British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Qualy draw is out. Carsten Ball's the top seed; Bloomers, Josh M & Jamie B are in the mix. Pairings involving Brits: QR1: (qWC) Marc Westgate vs Sanchai Ratiwatana (THA) QR1: Christopher Simpson vs Treat Conrad Hue...

Some awful draws for our quintet here. Only Evan Hoyt manages to avoid a strong seed in the first round, and he is likely to face the second seed next if he wins. Chris Pearce, Joshua Page and the Watts twins lost in qualifying. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Maxim Lunkin (RUS) v Sam Hutt (GBR) (3) Patrik Fabian (SVK) v J...

Q1: JANBAKHSH, Ines (GBR) v Bye Q2: JANBAKHSH, Ines (GBR) UNR lost to RINCIARI, Aldea (ITA) UNR 0-6 0-6

Full draw here. Unsurprisingly, a fair number of Brits in contention &, if the seeding is anything to go by, with a better chance of success than in the singles, hence the separate thread: R1: (1) Colin Fleming &...

L128: (4) Andy Murray WR 4 v Qualifier The winner plays the winner of a Q v Q match (there are 20 qualifiers in the draw, thanks to 4 DAs withdrawing during qualifying!), he's in Melzer's quarter and Rafa's half. Edit: OEM reporting that the first seed he could meet is Raonic. -- Edited by steven on Friday...

Mixed fortunes for our three musketeers. Oli has a nice section starting with a qualifier, and should be looking to make the quarters, where he is seeded to meet the top junior Tiago Fernandes (ATP top 400). George has a rematch of the infamous Australian Open match, where he won 10-8 in the third after...

L32: Nicola Slater WR 817 v (7) Jan Abaza (USA) WR 624 A bit of a nightmare draw for the only woman in the GB top 25 playing outside the UK this week. Abaza is only 16, so bound to be stronger than her ranking would suggest. She lost 1 & 1 to Heather Watson last November but beat Tara in 3 sets in April. She ha...

Qualifying starts today with 2 rounds. Seeds are ranked between 167 and 225 so anyone reaching final qualifying will have done well. Several have realistic chances, though Tara Moore is unlucky to find herself in a strong section headed by top seed Marina Erakovic (French Open qualifier and former...
