Shao-Chi Yang (TPE) 6-1 6-3 R2 Thomas Colautti (GBR) v (6) Aleksandr Ivanovich Spirin (...

I don't Twitter, and so had missed this until a friend alerted me this morning. For anyone else that might have missed it, there is a 5 minute documentary style film (part of a longer work apparently in production) of 12 year old Heather just as she is about to leave Guernsey to attend Bollettieri for the...

Unlike with the girls there are a fair sprinkling of ITF top 300 players in the under 18 draw, headed by Scott Clayton, ATP ranked Nicholas Jones and Peter Ashley. Our top 5 will be on their way to Canada this week for a Grade 1. Lewis Roskilly and Julian Cash are the top seeds in the under 16s whilst the tri...
A really strong line up this week with several ranked players. Lewis Burton has fallen by the wayside to Scott Whitbread but other seeds remain in for quarters and semis today. Richard Bloomfield vs Neil Pauffley Andrew Fitzpatrick vs Jack Carpenter Marcus Willis vs Scott Whitbread Tom Burns vs...
In a departure from tradition all the Nationals are taking place this year in the same week. The under 12s are at the West Hants Club, and the other 3 all in Nottingham. The most interesting of the girls' events is the under 14 where all our top players are in the draw. Indeed the draws for the under 16s/18...

There's a long tradition of Britain playing the USA at women's tennis, starting in 1923 with the Wightman Cup. It has largely been a masochistic exercise, and the Wightman Cup was discontinued in 1990 following a number of one-sided contests. In 1973 a junior version started thanks to the Maureen Co...

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...
