(3) Murray/Coetzee (GBR/RSA) v (WC) Melzer/Weissborn (AUT/AUT) It seems Murray has split with Jonny Marray, who is playing Segovia this week. They were winning challengers for fun at the start of their partnership, but the last six months had not been good, especially when they stepped up to tour l...
Last year Natalie Beazant was a winner here as top seed. Emma Devine takes over that role this time looking for a second successive title Boys R1 (L64) Jelle Sels (NED) v (Q) Alexander Croker (GBR) Jorge Wilton (GBR) v Andrea Attrice (ITA) (7) Sam Hutt (GBR) Bye Jonathan Cornish (GBR) v (WC) Daniel Vena...
Bally and Anne (with her SR) will be in the main draw here: QR1: Johanna Konta WR 304 v (wc) Mai Grage (DEN) UNR QR1: Heather Watson WR 262 v (q8) Eleni Daniilidou (GRE) WR 180 Katie, Cav and Anna Smith were all down to play qualifying here, but Katie is still in Vigo, the fact that Anna's QF was 'delayed' by a...
Morgan Phillips and Andrew Gregory are once again DAs in Spain. Also: QR1: James Hignett UNR v Sergio Bellester (ESP) UNR - winner to play (q2) Gonçalo Falcão (POR) UNR QR1: James Allemby UNR v Pedro Lizondo Osset (ESP) UNR - winner to play (q7) Arnau Dachs WR 1387 or Sergio Barranco (ESP) UNR
The first of the three team events, organised by age category, started this week. Great Britain, represented by Josh Sapwell, Alexander Sendegeya and Peter Ashley in the under 14s beat Portugal and Spain (both 3-0) before losing 2-1 to Poland, so will be unseeded for the finals this weekend in Spain...
QR1: (q6) Chris Eaton WR 513 v Michael Hui (USA) UNR Unfortunately, Chris will probably have to get past Samuel Groth, probably the top Brit-basher at the moment, to get into the main draw and get any points.
Emily is playing here but there's still no draw up anywhere (last year they even had draws/OoPs on their own site, but judging by the fact that even the Almaty 25K hasn't appeared at http://www.ktf.kz/news/itf.php, I'm not hopeful for Astana either), however she has tweeted "little w...girl...
L32: Jamie Baker WR 247 v (4) Josselin Ouanna (FRA) WR 133 Ouanna was WR 88 as recently as last October, reached the Recanati Challenger semis last week and is on a 9-0 Brit-bashing streak stretching back to 2006, when he lost 5-0 ret. to Mackin, a scoreline that suggests he was struggling with injury o...
Ryler DeHeart WR 265 is the 'ringer' top seed in qualifying here. Not surprisingly, he won his QR2 match & 0! The other seeds are all ranked outside the top 1200 and there are no ranked players at all in Bugby's section. QR2: Miles Bugby UNR beat Blake Emery (USA) UNR by 6-2 3-0 ret. QR3: Miles Bugby U...
Having discussed how Laura and Heather's rankings would look once Heather's latest points were added, in the Wrexham thread, I thought I would list the latest top 10 of these girls born in 1992 or later. 143161McHale, Christina11/05/92USA44319162164Tomljanovic, Ajla 07/05/93CRO3721716...
Murray has 4-0 love record, and has never dropped a set, against Querrey but with the exception of this years Wimbledom all of those go back at least 2 years and Querrey has made big improvements since then. If Murray plays well his all round game should be far to good for Querrey but if he doesn't it could...
Morgan Phillips and Andrew Gregory are DAs here. QR1: James Hignett UNR v Jose-Manuel Garcia-Vigara (ESP) UNR QR1: Richard Brooks WR 1606 v Santos Sanchez-Patino (ESP) WR 1428 QR1: James Allemby UNR v Juan-Samuel Arauzo-Martinez (ESP) UNR
Katie is likely to be seeded 2 in the main draw here and Naomi Broady may be seeded too. QR2: (q3) Amanda Carreras WR 493 beat Jara Ghadri (GER) WR 1022 by 3-1 ret. FQR: (q3) Amanda Carreras WR 493 v (q16) Carmen López-Blanco (ESP) WR 1005 or Brittany Blalock (USA) UNR
Met twice before, andy winning both, on clay in monte carlo 2008, and before that in washington in 2006, both in straight sets. Andy will have to up his game, but im sure he can pull through tonight, another late one.
It occurred to me that my post about the doubles competition on the singles thread would get buried once the QR2 singles matches got under way, hence this new thread. Wouldn't you just know it: (4) Rohan Bopanna & Aisam ul-Haq Qureshi (IND/PAK) (WR 15) vs Colin Fleming & Ken Skupski (WR 27) Ro...
Dan Smethurst seems to have come home for the week instead of staying in Italy and is the 'ringer' in the draw, though given their respective form, it'll be interesting if he plays George Morgan in the FQR. I'm not sure if the overall increase in strength of the Q draw relative to recent 10Ks is due to thi...
Richard Bloomfiled doesnt do things easy does he? He could have gone to Vancouver challenger where he would have been 4th seed in qualifying, instead he appears here in a qualifying draw of 24 as the last entry. I expect he has memories of that match against Arnoud Clement when he took him to 3 sets and a 3...
Here's a turn-up for the books - Jamie M with a new partner: R1: Jeff Coetzee (RSA) & Jamie Murray vs Alexandr Dolgopolov & Stéphane Robert (UKR/FRA) At least they're not facing seeds!
