Hi everyone, That time again. Time to vote for your Brit of the Week for Week 9. And what a week! We had Andy Murray's Davis Cup heroics (how many more times are we going to say that?) and Heather Watson marvellous victory in Monterrey. They're the two frontrunners. However, Naomi Broady's run to the sem...
May Gabi have as much Mexican fortune as our other players currently there! QR1: Gabriella TAYLOR (GBR) [q11] 679 vs. Zorayma ARREOLA (MEX) UNR (= CH) Gabi's opponent is 30, and has only played a total of 19 pro tournaments in her career, all in Mexico. Her only wins have come in QR1 of $10K & $25K...

Just tried to look at Stephen's excellent rankings tables, only to be faced with a message 'Sorry. This site has exceeded it's bandwidth for this month' ???? Anyone else got the same? Any of the more technically-minded on site able to fix it?
OK. So it is very early to start this thread for next week but I can report that at 10.30am tomorrow, there is a WC play-off match involving Joel Cannell. Hopefully, BiP will be reporting live on site.
Liam, Luke B., Dan S. Ed and Lloyd should all be in the MD here. Like a Brit works outing. Young Josh Wilson, who lives out there, I think, because he plays juniors in Canada, is in the Q draw. QR1: Josh Wilson (GBR) UNR (age 15) v GHINDA, Iancu-lustinian (CAN) UNR
The COSAT circuit climaxes with 2 G1s and a GA. Unusually this G1 is just a 32 draw, increasing the points for a R1 win. Fran Jones appears to have the toughest assignment against a player who reached a G1 semi in her last tournament. R1 (L32) Francesca Jones v Ellie Douglas (USA) Emily Appleton v (Q) Lea M...
Currently, there is a massive black hole in the women's side for UK women, between the top 3 in the top 100, and the women stranded outside the top 300. As of 29/2/2016, GB3 Naomi Broady has 712 ranking points, GB4 Tara Moore has 124 - and with this week's results to date, it's now over 600 points differen...
A change in personnel in Norway for their second G4, hoping to emulate Jack Draper's success in Oslo. Ryan Gaskin beat Max Benaim's first round opponent last week. Boys R1 (L32) Simen Sunde Bratholm v (6) Max Benaim Girls R1 (L32) Ida Ferding (SWE) v (5) Gemma Heath
Thailand is the next country on Alexis Canter's 2016 global tour, joined by Finn Bass and Alastair Gray, who are all seeded. Alexis could make the top 50 if he reaches the quarters, which he is seeded to do. R1 (L64) (11) Finn Bass bye (6) Alexis Canter bye (10) Alastair Gray bye

Peter bothwell is a promising teenager from ulster although he is part of the Irish Davis cup squad he is also British . Peter bothwell is the first Ulsterman to achieve an ATP world ranking quite an achievement coming from the smallest home nation in great Britain & NI with only 2 indoor courts and...
Amanda playing doubles with Alice again this week. I think it's safe to say now, after 16 consecutive tournaments together dating back to June last year, that Alice has definitely replaced Ximena Hermoso as Mandy's regular partner of choice. Mandy never used to even play the doubles unless Ximena w...
QR1: (q10) Billy Harris v SANCHEZ-IZQUIERDO, Nikolas (ESP) UNR age 16 James Allemby v REGUANT, Alejandro (ESP) UNR age 17 (q9) Josh Paris v PALLARES MONREAL, Jan (ESP) UNR age 17
