Just 2 Brits here for the Australian Open warm-up - Katy Dunne with a fairly good draw and Harriet Dart with a fairly tough one. R1 (L64) (11) Oleksandr Korashvili (UKR) v Harriet Dart (GBR) Ellen Perez (AUS) v (9) Katy Dunne (GBR)
Could this be one of the most competitive qualifying tournaments of all time to reach a $10k main draw, which in turn is one of the most overly competitive main draws I've ever seen. 4 rounds of matches just to qualify and just look at some of the names. And the next 2 USA futures events look very similar in...

Laura becomes the first Brit to make the WTA singles top 50 before her 19th bi...
I've revised my 10 random predictions for GB men in 2013 downwards a little, after the last week's juniors and Team Aegon announcements. Still rose-tinted spectacles and overly optimistic, but I hope some successes worthy of Paul the Octopus. 1. Andy Murray WILL be a winner at Wimbledon, a finalist...
