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...
L32: Alex Bogdanovic WR 189 v (7) Dominik Meffert (GER) WR 173 L32: Josh Goodall WR 237 v Ivan Dodig (CRO) WR 196 Boggo has beaten Meffert both times they have played indoors before, 5-7 6-3 6-4 in a Shrewsbury Challenger semi in 2006 and 4 & 4 in the Belgrade Challenger last year, but Meffert beat him...
Yet another Brit gets a top seed in R1 L32: Mel South WR 160 v (1) Stefanie Vögele (SUI) WR 72 L32: (4) Katie O'Brien WR 90 v Nikola Hofmanova (AUT) WR 195
Obviously had my head buried in the sand as I didn't hear any rumours about this - Andy will be wearing Adidas kit from Jan 2010 starting at the Hopman Cup. Has this been general knowledge for months? Article posted on Tennishead site in the 'on Tour' section
Good to be starting one of these threads again. The match will be third on the Stadium Court, after the Almagro/Ferrer encounter, which is scheduled to kick off at 14.00 GMT (technically the fifth, but the first of the first two gets under way at 10.00 GMT). There is no head-to-head, as these two have n...
Bradshaw and Jones will be in the MD. QR1: GREGOR, Max UNR v FIORENTINO, Carlton (USA) UNR (CH 1153) QR1: DOERR, Chris v BYE QR2: DOERR, Chris UNR v FERGUSON, Lachlan (USA) UNR (CH 1456)
Another horrible qualie draw of 128 and the return of DC player in waiting dobby dee. QR1: DEE, Robert UNR v NEBOLSIN, Yury (RUS) UNR QR1: CARPENTER, Jack WR 1721 v PROKHORENKO, Evgeny (RUS) UNR QR1: KING, Sam UNR v (WC) MENDEZ-GARCIA, Francisco (ESP) UNR QR1: MORGAN, George UNR v SEMAL, Robin (BEL) UN...
Qualifying sections with British players in: (3)Betina Jozami (ARG) v BYE Sarah Gronert (GER) v Anna Smith (GBR) Olivia Sanchez (FRA) v Julia Kushnereva (RUS) (7)Anais Laurendon (FRA) v Laura Robson (GBR)
Laura Robson has sneaked in as an alternate here and is now on live scores against Zuzana Ondraskova (CZE) WR 180 in the first round. Weird she got a main draw wild card here last year and didn't even get a qualifying one this year!
I know it's a bit of early to start talking about this but anyway. Bally and O'Brien have withdrawn from this tournament already but there is still plenty of interest with the focus being on the juniors this time. Five of the world's top juniors are slated to appear next week. Babos, Bogdan, Heather , La...
Big milestones for two GB doubles players today - Ken has ended up even higher than I thought at WR 50 (Colin is WR 53) and Jonny has cracked the top 100 (up 1 at 100) - Hutch is still the top-ranked Brit at WR 47.
So Andy will be top seed here along with the likes of Roddick, Davydenko, Tsonga and the defending champion David Ferrer. With Delpo only a couple of hundred points behind hopefully Andy will have a good week and keep the US open champion behind him. Andy is defending 100 more points than him so he needs...
Morgan Phillips has snuck into qualifying here at this ATP 500 event and faces the 7th seed Ivan Navarro WR 135. Don't see much chance of a victory against Navarro (a serve/volleyer) indoors but should be a good experience for the ever ambitious Morgan. The match is 4th on court tomorrow with play star...

Been looking for the existing 'Ricoh Matchfacts' threads but they seem to have been deleted? Update on Murray... SERVING STATS... Bit of a surprise on second serve points won 6th !!!!! RETURNING STATS... This is his best showing on returns since i started looking at these on the ATP site.
Announced on LTA Twitter. Real shame, got sidetracked for some much less talented doubles players and definitely deserved to be a solid top 50 doubles player
