The match is at 6.30pm UK time on Tuesday, according to am.com. Head to head 2-1 in Andy's favour, but Ivan won the last one, the Final of Doha 2007. Andy should win, I would have thought. Ivan is not the player he was then.

Aucks and Andy have a wild card and they have drawn Julian Knowle & Andy Ram, the 4th seeds. Jamie and Vemic are here as well and they face Igor Andreev & Marcin Matkowski (only half of the Polish duo there thank god!)
I noticed that Ross Hutchins, after his South African qualifying performance, had stormed from being unranked to GB's no 28 ( and world no. 1097 ). GB has in total 26 players in the top 1000. In comparison : France : 73 players in the top 1000, 28th ranked is world no. 281. Germany : 57 players in the t...

The return of the Thomson twins here, and also Jordan Mculloch. All of which have won their 1st rounds respectively, these could well be our wimbledon hopefuls -- Edited by Drew at 13:14, 2009-02-05
Laura Slater has been taking advantage of a weak field here. Laura is currently ranked around 250, the top seed (a local girl) inside 100, and everyone else outside 500. The two have combined in the doubles, and unsurprisingly have hardly lost a game. R1 Laura DEIGMAN (GBR) defeated Ann-Christin NIL...

The ATP calendar has been updated. We have 2 x 15k events in Januray, the same again in March followed by a 50k challenger in Jersey. The problem with using Jersey is that, because you need to fly there, it may as well be a foreign event for those just hoping to qualify. http://www.atptennis.com/en/c...
