Around this time last year I flagged up that not many players were going to get WC's and that some would be given away to foreigners. Because of the LTA guidelines, it may be even worse this year. I believe they will consider anyone inside the top 275 (?????) yet really cant see Boggo being given anothe...
Hi all, Wondering if those knowledgable in such matters can help, i am thinking of getting a new racquet. i currently have a head liquid metal prestige, which is a great racquet, but very unforgiving (you need long swings and good timing), so when i am playing well, its great, comes up with some top shot...
I didn't see this anywhere so thought i would make a useful 1st thread - qualifying draw is out for the men's and some good, some bad draws but Cox has had a dream i would say, Eaton has a tough 1st opponent and no 2 Brits will have to face off: Q1 Marcus Willis vs Amer Delic Alexander Slabinsky vs Adrian Cruci...
Was looking for a Wimbledon tournament thread, but couldn't see it ( maybe too minor an event ). Anyway, I'll just post as re the seeds as a stand alone thread.. Seeds announced as : SINGLES SEEDS 1 Rafael Nadal (ESP) 2 Roger Federer (SUI) 3 Andy Murray (GBR) 4 Novak Djokovic (SRB) 5 Juan Martin del Po...
Myles Blake and Maniel Bains are both DA's here with Blake being seeded. Two of our stronger unranked players are in qualifying but will have to beat two ringers to make it into the main draw: QR1: Jamie Whiteford UNR beat Mohamed Klibi (TUN) UNR 6-1, 6-1 QR1: Matthew Leahy UNR beat Abdelhamid Riani...
Andy was on a Radio 5 public forum about Wimbledon last night. He came across well from the bits I heard. One thing that did come up was that the Radio 5 guy said they still got loads of messages & calls from folk saying they wouldn't support Andy because they said he was anti English so he had to put i...
Anne Keothavong and Elena Baltacha have picked up wildcards for the main draw whilst qualifying sees Emily Webley-Smith's return to action. Unfortunately three of the six Brits have drawn the top 3 seeds. QR1 (1) MARTINEZ SANCHEZ, Maria Jose ESP v (WC) WEBLEY-SMITH, Emily GBR (2) MAKAROVA, Ekate...
Jeepers! A much tougher draw than the singles: Jamie Murray & Jonathan Erlich have a WC & take on the third seeds, Bruno Soares & Kevin Ullyett (BRA/RSA), in the first round, Flemski, also WC, confront the established Brazilian pairing, Marcelo Melo & André Sá, & H&H ha...

feel free to delete this thread but i thought it might be a good idea to have all the mens round 1 scores in a seperate thread. -- Edited by Drew on Monday 15th of June 2009 12:20:49 PM
Qualifying draw comes out around 9.00 pm tonight, Im not sure, from a british point of view, who will turn up in it though. There is Bogdanovic and Evans who will probably attempt to come through as they missed out on MD wildcards, but most have to worry about Wimbledon Qualifying which starts Mond...
I know that Andy did not watch the final of the French Open but you would expect somebody at the BBC to have done so. The latest is a quote from the latest article on Andy http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8100932.stm "...Five-time Wimbledon champion and world number two Federer comes...
Copying MJD's post from the mens forum into here: "This is the further LTA reply received from Paul Hutchins:- (I might not agree with the way they operate but I am impressed with their communications.) We are, in co-operation with Wimbledon, running a 16 player pre qualifying for 2 wild card pl...
Well Andy couldn't have really asked for a better draw than this! His first grass court final is against the number 6 seed James Blake, who is not having a very good season, but is a little dangerous on grass. The head to head is 1-0 to Blake! With the only match being back in 2006 on clay! It's pretty hard to...
Hi all, Just to let you know about a new track to be released on 28th June, the people's song to support Andy at Wimbledon! The track named 'Volley Highway' is performed by Rock Salt & Nails, of the Shetlands. Please see the brief press release below for information. Do keep an eye on the Park Records...
Ashley Hewitt and Richard Gabb have stayed in Morocco, but were unable to add another doubles title, exiting in the quarter-finals of a Grade 2 tournament. Ashley qualified in singles, and won a round before losing 4-6 7-6(8) 6-3 to the Bosnian third seed Damir Dzumhur. Richard lost in final qualify...
