L32: (2/WC) Andy Murray WR 6 v Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) WR 38 The field here is fantastic but this is a pretty good draw for Andy. If he gets past ERV it will Nieminen or a qualifier in R2. After that it will be tougher with Tsonga likely waiting in the QFs. SF opponent likely to be Gasquet or Youzhny. D...
Hello! I hope you all don't mind me posting on here. I'm a design student planning to create a new tennis shoe and need to do some market research, finding out what tennis players want. What do you all look for in tennis shoes? Do many of you wear different shoes for different courts? Any comments are hel...
Oli will be in the main draw here. Matt Short would have made it in but there appears to be an SE QR1: (q1) Matt Short WR 812 v Bye QR1: Taylor Bate UNR v Francisco Ramos (POR) UNR QR1: Jordan Bury UNR v Jose Maria Moya (POR) UNR

The Winter Cup season started this weekend with the under 12s, who have put in 2 sterling performances to reach the finals in Sheffield in 2 weeks time. After crunching Bulgaria 3-0 they overcame strong resistance from Romania today, the host nation for their qualifying group. Emma Raducanu and I...
Last year the under 12s actually won this event, but there will be no repeat this year. Johannus Monday and Benjamin Heynold both lost 2.5 hour matches to Belarus, so the team are playing for the minor positions. The under 14s and under 16s (the latter including Max Stewart in the nominations) try to qu...

It's never too early to start dreaming about next year I haven't worked it all out (partly because it's impossible to get it spot on without knowing all the DC rankings for the last 4 years, partly because some ties haven't finished yet and partly because the rankings are likely to be out tomorrow so it...
It's 'only' a Grade 5 but to give the guy his due: BOYS: Samuel Kiladejo, unr (only his second tournament, I think) has come through two rounds of qualifying and three rounds of the MD, into the QF, without losing a set and beating seeds along the way. MD R1: Samuel KILADEJO (GBR) 6-1 6-3 Saidi N...
Evo and Wardy should be in the main draw, I believe. QR1: (q4) David Rice WR 307 v Rudy Coco (FRA) WR 653 (CH 382 in 2011) H2H 2-1 - the first two (in 2009 & 2010) went to 3 sets but Dave thrashed Coco 3 & in Saint-Dizier last year The winner plays (q8) Hemery or (wc) Poullain in the FQR -- Edited by stev...
Yet another crap draw for Jonny M - with a different partner! Likewise for Rosco, though good to see him back on the main tour, even if he's not in harness with Colin. Presumably the WC is courtesy of his Dutch partner. R1: (3) Daniel Nestor & Nenad Zimonjic (CAN/SRB) CR 27 (15+12) vs Jonny Marray...
QR1: (q6) Ed Corrie WR 312 v Riccardo Ghedin (ITA) WR 492 (CH 222 in 2009) H2H 1-1 - Ed won a Futures SF in 3 sets at London-Cumberland in 2011, Ghedin 5 & 2 in Antalya in 2012. -- Edited by steven on Friday 7th of February 2014 09:55:08 PM
It has just been announced that Group I will be held in Budapest, Hungary next year (w/c 3 Feb) - fortunately, they are playing it on indoor hard, not (indoor or outdoor) clay! The teams taking part and their current Fed Cup rankings are: 15 Belgium (Flipkens 20, Wickmayer 67) 17 Great Britain (Robson 3...
Mirabelle Njoze comfortably beat Petia Arshinkova last week, and gets the chance to repeat the trick in a G1. Joel Cannell won a tight 3 setter against his opponent in October. Boys R1 (L64) Joel Cannell (GBR) v Eleftherios Theodorou (GRE) Girls R1 (L64) Petia Arshinkova (BUL) v Mirabelle Njoze (GBR...
