Oliver Golding was a late withdrawal here, leaving British interest with Natalie Beazant and Fran Stephenson. Both have testing but winnable opening matches R1 (L64) (Q) Mayya Katsitadze (RUS) v (16) Natalie Beazant (GBR) (14) Yuliya Lysa (UKR) v Francesca Stephenson (GBR)
Abbi Melrose is in the Caribbean for the first of two Grade 4s and has progressed well to the semis. Although superficially her quarter-final win over the second seed looks the most impressive closer examination suggests that her second round opponent was much stronger - a young American who has re...

Morgan Phillips turns up here in qualifying and perhaps a little surprisingly has ended up as the 2nd seed. Has a bye in round one, will face either Tim van Terheijden or Mischa Nowicki in round two, and is seeded to face Ante Pavic, ranked 577 in the final round. Should qualify here which will be a great b...
Did anyone see Andy on Tv tonight? I thought that he came across really well. Worth a catchup if you haven't seen it, highlights were the slow dance with the fan and Andy's rap!
Andy faces Rafael Nadal on Friday in the semi-finals. Can he go a round further than last year? I'm sure these stats are familiar territory, but to refresh the memory before the match: Nadal leads the H2H, 7-3, and their single meeting on grass was in 2008 at the Wimbledon quarterfinals, won in straigh...
This thread is sort of like a half-term report (just off should have been done in Wk 26 not 27 but we've had a great week this week) on the performance of GB tennis players. By this time last year, we had two challenger winners in Dan Evans (Jersey) and James Ward (Savannah) whilst Cox had won a 15k future,...
Jamie Delgado pops up here with his old mucker, Lovro Zovko (CRO), & they're the top seeds! They play the home-grown pair of Guillermo Alcaide & Rubén Ramírez in the first round on the centre court not before 20.00 BST today. Their opponents both have first-round singles matches on the sam...
The debate has been going on since the germany game, and everyone is talking and blaming different people, players manager the media the clubs etc but i think its far simpler, and something we can relate to tennis to. in a recent survey it was revealed that england is the least patriotic nation in europ...
Qualifying starts tomorrow, comprising two rounds, and I can deduce the following pairings from the Roehampton oop Daniel Cochrane v (14) Yaraslau Shyla (BLR) (2) Matthias Wunner (GER) v Lewis Burton (1) Alexis Carlos (MEX) v Richard Gabb Christopher Simpson v (15) Libor Salaba (CZE) Robert Cart...
Not sure if this has been covered, but was watching the bbc coverage yesterday and after the Lopez-Dimitrov game, there was an interview with Jamaican Dustin Brown. In the interview it was discovered that he has a british passport as one of his parents is british. He got asked about playing Davis Cup a...
Since it's beginning to look like Boggo may not actually be coming home (for DC) for quite a while, I was thinking on the way home from Wimbledon yesterday that it might be time for a rewrite of my infamous version of a certain football song, so here it is. I've replaced another section of the original (th...
Qualifying starts tomorrow at Roehampton. I haven't found a drawsheet but I can deduce the following first round matches from the oop. There are two rounds, one on Thursday and final qualifying on Friday Sabrina Bamburac v (13) Demi Schuurs (NED) Marie Ba v (14) Santa Shumilina (RUS) Daneika Borthw...
James Ward and Josh Goodall are at the top of the entry list here, though Evo will outrank Josh for the no. 2 seeding place if he qualifies and the draw is made after qualifying ends. Other potential GB seeds are Rice, Milton and Slabba, with Willis, Inglot, Thornley and Arlidge other GB DAs. Brassingto...
Hey people, sorry I've not posted in a while, I'll try to contribute a bit more over the coming months. Anyway, I wasn't going to come down to Wimbledon this year as I knew I was going to be busy this weekend, but yesterday afternoon I got an impulse and booked myself some overnight travel for last night so...
