Scott Clayton is top seed, and as it is only a Grade 4 event he needs to win it to make any significant rankings progression. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Scott Clayton (GBR) v Scott Cayre (FRA) (WC) Aleksei Nerushenko (ESP) v Sebastien Rey (GBR) Girls R1 (L32) (1) Aleksandra Zenovka (RUS) v Lolade Ogungbesan (GBR...

A tougher draw for Jamie Murray & Paul Hanley in Kiwi-land than for Colin & Ross in Oz: R1: (4) Santiago González & Christopher Kas (MEX/GER) vs Paul Hanley (AUS) & Jamie Murray I seem to recall that González is one of Jamie's many previous, not very long-term, partners...
OK, as discussed in another thread, I thought it worth having a little competitioin, predicting the rankings of our currently top ranked teenagers. The competition will be based on the following, which may sound familiar. I hope you don't mind me stealing your rules, RBBOT 1. Predict the senior wo...
QR1: Heather Watson WR 92 v (wc) Bojana Bobusic (AUS) WR 241 (q3) Alberta Brianti (ITA) WR 70 and (q8) Kristina Barrois (GER) WR 91 are the seeds in Heather's section - which means she missed out on a seeding by 1. Even more unlucky is Naomi Broady, who missed out on a place in qualifying by 2 places last wee...

Our quintet should be looking for an improvement on last week's showing as the Latin American Circuit moves from clay to hard for a couple of weeks. It was fairly inevitable that Artur Completo would be drawn against a Brit - he played 13 different ones last year. R1 (L64) Tom Hill (GBR) v Artur Completo...

In 2009 Jennifer Ren was a winner, and Oliver Golding a finalist, here. We have 5 this year trying to emulate those performances Boys R1 (L32) (3) Callum Poland-Smith (GBR) v Vincent Thierry Schneider (GER) Julian Cash (GBR) v Serdar Bojadjieva (SWE) Girls R1 (L32) Emilia Granstrom (SWE) v Rebeccas...
A stronger British presence in the girls event than last week, though Pippa Horn and Georgina Sellyn will have to tackle the top 2 seeds if they win their openers. Pippa will do well to win her match, against an opponent who has won a minimum of 2 matches in every ITF main draw she has been in. R1 (L64) (WC)...

Elena Baltacha will be in the main draw here but Anne is likely to be the first Brit to play a match in a 2012 event: QR1: (q1) Anne Keothavong WR 72 v (wc) Emily Fanning (NZL) UNR 4th on Centre after 20.30 GMT (NZ is GMT +13 at the moment) Fanning is 16 years old and is world junior no. 55. She is listed as ambid...
No draw on ITF yet but Emily has tweeted: "1st draw of 2012 out+i play a romanian first up 2mro.tummy healed,prep's been gd+i can't wait to compete healthy again.let battle commence!" so unless the entry list is incomplete, that must mean: L32: Emily Webley-Smith WR 258 v Madalina Gojnea...
Indiana remarked in another thread about the depth of talent on the boys' side amongst 94-96 born. Since the last event of 2011 has been added (the first of 2012, the Casablanca Grade A, starts on Boxing Day) it's possible to work out the rankings for the start of 2012 (give or take a position, for the odd...
QR1: James Ward WR 162 v (wc) Mousa Zayed (QAT) UNR If James can get past the 17-year-old Qatari, he could face 5th seed Martin Klizan in QR2. Klizan is the Slovakian no. 3 and played two singles rubbers in each of Slovakia's DC ties last year so is more than likely to be one of Wardy's opponents in the Febru...
I know there are a few prediction threads about, but there don't appear to be any proper competition ones like Shhh has organised so well over the last couple of years, but will not be doing for next year. So I thought I'd do one for 2011, this time based on 6 GB men and 6 women singles players, and once again...
