Dan (who is likely to drop outside the top 280 when his Champaign 2013 points come off tomorrow) starts his late bid for a place in Aus Open qualifying against a qualifier here: L32: (1) Dan Smethurst WR 254 v (Q) Nino Portales (FRA) UNR (17yo)
Morning all, and very nearly merry Christmas everyone. It's getting a bit close to the start of the season now and I am concerned that I haven't seen any 2014 ranking predictions yet!! I really couldn't care less about it being turned into a board competition, but I do really like seeing how the more...
http://bbc.in/18uFQEo "6-love-6 02 Jul" Sloane & John Inverdale talking about Fitzy from 30:11-30:37 A very short clip but she's very nice about him and her reaction when Inverdale asks if she knows he put himself up for sale on Ebay ... I mean, who wouldn't want to be described as...
L32: Matthew Short WR 1155 v Jean-Marc Werner (GER) WR 1035 (CH 566 in Mar) H2H 0-1 - Werner (who was out for 6 months between Mar & Sep this year, hence the drop in ranking) won 4 & 4 in Sevilla last year
QR1: Jack Oswald UNR v Stjepan Cagalj (CRO) UNR - winner to play (q16) Melik Feler (FRA) WR 1652 (CH 1647 earlier this month) QR1: Philip Sikman UNR v Stefano Reitano (ITA) UNR - winner to play (q9) Gregor Hutterer (AUT) WR 1419 (CH 1416 earlier this month) QR2: (q10) Aswin Lizen WR 1436 v Alan Gadjiev (UZ...
Liam and Ed should be in the main draw here. This is of course the Challenger where the Brits had lots of success last year, with Dan Smethurst qualifying and making the semi-finals, Dave Rice making the QFs and Josh Milton qualifying and making the QFs. Sadly, they all ended up trying to defend their po...
As freerider has started a male thread on rankings projections, I thought it only right to do something similar with the girls for rankings at the end of 2014: Here goes: 1. Laura Robson 38 2. Heather Watson 70 3. Jo Konta 105 4. Tara Moore 143 5. Sam Murray 179 6. Naomi Broady 196 7. Jade Windley 352 8. Lis...
Darren tries yet another partner: R1: (WC) Walter Trusendi & Matteo Volante (ITA/ITA) CR 642 (351+291) vs Nikola Mektic (CRO) & Darren Walsh CR 488 (250+238)
Another huge qualifying draw but at least the seeded players get QR1 byes this time: QR1: Stuart Kenyon UNR v Robin Maden (SWE) UNR QR1: Brad Marriott UNR v Tao Jun Nan (CHN) WR 2012 QR1: Calum McKinlay UNR v David Hall (USA) UNR QR2: (q3) Alex Sendegeya WR 1399 v Lance Cohen (RSA) UNR or Kumara P Saradhi Ad...
Amanda and Izzy should be in the main draw here, with Amanda seeded. QR1: Lily Reynolds UNR v Merce Sans Vallespir (ESP) UNR (17yo) QR1: Natalie Syme UNR v (q8) Olaya Inclan Solis (ESP) WR 1159 (CH 1143 in Sep)
Harriet and Fran should be in the main draw here, with Harriet seeded, and Jazzamay looks to have got in too, having been 1st Alt. FQR: Natasha Hillyer UNR v (q5/wc) Yosr Elmi (TUN) WR 1243 (CH 1200 in 2013) -- Edited by steven on Friday 7th of November 2014 10:12:13 PM
Jonny has found himself a new partner & Darren's staying in the Nordic region to have another crack at Challengers: R1: (WC) Lucas Renard & Jesper Saarni (SWE/FIN) CR 2298 (778+1520) vs Sander Arends (NED) & Darren Walsh CR 666 (411+255) R1: Jonny Marray & Philipp Petzschner (GE...
This was Emily Smith's major success last year, but as last year's champion has opted out of here her ranking will drop sharply. There are 3 Brits hoping to emulate her success Boys R1 (L64) (5) Alexis Canter bye (12) Jay Clarke bye Girls R1 (L64) (4) Jasmine Amber Asghar bye
Excellent result for qualifier Max Benaim against the third seed, all three players into the quarters, and good days for the Abdel-Aziz family (Donia has won four sets and not even lost a game : Boys : R1: Mohamed ABDEL-AZIZ (GBR) [4] 6-4 6-4 Nikita PARFENOV (RUS) R1: (q) Max BENAIM (GBR) 7...
QR1: James Allemby v (q4) Bobbie de Goeijen (NED) WR 1294 (CH 1252 in Sep) Imran Aswat was 4th Alt here but the 3 players above him are playing in qualifying so unless he had been given an unlikely wild card, he must have decided not to play.
Some of our best youngsters (although not as many as I would have expected). Lots of French kids too. BOYS: QF: (1) Jack Draper v (7) Filip Krolo (GER) Ben Brewster v Adrien Gobat (FRA) Jacob Fearnley v Harry Wendelken Non-GB (q) Harold Mayot (FRA) v Pierre Delage (FRA) GIRLS: QF: (8) Gemma Heath v (4)...
