Matt, Kyle, Luke & Liam are all direct acceptances here but there is only one Brit in qualifying - the Brits who qualified in Pensacola (at least two of whom I think are at Florida State) are at the University of Florida) all withdrew from this event a couple of weekends ago. QR2: Jakob Kolb UNR v Ale...
Group B (2) Max Mirnyi & Daniel Nestor (BLR/CAN) (4) Robert Lindstedt & Horia Tecau (SWE/ROU) (5) Mahesh Bhupathi & Rohan Bopanna (IND/IND) (8) Jonathan Marray & Frederik Nielsen (GBR/DEN) Fleming & Hutchins are the first alternates after the Poles said they didn't want to c...
L32: (7) Neil Pauffley WR 533 v Francesco Vilardo (ITA) WR 805 Neil won their previous meeting, in the Dominican Republic back in 2008, with a 3rd set retirement.
Israel unusually hosts a couple of Grade 3s this month, and has attracted quite a strong field for this grade, led by local star Or Ram-Harel, who has won several matches in Futures events. Peter Ashley and Josh Sapwell head the British contingent, but Josh has a tough draw againstthe second seed R1 (L...
Two recent winners of doubles titles Lewis Roskilly and Lana Rush are here, with the latter surprisingly the top seed (unusual to have no top 200 players in a Grade 3). Lana has started her campaign with a comfortable win. Boys R1 (L32) Lewis Roskilly (GBR) v (LL) Thibault Cancel (FRA) Antoine Hoang (F...
Given the number of Brits in the doubles, I thought I'd start a dedicated thread. R1: (1) Jamie Delgado & Ken Skupski vs (WC) Richard Gabb & Ashley Hewitt R1: Josh Goodall & Jamie Murray ( ) vs David Guez & V...
L32: Lewis Burton WR 750 v Kittiphong Wachiramanowong (THA) WR 552 (the highest-ranked unseeded player ...) L32: (4) Alex Ward WR 447 v (Q) Seo Yong-Bum (KOR) WR 1289 L32: Marcus Willis WR 822 v (8) Antoine Escoffier (FRA) WR 522

L32: Amanda Carreras WR 384 v Tatiana Bua (ARG) WR 434 (CH 372 in 2009) H2H 0-1 - Bua was the player who beat Amanda 3 & 5 in her last 10K Final in Madrid in September.
With Laura and Heather's late season heroics, things have mostly been looking positive at the top end of GB women's tennis lately. However, here's a slightly sobering statistic: at the start of this year, 32 members of this board predicted what the ranking of the then top-10 GB women would be tomorro...
Gabi Taylor starts her pursuit of a second title in Morocco (and maybe a golden racket) with a gentle looking opener against a local girl R1 (L32) Gabriella Patricia Taylor (GBR) v Tilida El Yazidi (MAR)
With many of the players in Osaka decamping to South Korea, this is quite a strong field for a Grade 2 event, with Katie Boulter and Anna Brogan forced to qualify - which they did in style. All the draws are much tougher than the first round draws in Osaka, with Katie's opponent having won the Thai Grade 2 l...
Matt Short should be joining Kyle, Luke & Liam in the main draw this week. QR1: James Chaudry UNR v Dillon Pottish (USA) UNR QR1: Joe Salisbury UNR v Oleg Mironchikov (RUS) UNR QR1: Connor Glennon UNR v Raphael Werner (SUI) UNR -- Edited by steven on Saturday 27th of October 2012 01:15:46 PM
Originally scheduled for Delhi, but moved late on to Pune, this is the second of the WTA events pitched below International Level for emerging tennis geographies. Points and monetary rewards are higher than an ITF $100K, but on the evidence so far, the field depth is far short of that. As can be evide...
Last week Adam Glynn was beaten in the doubles final (by Christopher Reynolds and partner), and experienced the same fate (to different opponents) this week. However he went one step further in the singles to claim his maiden title in impressive style - losing no more than a handful of games in any mat...
After last week's Thai Grade 2, three of the Brits decamped to Malaysia and are having a good tournament Boys R2 (L32) (3/WC) Callum Poland-Smith (GBR) d. Alberto Lim (PHI) 5-7 6-0 6-1 (6) Samm Butler (GBR) d. Wei-De Lin (TPE) 6-2 4-6 6-4 R3 (3/WC) Callum Poland-Smith (GBR) d. (14) Sahil Deshmukh (IND)...
A highly successful week for British junior tennis with winners and finalists all over the place. One boy stayed in Thailand after last week's Grade 2, and Bjorn Thomson has reached his maiden final in the week of his 15th birthday. The final is a tough one against a strong Aussie who beat him last week,...
