Liam Broady and Kyle Edmund should be seeded here, and joined by Luke Bambridge, Joshua Ward-Hibbert, Sam Hutt, Jordan Angus and Jonathan Cornish.

We have (or had) a thin contingent spread over the 6 events, most exiting early. Honourable mention to Dominic West for winning 3 matches to reach the last 16 of the under 12s. However there are only 2 Brits left in singles. Live streams from every court are available via a link on the www.eddieherr.com...
L32: Matthew Short WR 816 v Chris Letcher (AUS) WR 580 Letcher, who lost 3 & 2 to Jamie B at the Leon Challenger in April, only just missed being seeded so it's not as good a R1 draw as Matthew might have hoped for in what is a relatively weak tournament.
QR1: (q6) Tara Moore WR 315 v Angelina Gabueva (RUS) WR 558 (CH 433 in 2006) The top seed in Tara's section is former world no. 18 (q2) Anne Kremer (LUX) WR 256.
vandenburg was wondering whether we should maybe have a poll as to who will be GB No 2 at the end of this year. Well, why not I've put 2 weeks time from now as the close date
The North American junior season starts today with Kyle Edmund as second seed and a group of Brits seeking points to improve their chances of making the Australian Open. Evan Hoyt is the only one of them to draw a seed, and his opponent's recent modest record gives cause to hope for an upset. Our only gi...
This year we have no direct entries, but do have three in qualifying - though it will be a struggle given the standard here.

Andy has been drawn in Group A with: Djokovic - H2H 4-6 (4-4 on hard, 0-1 indoors) Ferrer - H2H 5-3 (5-0 on hard, 1-0 indoors) Berdych - H2H 1-3 (1-2 on hard/carpet, 1-1 indoors) I would say Ferrer is a better draw than Tsonga indoors but Berdych a worse draw than Fish. If they schedule the groups on the sa...

L32: (8) Emily Webley-Smith WR 242 v (Q) Zhao Di (CHN) WR 660 Emily has a reasonable R1 draw (Zhao lost 4 & 1 to Mel in Mt Gambier) but is in the same quarter as top seed Dellacqua, who is now on a 25-match winning streak in these events.

Of the four Brits on the Alt list here, only Josh Milton has turned up. A pity in a way because half the players in the qualifying draw are unranked Finns. Having said that, the top four seeds are ranked 166-259 (and Josh is in the section with top seed Delbonis) so actually picking up any ranking points h...
I just about crashed the car after listening to Phil Tuffnel speaking about Murray's chances whilst he was comentating on the Eng v SL cricket ODI yesterday. He was asked who he thought might win Wimbledon... Tuffers replied: "Oooh I think Federer will win it..." Q: Dont you rate Murray? T...
