QR1: Maniel Bains UNR vs Omar Abdo (KSA) UNR QR1: Luke Simkiss UNR vs Andre Ku Meza (PER) UNR (Andre came to the UK for three of the summer Grass futures and didn't win a game, going 0-3 against Brits in that period. Fingers crossed for 0-4...)
With James Ward and potentially Kyle Edmund about to start playing in South America I have to confess I have little or no understanding of how the South American season fits into the rest of the ATP tour. There are the 250s in Ecuador and Sao Paulo followed by a 500 in Rio and a 250 in BA all in February and t...
Darren has found himself yet another playing partner: R1: Mitchell Krueger (USA) & Darren Walsh CR 395 (213+182) vs Philip Bester & Hans Hach (CAN/MEX) CR 432 (191+241)

I couldn't find a thread for this tournament, but: Oliver Levi lost in the opening qualifying round Josh Paris is here and play was delayed yesterday, but they are playing now: L32: Josh Paris WR1183 v Tom Ziv (ISR) (WC) UNR Josh took the opening set 6-2
Luke Hammond is the one British player left in the Far East, and as Matt commented in last week's thread, is in a loaded G2. It's uncommon to have a top 10 ranked player in a G2, but this has 2, since Korea has two players who were ranked 3 and 4 last week. If Luke wins his opener he is likely to face one of them, Y...
I see that he is going to change partners next season. Teaming up with Brazilian, Doubles World number 23, Bruno Soares. Interesting. I wonder who's decision it was to split Murrays or Peers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/34590356
Of the seven Brits in Osaka Katie and Alexis moved to Thailand while the other five decamped here, with none staying for the Japanese G2. Luke Hammond has joined the five, and is on a 15 match unbeaten run thanks to 3 consecutive titles in Southern Africa. Luke's round 1 opponent reached the G3 Sarawak f...
I'm in Agios Nikolaos at the end of the week. Maybe we'll still have some Brits in action to pop over and see... QR1: (q6) Aswin Lizen vs BYE QR1: Matthew Hingley UNR vs Henrik Traksen (LTU) UNR
