There's a strong British presence here, but Ben Davis has really drawn the short straw. Top seed David Souto is ranked in the top 10, having won two Grade 1s, a Grade 2 and last week's Spanish Grade 3 this year, for a 24-1 W-L record R1 (L32) (1) David Souto (VEN) v Ben Davis (GBR) (3) Alastair Barnes (GBR) v...
Jennifer Ren was scheduled to make her comeback here, but unfortunately is a late withdrawal, but Jessica Ren has joined three of the girls who played the Spanish Grade 3 last week. Elisha Gabb needs a big week to avoid a big drop in ranking, as she was a semi-finalist here last year. R1 (L32) Joanna Horn...
There were originally 4 Brits scheduled here, but Laura Robson and Jack Carpenter withdrew with injuries and James Marsalek lost in qualifying.

H&H are in this 24 doubles draw and they have drawn the Spanish wild cards Guillermo Alcaide & Alberto Martin in the first round with the winners facing the 7th seeds Bruno Soares & Kevin Ullyett (BRA/ZIM).
I see from the new rankings that apparently these top players who chose to play in last week's Rotterdam 500 tournament are having that result counted and if that's much worse than their pevious "best other" so be it ! Forever Delayed last week suggested that if Andy had lost early he would...

The head-to-head is 2-6 in Rafa's favour & given the surface, I can't see it being anything other than 2-7, come the end of this match! Rafa in straight sets. That said, I'd give just about anything to be proved wrong...

Murray lost the last two matches, including the masters cup semi final. They are on last after all the other quarter finals (1st quarter final on at the moment) Andy'...
