I always understood winners could be defined as, a shot that wins the point without your opponent getting a racquet on the ball,an ace as the same but a serve. When winners include service winners you can't, I'm told just subtract aces to find a pic...
L32: Morgan Phillips WR 850 v (Q) Jacopo Marchegiani (ITA) WR 1431 A good R1 draw against a player who lost to Tim Hewitt in his only previous match against a Brit but yes, you've guessed it, the winner is likely to play the no. 1 seed in R2.
The head-to-head is 6-2 in our Andy's favour. Andy last beat Rodders 4 & 2 in the Doha final earlier this year, Rodders beat him at Queen's last year, but only thanks to a walkover, &, of course, Andy famously beat Rodders in straight sets on his Wimbledon debut in 2006. I can't help feeling th...
Anyone here have either phone ? Contract up and can get either on upgrade. Both good at what they do but always had Nokia (N96 my 6th or 7th Nokia) on O2 network. Like the slide out qwerty of the N97 but the apps available for the Iphone is impressive ? Thoughts anyone.
L32: Myles Blake WR 747 v Marcus Daniell (NZL) WR 777 Not a bad R1 draw, since Daniell has only won one match (against an unranked Slovakian) in his last ten! However, he beat Dan Smethurst, Jonny Kinsella and Bam Bam (by ret.) in Wrexham last year before going out to Flan in the semis and he is 7-1 v Brits...

At just before 1130am this morning I was on the phone at work when 2 Tornados over-flew our office. This happens several times every summer and we often joke about being used as target practice by the RAF. Our office is in rural Perthshire so Low flying is commonplace. The architect I was speaking to on t...
