High marks to the LTA website - it looks like they are going to make proper use of their map after all now that Wimbledon is out of the way - see http://www.lta.org.uk/News/This-Week-Map/

So - it's Big Ivo tomorrow. The H2H is 2-0 in Andy's favour, but they were both close 3 set matches with 2 tiebreaks in each. Andy can do it - if he keeps focussed. But these fast courts do make Ivo a big threat - as Fed found out. . . I'm just praying for a later start!
Marcus is in another Tennis Tournament again this week. It is the 2008 JR Bozeman City Tournament. Marcus is entered in the 12s Singles, 12s Doubles and 12s Mixed Doubles. All draws have a consolation draw if you lose your first round match, so Marcus is guaranteed at least six matches. His draws have j...
Andy has yet to beat NoDjo (head-to-head 0-4), three defeats on hard, one on clay, the latter the most recent (Monte-Carlo this year). He may take it to three sets, for once, but I can't see that record changing to 1-4 here, to be honest, unless he does something really extraordinary tomorrow!
Next week in Ireland. Surface is "Artificial clay", which probably means Har Tru and not manufactured red clay... Entry lists (in Excel format). Jessica Ren's last I...
The head-to-head stands at 1-0, Andy having beaten Carlos in straight sets (2 & 4) in the last 16 in Toronto two years ago. He should be able to repeat the feat tomorrow. That said, Moyá is enjoying something of a revival at the moment... -- Edited by Stircrazy at 23:10, 2008-07-31
Edit: Updated with final results and new official DC rankings, as in Drew's post below. The World Group playoff draw is going to take place at 10 am on Wednesday 16 April, so here's a quick update to the list I compiled after we lost to Argentina, based on this weekend's Zone 1 results so far. After the Arg...

R1: STOOP, Georgie (GBR) 363 v BLAJKEVITCH, Khristina (CAN) WC 1068
If Georgie wins this match she will play the winner of Madison Brengle and the number 1 seed Sunitha Rao.
Jamie M has teamed up with Simon Aspelin here. First round opponents are Bopanna & Cerretani (IND/USA). Wonder what's happened to Aspelin's usual partner, Julian Knowle (AUT)?
We have the top 4 ranked brits playing here (I think); Anne, Katie, Bally, South. Anne just got into the MD by the skin of her teeth and the other three in the QD. GL girls! Qualie draw should be out in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
Jamie Delgado & Ross Hutchins hop from San Marino into Italy and they are the 4th seeds here. In the first round they play Corrado Borroni & Stefano Ianni.
I'm sure many of you use the function on the ATP site to search the rankings by country, to see all the ranked Brits in one list. I noticed tonight that you can search by "Scotland" although no results show up. I wonder why this is? Surely it should either show Andy, Jamie B et al. or not be there....

Querrey has just disposed of PHM by 6-4 4-6 6-3 to proceed to a R2 encounter with Andy. The head-to-head is 1-0, with Andy seeing off Sam 5 & 2 in the last 16 in Newport two years ago. Given the improvement in Andy's game lately, I expect him to repeat the feat tomorrow (?)...
