On court at 18:30 BST Andy has 6-5 record against Federer but has lost the last three times they have met. Federer played absolutely stunning first sets against both Berdych and Djokovic but after that his standard dropped. It increasingly looks like Federer can still play his very best but stuggles...

QR1: (q3) Richard Bloomfield WR 287 v Jared Easton (AUS) WR 783 On the face of it a godo match for Richard - Easton has been in a rut of late and hasn't won a match since March. Easton does however lead the H2H 1-0 and has a 2-0 record against Brits. The other seed in the section is Luka Grecorg WR 363 Edit: cha...
QR1: (q3) Morgan Phillips WR 406 v BYE QR2: (q3) Morgan Phillips v Inaki Belloso Ausin UNR (ESP) OR Inigo Santos-Fernandez UNR Other seed in section is WR 451 Marc Fornell Mestres
The girls draw has been weakened by the absence of over half the current top 10 ranked players, giving the opportunity for one of the Rens, seeded 1 and 3 to claim the title. One of their rivals, second seed Lucy Brown, has an intriguing first round match against in-form wildcard Pippa Horn Singles dr...
So, it's Rafa time again ! Folk will probably be largely aware of the history, but anyway it's 8 - 3 to Rafa, and it's like this... Andy's 3 wins are the 2008 US open semi final, a memorable win spread over 2 days, and his first against Rafa after 5 defeats. The other two were in the 2009 Rotterdam final and...

Not going to type all the matches up but there are a lot of british interest here, Carter is top seed in boys, Edmund is also in the draw, but has been very unlucky to be in the same 16th as portugese star silva. Still beatable thou -- Edited by DavidC on Monday 9th of August 2010 05:38:42 PM
Andy has only met Nalby twice before and the first time hardly as equals. The first was at the L32 stage of Andy's very first Wimbledon in 2005 when Nalby won 6 - 7 1 - 6 6 - 0 6 - 4 6 - 1. As I mentioned in another thread, poor young Andy basically ran out of puff after gving Nalby quite a fright. The othe...
Qualifying starts early here: QR1: (q5) Elena Baltacha WR 56 v Ayumi Morita (JPN) WR 89 H2H 0-1, 5&2 at Cincy 2009 when I assume Mortia was the higher-ranked player. The other seed in this section is Alizé Cornet. QR1: Katie O'Brien WR 128 v (q7) Kimiko Date Krumm (JPN) WR 59 This is an evil section, w...
Don't worry, this is NOT intended to be a political thread - I'm sure politics (unless it is tennis-related!) is something best kept well away from this forum ... ... but I just have to say congrats to a former regular here who is now an MP after making one of the biggest against-the-national-swing gai...
Qualifying has finished for the Nationals, taking place at the National Tennis Centre. With Oliver Golding heading for the Youth Olympics in Singapore George Morgan is top seed, scheduled to meet sometimes doubles partner Lewis Burton in the quarters, if matches go according to seeding. Second s...

I see on the latest ATP calender they have a challenger listed in Welwyn Garden City in November. I imagine this will be in Gosling where Tara Moore (and Timoa Babos) are based?
