No draw available yet, obviously, but a thread to flag up the fact that Colin & Ross have been seeded 13th & "Booty & Stretch", as they used to be known in the good old days, 14th. I guess Eric will once again become an honorary Brit for the duration of the tournament! Also in the d...

And so the 2013 season starts with indecent haste. Tom Hill and Harriet Dart have opted to spend Christmas in Mexico seeking points in one of the weaker Grade A events. If Tom wins his opener he is likely to face top seed Silva of Portugal in round 2 Boys R1 (L64) Tom Hill (GBR) v Rishab Agarwal (IND) Girls...

Does anyone have any feedback / suggestions on what to change from the 2012 format before I copy the worksheets and open entires? I think we should go with the rankings run that includes the last UK tournament results as the end date, and given Bally's proposed Indian Wells return, I think we should sti...
It's been the best year in memory for slam titles (obviously!) and Futures titles, but the worst year I can remember (so far!) for Brits in Challengers (singles) and only the 2nd year this century (but also the 2nd in the last three years) when we have had no Challenger singles finalists - indeed, Jame...
Isaac Stoute has reached the final here (his first since a G5 in the same country nearly 2 years ago), as Miriambee noted in another thread Boys R1 (L64) Eric Kipkoech (KEN) d. Edward Harwood (GBR) 2-6 6-4 6-2 Kevin Cheruiyot Langat (KEN) d. (WC) Riaan Lakhani (GBR) 6-3 6-1 (5) Isaac Stoute (GBR) bye R2 (...
Jay Clarke is the main British hope in the under 14s, and he reached the final of the warm-up highfaluting named Nike International Masters this week. He is seeded to meet the European number 1 Mikael Yemer in the quarters Under 14 R1 (L128) Alexis Canter (GBR) v Michael Li (USA) (8) Mwendwa W Mbithi (US...
I was a bit late to post on the 2012 review thread, so thought I would start a new thread looking ahead to 2013 and what ranking targets are attainable for our top female tennis players. In ranking order : 1. Hev Watson Seems to be having a good offseason, breaking personal bests in the Gym and sounding rea...
Courtney Nguyen (@si_btbaseline) tweets a link to a rather amusing ATP Year End video. Evidently, they can't use footage from the non-ATP tournaments ... so no Grand Slams and no Olympics. Hence we get lots of footage of Djokovic and the Bryans at the year-end championships. But when they say that i...
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere but I'm speechless at the US Open's attempt to sort their scheduling. The mens's final on a Monday, really, that seems a good idea does it ? I think we mostly could agree 'something needed to be done' and a roof and scheduling changes would help. But this looks lik...
The final rankings of 2012 are out as follows for those in the top 250ish. Bracketed figures are provisional rankings for the start of 2013, but they will be affected by points added and coming off for the Mexican Grade A over Christmas. Boys Liam Broady 14 (-) Josh Ward-Hibbert 31 (-) Kyle Edmund 35 (22...
Katy Dunne should be seeded, joined by Eleanor Dean and Jazzi Plews with the main draw out later today. We don't have any entrants in the under 16s but at the moment Jazzi is also on the entry list for the under 14 Junior Orange Bowl starting in 2 weeks time.

Peter Ashley is the top seed here, and Freya Christie looks to build on a good week in the AEGON British Tour Masters Boys R1 (L32) (1) Peter Ashley (GBR) v (WC) Matej Svjetlicic (CRO) (Q) Joe Woolley (GBR) v (6) Milen Ianakiev (GER) Cristian Carli (ITA) v (4) Julian Cash (GBR) (7) Ivan Saveljic (MNE) v Ch...
No Alex Ward this week (he didn't enter in the first place, so clearly always intended his East Asian trip to end with Cambodia F2) but Richard Gabb should be seeded and Joshua Jones is also a DA. Two new Brits in qualies this week - 18-year-old twin brothers. Marcus has recorded a win in Futures qualie...
Tom Burn should be in the main draw here. Sadly, he has managed to pick the only hard court 10K next week he wouldn't easily be seeded at (though of course that's because it's the only one in the Tennis Europe area, even if it is in the Asian part of Turkey) - based on the entry lists: TUR - seeds WR 225-406...
