Nice long piece on Watters. The main theme is sort of outdated (I only found it yesterday) but there's a lot of extra info in it that most of us will enjoy.
Seeing him lose today makes me wonder what Andy's best win was. What I mean by best win is what was the best player (playing reasonably well) that he's beaten? I know he's beaten a misfiring Federer and a below par Davydenko twice? each. But which top 10 or top 20 player has he beaten when his opponent hasn...

I still have a blog from day 2 at Queen's to do too, but that'll have to wait until we have a lean per...

US tournament dates have been moved because of US college basketball !The effect on ATP players was ever so obvious: withdrawals, retirements, injuries.

Managed to see a bit of the Junior Exhibition at Wimbledon yesterday - think the girls were 10 and Under. Anyone know who they were and if they are good? They seemed to have good strokes and lovely footwork and looked very enthusiastic
Second match on Centre tomorrow. Bit of a grudge match, as the head-to-head is 1-1, both encounters in Indian Wells. Andy won the first last year in three sets, while Haas won the re-match this year when Andy was still not in the best of form. Gonna be a toughie... -- Edited by Stircrazy at 21:42,...
