Cheering for Tim and Greg but never really expecting them to win. This is one of the happie...

With 4 direct entries (Liam Broady, Kyle Edmund, Josh Ward-Hibbert and Luke Bambridge) Evan Hoyt needs to win 2 matches starting today to join them. His opener looks very winnable, though his opponent did beat Peter Ashley earlier in the year. QR1 (4) Evan Hoyt (GBR) v Naoki Nakagawa (JPN)

Tonight seems an appropriate time to mention Tony Hawks' movie "Playing the Moldovan's at Tennis", in which he attempts to beat every member of the Moldovan football team from the last time they played England, as the result of a drunken bet. The bet became a book and then a film, both of whi...
