Just been a great throwback to years gone by seeing Watson strutting his stuff on the fairways of Turnberry. He may be 59 and may not win but he is in such good shape. He still is driving the ball 330 yds...thats mind blowing. My heart says Watson but I hope Westwood wins as he has played the best gold this we...
There is a strong British contingent here for a Grade 3 event followed by a Grade 2: R1 (L64) (8) James Marsalek (GBR) BYE (11) Christopher Simpson (GBR) BYE (10) Jack Carpenter (GBR) BYE Theodore Voegt (GBR) d.

Stefan Sterland-Markovic prevails yet again in doubles, this time with Jakub Hadrava. If he was anywhere near as good at singles (this is his first semi in 22 tournaments played during the past year) he would be one of our top ranked 1992 boys. Ekta Sharma lost in the first round of the girls singles/do...
As with the Boys there is a slightly stronger field for the Grade 4 than last week, including Jo Henderson as second seed, while fourth seed Fran Stephenson aims to emulate Sam Vickers, who won both singles titles here last year. All 16 in the bottom half of the draw are British, so one finalist is guaran...
The second week for Alex and Daneika down under sees Daneika with an early opportunity to avenge Alex's defeat to Teiwa Casey last week. R1 (L64) (12) Daneika Borthwick (GBR) BYE (5) Alexandra Walker (GBR) BYE R2 (L32) (12) Daneika Borthwick (GBR) v Teiwa Casey (AUS) (5) Alexandra Walker (GBR) v Sher...
The Rens prepare here for next week's European Juniior Championships - Jess having recovered from the foot injury which kept her out of Wimbledon. R1 (L32) (3) Jennifer Ren (GBR) v (Q) Wallis Vitis (FRA) Kim Stubbe (BEL) v (2) Jessica Ren (GBR)
L32: Jamie Baker WR 982 v Young-Jun Kim (KOR) WR 602 Not again! Jamie moves Korea only to draw the player who beat him in Malaysia a couple of weeks ago 3-6 7-6(7) 6-0. Looking on the bright side, it seems clear that he should have won that match (no idea what happened in the 3rd set), so hopefully he can put...

L32: James Ward WR 209 v (6) Sebastian Decoud (ARG) WR 158 After making the trip out to Colombia, Wardy could have done with avoiding a seed in R1, though Decoud is not the worst one he could have got. The Argentine seems to be even worse on grass than James, having lost to Cuevas in Wimbledon QR1, but this t...
Morgan has headed north and must have a chance of picking up a few points here. The Bishop has scraped in as a DA too and couldn't have asked for a more ok draw! L32: Paul Bishop WR 1638 v Oskars Vaskis (LAT) WR 1565 L32: Morgan Phillips WR 848 v (Q) Valentin Bazunov (RUS) UNR Vaskis has a fairly even W/L reco...
I see that Richard Gasquet has been cleared to return following his provisional suspension for testing positive for cocaine. The ITF independant tribunal said that the quantity of cocaine detected was "very small, about the size of a grain of salt". They accepted that such a small read...
She was the person I was most looking forward to following post-wimbledon but I can't find her name anywhere, do you know if shes going on a training block or entered into the WTA qualies, or what? Thanks.
Tom Farquharson and Ben Davis have moved from Berlin to Linz for another challenging Grade 1. Ben unfortunately retired in his final qualifier, but Tom came through. R1 (L64) Toni Androic (CRO) Vs (Q) Tom Farquharson (GBR)
Some unexpected action at ATP level this week as Delgado and Murray are given a wild card into the doubles in Stuttgart. Would have expected them both to show in Manchester to be honest and Delgado to carry on his partnership with Marray, while Murray to perhaps try something with a different partner,...
R1: Amanda CARRERAS 449 vs Erika ZANCHETTA (ITA) 581 Zanchetta has qualified for some 25Ks on clay recently and won a few rounds, but hopefully Amanda should have too much for her.
