QR1: Max Gregor UNR v Ruben Ruiz Pastor (ESP) UNR Pastor has a 2-8 record in futures qualifying but with the WR 397 in the section I don't see much hope for Max Morgan should be seeded when the MD is released
Chris Eaton turns up in qualifying here and plays Andreas Siljeström in the 1st round. If he wins that he will play 1st seed Filip Prpic WR 311. Other seed in his section is 5th seed Juun Mitsuhashi WR 440. Will do exceedingly well to qualify from that Edited to reflect the fact that the tournament will be...
(6) Joshua Milton (GBR) WR 745 vs. Daniel Geib (AUT) WR 1162 (7) James Feaver (GBR) WR 765 vs. (Q) Gibril Diarra (AUT) UNR Milton has either the WR 1090 or an unranked player in R2; in fact, the only players in his quarter in the top 1000 are him and the other seed. Unfortunately, that's Ervin Eleskovic (SW...
R32: Jamie Baker WR 249 v (2) Frederico Del Bonis (ARG) WR 122 We are not having much luck with our draws at Challenger level this week. In my opinion this is arguably the worst draw possible. Del Bonis is a very fast rising 19 year old who has won a Challenger (Rome-2) and has made two other Challenger...
Liam Broady plays his first Futures event outside the UK and is seeded to qualify. The other 3 players in his section are unranked, but one (Nick Van Der Meer) was inside 500 for a number of years QR1: James Chaudry UNR v Kristof Lybeer (BEL) UNR QR1: (q4) Liam Broady WR 1424 v Michel Kapteijns (NED) UNR
I'm going to keep a table showing Boggo's ranking which i'll try to update at least every other day. It's not perfect, I haven't gone as far as splitting players level on points, and anyone rising about 30 places during the week could come in and spoil everything. I might do some more for Evo, Wardy etc l...
Wardy turns up as a WC in qualies and is second seed with a relatively comfortable draw. Dom Inglot also arrives here and is eight seed.

Our under12s have been battling it out in qualifying groups to try to make the finals of their equivalent to the European Summer Cups in 2 weeks time. The format for both boys and girls is 4 qualifying venues with 2 round robin groups of 4 - the top 2 in each group playing off against the top two in the other g...
Unlike last year our under 14 boys team qualified for the World Junior Tennis Finals in Prostejov. The format here is that 16 nations are divided into 4 groups of 4 for round robin matches, before 2 knock-out matches We are in a group as follows (2) USA (7) GBR Korea Venezuela Our opening match tomorrow i...
(3) Murray/Coetzee (GBR/RSA) v (WC) Melzer/Weissborn (AUT/AUT) It seems Murray has split with Jonny Marray, who is playing Segovia this week. They were winning challengers for fun at the start of their partnership, but the last six months had not been good, especially when they stepped up to tour l...
Last year Natalie Beazant was a winner here as top seed. Emma Devine takes over that role this time looking for a second successive title Boys R1 (L64) Jelle Sels (NED) v (Q) Alexander Croker (GBR) Jorge Wilton (GBR) v Andrea Attrice (ITA) (7) Sam Hutt (GBR) Bye Jonathan Cornish (GBR) v (WC) Daniel Vena...
Bally and Anne (with her SR) will be in the main draw here: QR1: Johanna Konta WR 304 v (wc) Mai Grage (DEN) UNR QR1: Heather Watson WR 262 v (q8) Eleni Daniilidou (GRE) WR 180 Katie, Cav and Anna Smith were all down to play qualifying here, but Katie is still in Vigo, the fact that Anna's QF was 'delayed' by a...
Morgan Phillips and Andrew Gregory are once again DAs in Spain. Also: QR1: James Hignett UNR v Sergio Bellester (ESP) UNR - winner to play (q2) Gonçalo Falcão (POR) UNR QR1: James Allemby UNR v Pedro Lizondo Osset (ESP) UNR - winner to play (q7) Arnau Dachs WR 1387 or Sergio Barranco (ESP) UNR
The first of the three team events, organised by age category, started this week. Great Britain, represented by Josh Sapwell, Alexander Sendegeya and Peter Ashley in the under 14s beat Portugal and Spain (both 3-0) before losing 2-1 to Poland, so will be unseeded for the finals this weekend in Spain...
QR1: (q6) Chris Eaton WR 513 v Michael Hui (USA) UNR Unfortunately, Chris will probably have to get past Samuel Groth, probably the top Brit-basher at the moment, to get into the main draw and get any points.
Emily is playing here but there's still no draw up anywhere (last year they even had draws/OoPs on their own site, but judging by the fact that even the Almaty 25K hasn't appeared at http://www.ktf.kz/news/itf.php, I'm not hopeful for Astana either), however she has tweeted "little w...girl...
L32: Jamie Baker WR 247 v (4) Josselin Ouanna (FRA) WR 133 Ouanna was WR 88 as recently as last October, reached the Recanati Challenger semis last week and is on a 9-0 Brit-bashing streak stretching back to 2006, when he lost 5-0 ret. to Mackin, a scoreline that suggests he was struggling with injury o...
Ryler DeHeart WR 265 is the 'ringer' top seed in qualifying here. Not surprisingly, he won his QR2 match & 0! The other seeds are all ranked outside the top 1200 and there are no ranked players at all in Bugby's section. QR2: Miles Bugby UNR beat Blake Emery (USA) UNR by 6-2 3-0 ret. QR3: Miles Bugby U...
