L128: (4) Andy Murray WR 4 v Ryan Harrison (USA) WR 84 (CH 66 last Aug) Harrison beat a "Ward GBR" in QR1 of both RG (James) and Wimbledon (Alex) last year but has never played Muzz before. Looking further ahead, the winner plays Malisse or Roger-Vasselin in R2 and possible later opponents co...
L128: Elena Baltacha WR 54 v Stéphanie Foretz Gacon (FRA) WR 107 (CH 62 in 2003) H2H 0-2, both in 3 sets, but back in 2008-9. Winner probably faces Clijsters in R2. L128: Anne Keothavong WR 73 v Mona Barthel (GER) WR 44 (= CH) H2H 2-1, all in late 2011 - Barthel won in Shrewsbury, Anne the last two in Linz a...
Georgina Sellyn is back on hard courts this week, but without Tom Hill. Justine De Sutter is in the opposite half of the draw, so any rematch this week will be welcome, given that it would be a final, and also entry into the top 100 R1 (L64) (10) Georgina Sellyn (GBR) Bye
The good news: Oli has avoided the seeds in R1. The bad news: He has drawn the (unseeded) winner of last week's title here. L32: Oliver Golding WR 645 v Aldin Setkic (BIH) WR 535 (CH 309 in 2010)
DAs for Goodall, Evans, Ward, Eaton, Cox, Bloomfield, Rice, Thornley and Burton. Probably also for Fitzy who was 2nd alt with 2 SEs to clear. Looks like wilds cards for Morgan, Gabb and Hudson. Qualifying draw again fails to attract a full field, this week just 42 entries. 2 Brits are certain to come th...
Phllips is a DA here. Once again the qualifying draw is a monster 128 man event. QR1: (q4) Ed Corrie WR 720 v Finn Meinecke (GER) WR 1731 QR1: (q5) Matt Short WR 801 v Gordon Garrett (USA) UNR Looks like Ed is playing his match here at 8:30 AM (local time) before heading back to sunrise to play the doubles f...
Tom Colautti starts his 2012 campaign in a strong Grade 4, where despite being ranked inside 150 he is not top seed. R1 (L32) James Elliott (GBR) v Marin Mise (CRO) (Q) Christopher Hobgarski (GER) v (2) Thomas Colautti (GBR)
Boggo should be getting his 2012 season under way in the main draw here, but before that: QR1: (wc) Jonathan Brooklyn UNR v Thomas Shubert (USA) WR 1513 Jonathan has had a ranking point before, after qualifying then beating Massimo Capone (now ranked around 600) in R1 of a Futures event in Nottingha...
Tough draws for both our representatives - & there's just no escaping one or other of "the bloody Poles" : R1: Liezel Huber (USA) & Colin Fleming vs (3) Maria Kirilenko & Daniel Nestor (RUS/CAN) R1: Abigail Spears & Mariusz Fyrstenberg (USA/POL) vs Shuai Peng (CHN...
Smethurst is a DA QR1: (q9) Jack Carpenter WR 1118 v BYE QR1: James Allemby UNR v Matan Shay Ganzi (ISR) UNR Carpenter plays the winner of Allemby's match in round. Filip Horansky is the other seed in this section.
Samuel Sutton is our only representative here in the last of 3 high grade events in India, where Joshua Ward-Hibbert made his breakthrough last year R1 (L32) Samuel Sutton (GBR) v (5) Sahil Deshmukh (IND)
Evans, Ward, Eaton, Bloomfield and Rice are DAs. Thornley, Burton, Fitzpatrick, Morgan, Martin and Gabb were on the alternative list but are not part of the qualifying draw. Presumably 4 of them got wild cards and hopefully the other two sneaked in. The last ITF list had Thornley and Burton as 3rd and...
The draw hasn't appeared on the site yet, but the Beeb must have got hold of the entry, as these paragraphs appear at the end of its report on James Ward's & Laura Robson's respective QR1 wins: There are two all-British pairings in the men's doubles draw, Colin Fleming and Ross Hutchins and Ja...
Eleanor Dean is seeded to reach the quarter-finals here, and as it is a Grade 1, rather than last week's Grade 2, another quarter-final would give her a rankings boost Her doubles partner Antonia Lottner is a possible quarter-final opponent. R1 (L64) (8) Eleanor Dean (GBR) Bye
This tournament saw British success through Dan Smethurst in 2008, and has a weak field because of there being 2 other Grade 1s this week Boys R1 (L64) Billy Harris (GBR) v Mohamed Shabib (DEN) (4) Sam Hutt (GBR) Bye Christopher Pearce (GBR) v (Q) Igor Zubov (RUS) (11) Joshua Page (GBR) Bye
Morgan Phillips looks to have made it in as the last DA. QR1: Matthew Short WR 801 v Martin Redlicki (USA) UNR QR1: (q12) Ed Corrie WR 718 v Jeffrey Mira Svensson (SWE) UNR Edit: spelling of Ed Corrie's surname corrected.-- Edited by Stircrazy on Saturday 14th of January 2012 02:15:09 PM
