British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

I wondered what people here thought of how the DC players will respond after this loss. Jamie didn't play but, was part of the initial squad. James won a match but couldn't break serve in the 2nd tie. Dan's first match seemed a brave 5 setter, his 2nd the a disappointing one. How will they bounce back sa...

Richard Gabb and Lewis Burton have been joined by James Hignett in the main draw, after a fine win over the number 2 seed in qualifying. Dan Cochrane and Toby Martin (and Manisha Foster in the girls) all lost in final qualifying. Lewis starts against Stakhovsky Jnr - a familiar opponent for Brits, who...

QL32: 8 FITZPATRICK, Anna (GBR) v. WC CHOISEL, Ludivine (FRA) RODIER, Charlotte (FRA) v. 12 BACQUET, Emilie (FRA)

Our 1993 girls have struggled to make an impact this year - here is a chance for three of them to buck the trend, though the field here, and in Brazil (next two weeks) is strong. R1 (L64) Elisha Gabb (GBR) v (WC) Isaura Enrique Aguilar (PAR) Lucia Butkovska (SVK) v Daneika Borthwick (GBR) Lucy Brown (GBR)...

The final week of the Bangladesh trilogy includes Amy Askew, hopefully recovered from whatever caused her withdrawal last week. Eden Silva again was granted a wildcard, which I would have thought she would have been better off refusing to gain useful experience of battling to qualify. Boys R1 (L64...

No sign of Golding (see the Knight's question on the Terrasa thread) or Inglot, though in Dom's case hopefully that means he scraped into the main draw. Four rounds of qualifying in both Spain and Portugal this week. QR1: Tom Farquharson UNR v Ruan Roelofse (RSA) WR 1174 QR1: Matthew Kinsler UNR v Adam...

Tipsy has beaten Andy in Moscow on hard in 2 tight sets in 2008 and at Queens in 3 sets in 2006. Andy's other 2 wins being in St Petersburg on ha...

Maia Lumsden won this tournament over the weekend. Questions for David. How does this performance rank in the grand scheme of things ? Is it comparable with the Eddie Herr on a European level ?

Laura Deigman is progressing well again in another weak Grade 5 tournament (only 21 entries with around half unranked), reaching the semis in singles and doubles so far R1 (L32) (1) Laura Deigman (GBR) BYE R2 (1) Laura Deigman (GBR) d.
