This week's highest grade event is in Israel - the girls draw being particularly weak, thus causing Emily Smith to be seeded. Both she and Mason Recci have friendly draws against home players, but Mason may have to face the top seed in round 2. Boys R1 (L32) Mason Recci (GBR) v (WC) Daniel Dudockin (ISR...
L32: Luke Bambridge 863 v (Q) Vaclav Safranek (CZE) WR 941 (= CH, top 20 junior in early 2012) L32: Oli Golding WR 577 v Tyler Hochwalt (USA) WR 532 (= CH) Safranek's ranking will rise again next Monday because he reached the QFs last week. However, Luke beat him 1 & 4 at junior Wimbledon last year. --...

Dave: "I snuck into main draw singles for next week in Knoxville." Quite a surprise, and that must mean Ed got in too Another dodgy qualifying draw, with the two unseeded Brits due to meet the top seed in QR1 and QR2 respectively, though George pulling off the upset might virtually guara...

Not sure if I'll have any success with this question, but I'm looking to make use of every opportunity I can think of. Given that there is probably a fair few statisticians on the board, I was just wondering if anybody on here was employed within the financial services, and if so, whether they'd be able...
I am one of the most aggressively unsympathetic people imaginable for drug cheats in sport. And have posted on this forum on the topic in the past. Athletes are responsible for the substances in their body, and I rarely accept the traditional argument that illegal PEDs have somehow found there way in...
An opportunity for Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart to get something out of their Asian trip after a disappointing GA. Freya Christie's opponent reached the semis in Osaka. Gabi Taylor is one of three late withdrawals. Hard work for any engraver who has to include the transliterated tournament nam...
Tara is still on the main draw list here but given her tweet yesterday, it seems unlikely that she will be in the main draw when it comes out. QR1: Emily Webley-Smith WR 423 v Shakhlo Saidova (RUS) WR 666 (CH 651 in Sep) They met in Trabzon in September and Emily won 2 more games than the 18-year-old Russian...

Hi, I wasn't quite sure where to put this so I thought I'd make a new topic. I don't know if its been mentioned before but I happened across an archive of selected challenger matches from this year some of which of course feature British players, which I thought was pretty cool since if you miss a match, a...
This event is being played in Ortisei (Urtijëi in the local Tirolean dialect) in Val Gardena - better known for hosting top ski-ing events. QR1: Neil Pauffley WR 474 v (q5) Kevin Krawietz (GER) WR 399 (CH 270 in 2012)
R1: (3) James Ward WR 180 vs Chris Guccione (AUS) WR 487 (CH 67 in April 2008) R1: Brydan Klein WR 403 vs (WC) Gavin van Peperzeel (AUS) WR 586 (*) Although the Gooch's CH was achieved over five years ago, I feel Dino's going to be have to be on his mettle to deal with him. (*) Whoops, I keep overlooking Kle...
Wouldn't you just know it?!! QR1: (q1) Ed Corrie WR 336 vs George Coupland WR 930 QR1: Josh Milton WR 606 vs Carsten Ball (AUS) WR 915 QR1: (WC) Ronald Powell (USA) WR 1677 vs (q7) Dan Smethurst WR 482 QR1: (q3) David Rice WR 374 vs Dennis Nevolo (USA) WR 644 QR1: Greg Ouellette (USA) WR 666 (the number...
For anybody who's interested, there's an exclusive interview (N.B. it's hidden behind a paywall!) with Andy conducted by Robert Crampton in today's Times which gives a take on friendship with other players whi...
I have restarted this thread in an attempt to keep it relevant to the tennis as the previously started version had reached 3 pages with, at my count, only 2 tennis related posts. Can I therefore take the opportunity to request that we remain on topic here and in all other threads. There is a chat section w...
