James Ward and Colin Fleming have turned up for qualies here and are in the same quarter. Ward kickstarts his qualifying campaign against Croat Wildcard Antonio Lupieri whilst Flembo starts his against the Davis Cup villain in the form of the polish Jerzy Janowicz. Should both win Ward could potent...
just throwing this stat out, outside of masters and grandslams, murray is unbeaten in his last 31 matches, amazing stat, he is king of the small tournaments, last loss was against Lu in olympics, dubai could be a threat to the streak, but hope for the best
Jamie and I will be commentating the second match of the day today. Stoppini vs. Ball on center court. You can follow JB and I at www.frontrowtennis.com Cheers
Lucy Brown was the second highest ranked acceptance here, but is only seeded 7 primarily because of high ranking wildcards and qualifiers. Alex Walker plays her first junior event since August R1 (L32) Alexandra Walker (GBR) v Amy Bowtell (IRL) (7) Lucy Brown (GBR) v (Q) Dide Beijer (NED)
Got a quick email from Jamie saying that he will be playing our Challenger this year. I have told our staff writers to set aside some time before the tourney and sit down with Jamie. He's a great kid and if he can come back from what he has gone through, he deserves comeback player of the year. Make sure y...
Laura Robson's attempt to go one better than last year's final starts with an easy-looking draw against an Aussie wildcard. However, as Phil notes in the preview thread, her potential second round match against rising Russian star, and Mouratoglou Academy colleague, Yulia Putintseva is a real to...
Well, so we have it: the final we possibly both hoped for and dreaded. We all know the H2H is in Andy's favour, but as Federer keeps reminding us, not in Finals and not in best-of-5 matches. And Roger won the last two encounters, I think. I'm sure Andy CAN win this but Fed has to be the favourite, especially...
The main draws of the prestigious under 14 tournament start on Monday with a clutch of British players involved (plus 3 more in final qualifying), but only two (Shakeel Manji and Eleanor Dean) earning seedings. It is an event which Andy Murray won, whilst in 2008 Liam Broady and Laura Robson were fin...

Another huge qualifying draw here. Smethurst, Phillips and Cox are DAs once again. You would have thought the Wardinator must have a special exempt place here, but no, he seems to be being forced to qualify again, which implies that he had to play two matches in different locations today, since qua...
Under 18 Winter Grand Prix Champion Toby Martin has made a disappointing start to his 2010 ITF campaign, but Manisha Foster is showing signs of regaining the form that saw her become one of the highest ranked 1993 girls in 2008. She missed most of the first half of 2009, and struggled for the rest of the y...
Josh Goodall is likely to be the top seed here, while Dr No is also in the main draw and Meatball was the 1st Alt so has probably got in too. QR1: (q2) Matt Illingworth WR 733 v (WC) Dor Belfer (ISR) UNR QR1: (q4) Sean Thornley WR 776 v Daniel Geib (AUT) WR 1279
