Tomorrow evening, 7.45 UK time. Ideal for most people - but guess who has a stupid committee meeting? H2H 1-1, though Andy won the later encounter in the Queen's final this year. Blake won a meeting on clay back in 2006. You would expect Andy to win if he isn't too tired/thrown by the change of surface. Ch...
Just thought that the latest update from Naomi's website about her current injury confirms there is still no love lost with the LTA . When is this all going to stop? Is all this bad blood having a negative impact on her tennis development ?
This topic needed to be started as it raises so many key questions Is she female? how many pints would it take on a night out? how did she get pregnant?
You may have noticed we seem to have been infiltrated with feline sympathisers. Several rather awful avatars have appeared showing 'The Demon Cat' as some sort of cuddly pet...please please do not be fooled. Cats HATE humans... When Lucifer was cast from heaven what did you think he took with him......

Jamie B has decided that 1 weeks rest was enough and returns to action here. Jamie is top seed in quali so you would hope for 3 more points. QR1: (1) Jamie Baker WR 346 v Jamere Jenkins WR 1482 (USA) Jenkins is a danger as he reached the final of the orange Bowl last year and has been a top 20 junior
These two have met once before with Andy winning 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(1) in the semi-final of St. Petersburg in 2007. Youzhny is coming into some real form recently after an iffy start to the year. He is one of the underestimated players out there, imo, and after seeing Andy's play today I think he could easil...
Interesting article in Scotland on Sunday today. Apart from telling how the poor guy will be all alone in Florida this Christmas, aww... it is interesting to see his logic for bypassing Doha this time and getting to Australia earlier. Seems to make sense to me, and I hope an early indication that the...
Stefan Sterland-Markovic continues to tackle low grade tournaments, and could be joined by Josh Ward-Hibbert, who is in final qualifying. Beth Askew lost in qualifying for the girls event. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Stefan Sterland-Markovic (GBR) v Daryl Monfils (FRA) (6) Alexandre Massa (FRA) v Lloyd G...
Wot no thread yet? Andy leads the H2H 6-1, but the first five wins were before Nando pulled his socks up and became the player he is today. And the last win, he had a bit of an injury. He is the sort of hard hitter to whom I feel Andy is a bit vulnerable. Plus, Verdasco is fighting to confirm his place at the O2. F...
Not before 7pm UK time tomorrow on the main court. I have to be out and can't record a livestream without being around. These two have never played at any level. They are exactly the same age, to the day! The Argentinian is at present ranked #64 with a career high of #54 back in September this year. His YTD...
A large British entry here, headed by Chris Simpson after his recent spell tacking Mens Futures. The 64 draws give opportunities for a number of 1993 boys and 1994 girls. Boys R1 (L64) Paul Gaetti (LUX) v Toby Martin (GBR) (WC) James Junior Storme (BEL) v (6) Daniel Cochrane (GBR) James Hignett (GBR) v...
The girls stay in Thailand to conclude their Asian tour with a low grade event. Elisha, Daneika and Lucy would all need to reach the final for the singles event to count amongst their top 6. R1 (L32) (1) Elisha Gabb (GBR) v (q) Areeporn Wanichayaranich (THA) (WC) Chanikarn Silakul (THA) v Amy Askew (GBR...
Andy in same half as Fed, same quarter as Delpo. Should both reach QF, winner of that match could have a big say on who finishes year end number 4 Also No Roddick, possibly out for London too? Federer (1) Bye Benneteau - Petzschner Qualifier - Wawrinka Bye (15) Monfils Cilic (12) Bye A.Beck - Qualifier Ko...
I missed all the fun yesterday evening, as I was out for a meal, but by all accounts, Andy's going to have to raise his game a bit if he's to get the better of Montañés. That said, they've played one another twice this year, in the first rounds of both Doha & Indian Wells, & Andy's seen him off in...
