This still feels more than a bit odd, but since it appears he definitely is GBR now and that has always been the main determinant of whether a player's matches get listed on here, I guess this tournament needs a thread. L32: Brydan Klein WR 241 v Ruben Bemelmans (BEL) WR 141 (CH 108 in 2012) H2H 0-1, 7-6(3)...
Good draw for Andy. Possible opponents R1: Bye R2: Davydenko / Granollers R3: Nishikori QF: Del Potro / Almagro SF: Federer / Tsonga -- Edited by RJA on Saturday 11th of May 2013 04:18:20 PM
In 2008 two juniors with connections to Britain and Australia (Jo Konta and Laura Robson) contested the final here. Isabelle Wallace tries to follow suit, but will probably have to find a way past top junior Belinda Bencic in her second match. R1 (L64) (15) Isabelle Wallace (GBR) bye
We have a quartet here for the second Austrian Grade 2. The three boys have all avoided seeds, but are likely to meet top 4 seeds in round 2. Anna Brogan could meet one of the few Aussie-Brit defectors in the other direction (Naiktha Bains) in round 2 Boys R1 (L32) Viktor Kostin (GER) v Robbie Ridout (GBR)...

R1: Jamie Delgado & Sam Groth (AUS) WR 181 vs Nicholas Monroe & Simon Stadler (USA/GER) WR 166 R1: (3) Johan Brunström (SWE) & Ken Skupski WR 119 vs (WC) Pierre-Hugues Herbert & Nicolas Renavand (FRA/FRA) WR 332 Both pairs in the top half of the draw.
QR1: Darren Walsh WR 1671 v Timur Goryunov (UZB) UNR A ridiculously weak qualifying draw for a Challenger (apart from a late entrant top seed) - Darren plays one of quite a few players on the draw who have never even played Futures qualifying before as far as I can tell and the two seeded players in his sec...
I have posted in a couple of other threads about some of my experiences in Madrid, but there is one more I wanted to share. It doesn't relate to any GB players so I thought here was the most appropriate place. Much as I enjoyed being on the centre court with Nole, Muzza, Rafa et al, I also enjoyed wandering...
DAs for Evans, Smethurst, Ward, Pauffley, Cox, Willis, Fitzpatrick, Gabb, Hewitt, Short and Bambridge. Qualifying draw has eleven ranked players, nine of whom are Brits. There are 8 spare places in the draw. Possible wild cards include O'Mara, Hoyt and Crawford.
Thinking for a change of going to view the qualies Could someone give me information on the following Is it spectator friendly? is it accessible by public transport are their eatting venues on site?
The two highest-ranked Brits here meet in R1 (and are in top seed Babos's quarter), which is a pity, but given Jade's draw and the points on offer, we can't have too many complaints overall: L32: (7) Samantha Murray WR 254 v Emily Webley-Smith WR 436 (H2H 1-1 but both way back in 2006, 1 a ret.) L32: Jade Wi...

QR1: Samuel Beddow UNR v Bye FQR: Samuel Beddow UNR v Juan Diego Telles (ESA) UNR This has to be one of the weakest tournaments, in terms of depth, that I have ever seen. There are only 18 players in qualifying (should have been a 48 man draw) none of whom are ranked. Furthermore it looks like one unranked...
After a nice message from DavidC, I'm adding this smaller event because it invloves two of the British girls who are currently doing well, including one of my personal favourites. R1 Mirabelle Njoze (7) d. Berfu Cengiz (TUR) 6-0, 6-0 Jasmine Amber Asghar (2) d. Sofia Sualehe (POR) 6-3, 6-0 R2 Mirabe...
L32: Kyle Edmund WR 510 v (WC) Jean-Yves Aubone (USA) WR 1066 (CH 475 in 2009) Aubone took 9 games off Boggo in Oklahoma City last month and beat Josh Milton 3 & 3 in Brownsville in February. He didn't play on the circuit between late April and late October last year, presumably because of injury.

L32: (2) James Marsalek WR 628 v Dekel Bar (ISR) WR 935 Marzi really needs to step things up this week and he has great draw. He beat Bar in Ashkelon two weeks ago and as long as he does so again he will face one of two unranked Israeli qualifiers in round 2.
L32: (3) Andy Murray WR 3 vs Florian Mayer (GER) WR 26 Mayer defeated Matosevic by 6-2 6-7(3) 6-4. Andy had a walkover into the last 16 against him at the Shanghai Masters last year & beat him by 1-6 6-1 6-1 at the Rome Masters in 2011. The other seeds in Andy's quarter of the draw are Berd-Brain (6...
