Only 9 days to go. The game against Aus A tommorow is on Sky, by the way. Some random thoughts that I have in my head right now - 1) This is England's best chance in Australia in the last two decades. Of course Australia are still the favourites given how good they are at home, but I think there's a good ch...
Although Katy Dunne et al withdrew from this event there is still British interest in the guise of Georgina Sellyn, who has a winnable opener against a local player, with third seed Danka Kovinic awaiting the winner R1 (L64) Maria Jose Chavarria (CRC) v Georgina Sellyn (GBR)
I have just completed a questionnaire re this site, it only took a few minutes. gave them a right slating re not enough on british tennis players, but forgot to mention about the uk results page having no direct link. Also that the link to the Atp does not work. If anyone else has the opportunity to do the q...
There are slim pickings this week and next on the junior ITF circuit, before the big North American tournaments. This is one of two Grade 4 tournaments this week (the other has no British interest) and Georgina Sellyn comes here on the back of a maiden quarterfinal last week in South Carolina Boys R1 (L...
I wonder if Andy/Laura plan to make a second appearance this year. If they do, there are some enticing opponents awaiting: USA: Serena Williams / John IsnerSerbia: Ana Ivanovic / Novak DjokovicBelgium: Justine Henin / Steve Darcis. France: Kristina Mladenovic / Gael Monfils Australia: TBC / L...
Here we go again, as the first event of the 2011 season starts Oliver Golding is comfortably the top seed here, and should not be troubled by his first opponent, who lost comfortably to George Morgan recently, and to Clay Crawford earlier in the year. The opening match is due to take place later today R1...
Apparently Andy has decided he really needs to work on improving his serve : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/9333233.stm Can I just say, HALLELUJAH !

Btnet has really gone down the drain recently, i remember a time when batner and stupid comments were all light hearted that everyone enjoyed but now people are too serious,no puns on booze and rape jokes are allowed etc, i purpose we get more laddish members in to btnet,other than me and knight, im goi...
Thought I'd head over here and see whats happening. A certain other site seems to have forgotten that there's more than one british player! Anyway enough bithching. The names Grant, professional musician (allegedly) with North Sea Gas. Been following tennis for years, but really got into th...
Hi guys and merry christmas to everyone ! As some of you know I was working at the ATP World Finals last month and had the chance to do interviews with Nadal, Federer and Roddick. Some of you wanted to know what it was like so here goes ! Nadal is just the nicest guy though he didn't take too kindly to my sugges...
Peter Ashley aims to go one better than Luke Bambridge last year, who won the Eddie Herr followed by the American tournament bridging the gap to the Orange Bowl but was unable to complete the hattrick. Joshua Sapwell's fine year in Europe culminating in the Masters title earns him the number 1 seeding...
A number of our top 1996 - 1998 girls have given the tournament a miss, including Auray champion Maia Lumsden who is currently in the final of a Tennis Europe Under 14 event. However Jazzi Plews has strengthened the under 12 entry. Under 14 R1 (L128) Lana Rush (GBR) v Margret Atlason (ISL) (9=) Maria Shi...
I see Andy has missed out on the 10 person shortlist for this year's BBC Sports Personality of the Year ( I believe it is mainly or all newspaper sports editors that do the nominations, I presume 30 in all ) : Tony McCoy 30 nominations Graeme McDowell 29 ( maybe one person is anti-golf ? ) Lee Westwood 27...
A bit of variation to the other threads where they believe the players will end the year, this thread is your prediction on the highest rank our players will achieve throughout the year aswell as the lowest rank they will achieve. I will list the 2010 highs and lows for the selected below, bearing in min...
(thanks to Grant on AM.com for bringing this up) The British Tour is undergoing a bit of a revamp, with the number of tournaments increased from 21 to 29, but split into 14 Tier 1 tournaments and 15 Tier 2tournaments and what looks like a substantial increase in the prize money, Tier 1s being £6Ks (vir...
This is the only Futures event with British interest next week. Richard Gabb and Miles Bugby are DAs, while Daniel Cochrane is the 1st alternate. Top seed Victor Estrella (DOM) WR 219 is the only player in the ATP top 500 on the entry list.
Katy Dunne aims for a double in Southern Africa. Her next scheduled tournament is a Grade 1 event in Costa Rica, and I hope she sticks to the higher grades after that. R1 (L64) (1) Katy Dunne (GBR) Bye R2 (1) Katy Dunne (GBR) v Nelise Verster (RSA)
