Laura is in the main draw, and Sally Peers is in Qualifying. I wonder if they will get the opportunity to get some doubles practice in before Wimbledon?

Hello allLike the last four years, I will be covering the Wimbledon qualifying tournament this week at Roehampton, interviewing players for the Radio Wimbledon daily podcast that is available for free download from the official Wimbledon website.I would like to make the podcast more intera...
Laura Robson said last year that she would not be entering Wimbledon juniors again, and this is confirmed on the entry list, leaving Heather, Oliver and George as the only direct entries. Yuki Bhambri is a surprise inclusion on the Roehampton (and Wimbledon) entry list, as is Heather, who will surel...

This is due to start tomorrow, and if previous years are anything to go by information will by very difficult, if not impossible to get hold of. The usual format is a 16-player draw, with both finalists getting a QWC, making the final of the play-off completely pointless. We probably won't even find...

Noone has any idea what the entry list is for this tournament apart from a chosen few. However we do know that Bally, Katie and Anne are main draw acceptances and won't need a wild card. Heather will definitely play but might be undercooked on the grass as she has just arrived in this country after gradua...

The head-to-head is 3-2 in Andy's favour. "The Mardy One" (see my post on the Queen's doubles thread in the British men's discussion forum, if you're curious about why I call him that), of course, claimed the most recent victory when he (in)famously beat Andy by 4 & 4 (?) in Round 2 of th...

The LTA reckons Andy has a tough draw in the singles. The doubles boys have, if anything, an even tougher challenge ahead next week: R1: Colin Fleming & Ken Skupski vs Stephen Huss & Gaël Monfils (AUS/FRA) (top seeds, Nestor & Zimonjic, if they come though that! ) R1: Andy & Jamie M...
