Jonny Marray has given further evidence he is looking to specialise in doubles (we are getting a lot of these type of players, aren't we Steven? )* as he turns up here with Riccardo Ghedin (ITA) and they face Enrico Iannuzzi & Jean-Noel Insausti (ITA/FRA) in the first round. * In Jonny's defence th...

Huss and Hutchins are back on the ATP tour this week and are the 2nd seeds in a rather weak looking doubles draw, with no real top pairs involved. They begin against Kevin Kim and Bobby Reynolds, which should be a nice starter for them, but given their run of form, nothing will be too certain for them. Have...
Another Brit with a nice R1 draw but likely to bump into one of the top two seeds in R2 ... L32: Jamie Baker WR 955 v Q/LL Winner likely to play (2) Ti Chen (TPE) WR 383
I can't see her listed for any upcoming tournamnets-she's not injured again is she?? Three times this year i've felt sure she will crack the top 100, she set's herself up to the brink and then doesn't play anywhere for a while and slips back down again! very frustrating

James Ward continues his tour of South America as he moves to Ecuador where he will be the 5th seed in what is a relatively weak draw with just 3 top 200 players and the cut falling at 443. He has drawn Julio Cesar Campozano of Ecuador in round one, with either Mariano Zabaleta or a qualifier in round two, so...
Morgan Phillips is a DA here. Both ATP and ITF say this is a 10K when F1 was a 15K, which is a bit odd. QR1: (q8) Paul Bishop WR 1624 v Arvis Berzins (LAT) WR 1624 FQR: Bishop or Berzins v (q10) Adrian Forberg Skogeng (NOR) WR 1799 or Pavels Grigorjevs (LAT) UNR

The entry list for this event dropped off very quickly once you got past the likely seeds. Unfortunately, our Syrian (and hopefully now Georgian) correspondent has had the bad luck to draw one of them ... still that seed is outside the top 500 and our other representative has a very nice draw, with th...
The British contingent here for Grade 3 and Grade 2 events includes Natalie Beazant, who could enhance her chances of being in the US Open qualifying by good results here. Unusually for a Brit, her favourite surface is clay, which this tournament is played on. R1 (L64) (8) Natalie Beazant (GBR) BYE Lu...
