New thread needed now for the next tie. Venue T.B.C BBC reports that Lloyd is looking to see what surface would best suit our guys. Also becuse it is during the hard court season Glasgow or Birmingham would be best suited. To my despair Crufts is at the Birmingham NEC 5-9th March 2009. They have several '...
Well, we now know who Andy is playing, but not when. (Tomorrow sometime) They have never played each other before. Juan is now ranked 59 but was as high as 14 last year, before injury problems. He bageled Marc Gicquel in the first set of the first round, eventually winning 6-0 6-4; so Andy will have to be c...
I said I thought Aucks might have retired a little too early I think because he has turned up here with Rogier Wassen (NED) and they are the top seeds and the favourites to take the title. In the first round they face Marius Copil & Ivo Klec (ROU/SVK).
Channel 4 are showing a documentary called "Trophy Kids" this Thursday at 9pm. One of the four youngsters featured is 12-year old Eden Silva, one of our top juniors in that age range. However the previews I have read make it clear where the emphasis of the programme will be: "This Cutt...

Rafa leads Andy 5-2 (5-3 If you include the exhibition win) but the important stat is that Andys 3 wins have come from their last 3 meetings ! So Andy is on a 3 match winning streak against Nadal...that sounds bette...

Andy reaches the semi-final of the first masters event of the year. Despite not playing at his best in most of the rounds he had enough to see off his opponents in a draw that was pretty kind to him. He now faces Roger Federer, the number 2 seed and a player Andy has seemed to get the better of in recent matche...
