good draw against a lowly ranked wildcard to get her first win since July. Live scores are promised at http://www.tennisticker.de/mex/mex2579/sb.html but no sign of them...
Only one entrant but no other events this week (unless I've missed one) so here goes just for Emile: R1 (L32): Emile HUDD (GBR) [8] 6-3 6-2 Nemanja MALESEVIC (BIH) R2 (L16): Emile HUDD (GBR) [8] 6-2 6-2 Riccardo DI NOCERA (ITA) Doubles: R1: Johan GARPERED (SWE) / Emile HUDD (GBR) 6...
Couldn't readily see a thread that this would fit into - but it's part of general tennis discussion, so ... congratulations to Stuart Fraser, who has been named as The Times' tennis correspondent. Always comes across as pleasant and well-informed - good to see that get its due reward (even if it does m...
Q1: TAYLOR, Gabriella (GBR) 2 361 v KUZNETSOVA, Ksenia (RUS) 1049 CH=1046 31/10/16 18yo JCH=409 H2H 1-0, Monzon 2016 6-4 6-0-- Edited by Peter too on Friday 18th of November 2016 09:26:17 PM
Qualifying has started and I was down there today at Wirral. I have to say the standard in qualifying is getting higher and higher each year and there was some terrific talent on show. Indianna Spink - just 14, but far too good for the two girls she played against. Big serve, very clean powerful forehand...
QR1: (q1) Ewan Moore WR 1377 (= CH) vs BYE QR1: Jamie Whiteford UNR (CH = 898 in June) vs (qWC) Matija Matic (CYP) UNR QR1: (q3) Luke Oakley WR 1347 (= CH) vs BYE QR1: BYE vs Jeremy Gschwendtner UNR QR1: BYE vs Oliver Hudson UNR (CH = 986 in April 2012) QR1: Luke Simkiss UNR vs Rodion Domanin (RUS) UNR QR...
Dan Dowson's bumped back down to qualies - plenty of moral support, though: QR1: (q2) Dan Dowson WR 810 (CH = 797 last month) vs BYE QR1: James Allemby UNR (CH = 2052 in September last year) vs Mateusz Smolicki (POL) UNR QR1: Abdullah Eren Kiran (TUR) UNR vs Alex Jhun UNR (CH = 1034 in February) QR1: ...
I know that in JWH we have our very own tennis/basketball hotshot, but I doubt even he has ever made a shot like this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz-jNoHjdb0
