Apart from the Nationals there are a couple of Grade 2s this week, and Billy Harris is our sole representative here. If he wins his round 2 match he will probably have the tough prospect of facing second seed Thai-Son Kwiatkowski R1 (L64) (16) Billy Harris (GBR) bye
QR1: Gregory Howe UNR v Mertcan Arslan (TUR) UNR This looks like Gregory's best chance of making a main draw in ages. If he wins this match he will play one of two unranked teenagers in the final qualifying round. Arslan doesn't have a profile page on either the ATP or ITF site.
IF Andy plays - and that is in some doubt - he has got a pretty nasty draw compared to some of the other top 4. He is seeded to meet: R1 - Bye R2 - Melzer or Querrey R3 - Roddick QF - Del Potro, though Isner is in that section too SF - Djokovic F - Federer He usually does well against big servers, though. -- Edited b...

Carpenter is a DA. Golding has made a late entry as a qualifing wild card. QR1: (q1-WC) Oliver Golding WR 510 v (WC) Benjamin Strunk (GER) UNR QR1: Alexander Gasson UNR v (q9) Maxime Tabatroung (FRA) WR 1377

Robbo's into MD! Britains Laura Robson, an Olympics silver medalist in mixed doubles with Andy Murray, and the tournaments oldest entrant Kimiko Date Krumm, 41, of Japan are among other qualifying entrants. http://www.cincytennis.com/news/oudin_gibbs_davis_sock_headline_american_qu...
Whatever happened to the Ren sisters? They were top junior's in the world at one point? Also the Askews were very good too and seemed like there was no end to how many of them there were? I also I once saw Joanne Henderson and Francesca Stephenson play at a tournament in Bournemouth and they both looked l...
A quick query, more than anything. I was just looking at the GB v US men's tennis rankings. Quite interesting: if you look at the number of young (1990 up) players within the top 500 (allowing leeway to 510, to get in one or two who are "on the line"), GB actually looks quite good ... 7 players to...
DAs for Evans, Bloomfield, Milton, Fitzpatrick, Golding, Corrie, Burton, Thornley, Willis, Pauffley and Edmund. I am guessing wild cards for Carpenter, Broady, Bambridge and Hudson as they were all down for qualifying but don't appear on the draw, although the first two might have sneaked DAs if...
