With Bally already guaranteed direct entry, the race behind her to gain spots through either DA or WC is hotting up. Anne and Katie still have their chances to get a DA spot, and the rest are looking to get that top 250 spot which they need to have a chance of being recommended for a wild card. Heather and La...
The order of play for tomorrow is out, and Andy is not listed, therefore the match will be played some time (tbc) on Sunday. Plenty of time for pre-match banter. EDIT: Confirmed, Andy is up fourth and last on Court Suzanne Lenglen tomorrow. First match on that court gets under way at 11:00am local time,...
The tennis gods are clearly still not smiling on the Brits: Hutch & "Jordanie" (= the French name for the country, "Jordan"! ) Kerr have drawn the second seeds, Nestor & Zemonjic, in the first round, while Col & Ken have, on the face of it, a slightly easier encount...
Its not uncommon for a previously unheard of (by the public) player to burst on to the scene during the grass court season. Chris Eaton is an obvious one, Ian Flannagan another. Not quite the same impact we have seen players raise eyebrows on here, even if below national press level. Lee Childs qual...
Katie Boulter made a rapid transit from Turkey to race through the qualifying competition here, joining Josh Ward-Hibbert in the main draws Boys R1 (L32) (5) Joshua Ward-Hibbert (GBR) v Daniel Masur (GER) Girls R1 (L32) (WC) Jacqueline Cabaj Awad (SWE) v (Q) Katie Boulter (GBR)
Tomorrow, 4th match on Suzanne Lenglen - but that is third after a ladies not before noon which is nearly finished the first set. Not much recovery time. I think Bagman just finished a match today as well, but much earlier than Andy, and his first round was a simple 3-setter. The H2H is 0-2, with Marcos wi...
Q1: ALLAN, Jennifer (GBR) UNR v KAPUSTKA, Hanna (POL) UNRQ1: STEWART, Catriona (GBR) UNR v Bye Q2: STEWART, Catriona (GBR) UNR v HNATYSHYN, Marta (UKR) UNR

Oliver Golding completes his preparations for the French Open here, joined by qualifier Chris Simpson. Lucy Brown completes the British trio here, and she will have to beat the surprise Copa Gerdau finalist to progress. The Astrid Bowl website promises streaming as per recent years, but it has gen...
Third match on Court 1 ( ) tomorrow. Head-to-head is 5-1 in Andy's favour, the last two being a straight-sets win (3 & 3) in Monte-Carlo a week or so ago & last year in the first round (2, 2 & 1) at Roland-Garros itself, so I'm cautiously optimistic, bipartite patella in the right knee permi...

Didn't notice a thread for this. Jamie Baker has received a wild card and has a nice looking draw: R32: Jamie Baker (WC) WR 262 v Qualifier As there is nobody left in the QS draw inside the top 400 this is a great chance for Jamie to move closer to the top 250. If he advances the seed is Peter Polansky (8) CAN W...
The entry lists are out for Roland Garros with all our top boys in the main or qualifying draw as expected. Only two of the top 10 (Fucsovics and Tomic) are missing, with Carlos Boluda-Purkiss possibly the favourite on current form. None of our alternates has a realistic chance. In the girls list Heath...
