Match is underway... I like the look of Petzschner, I've never seen him play before, but he has a big forehand, good serve and has nice variety in his game as he volleys exceptionally well and has played a couple of nice drop shots already. Only problem is his backhand is a bit naff. Petzschner is strugg...
From the contingent in Mexico, Heather Watson will be heading shortly for Australia, preparing for the AO Juniors, whilst John-Randolph Thornton moved rapidly to Sweden. That leaves just 3 Brits for the second Latin American leg. Alex has his work cut out playing a Casablanca Cup semi-finalist. B...

What if.... ...Alex Bogdanovic were to win Nouema? He would have points 524 and would definitely overtake: Dorsch, Pashanski, Bjorkman, Hartfield, Bogomolov Jr, Snobel, Cruciat, Huta Galung, Schukin, Falla, Munoz-De La Nava, Brzezicki, Bjorn Rehnquist, Miguel Angel Lopez Jaen, Lukas Rosol,...
Jamie Murray begins his new partnership with Dusan Vemic, in the first round they have drawn the reunited team of Julian Knowle & Jurgen Melzer. Jamie is still probably having nightmares about the DC tie last year...
Andy begins his campaign with what should be a straightforward match against the clay court specialist Montanes at 1pm GMT today. Livestreams available on Betfair and Bet 365.
Andy Murray will be in the doubles draw with Ross Hutchins as well as in the singles, and in qualifying... QR1: Gregory Howe WR 1315 v Sergei Bubka (UKR) WR 272 Good chance for Greg to stake a claim for a DC spot in Glasgow then.

Sheddie our wonderful but fairly absent administrator usually sets these up at this time of year but no sign of him...well not yet. I have asked various members to issue short lists of up to 5 players per category for evaluation prior to starting the relevant threads. Proposed Categories : Top Male Ju...

We know that the LTA like to set targets that they don't ever seem to achieve, so last year I said an achieveable target was 12 Britsh male players in the top 500. We got 10, but it was close up to the last couple of months. Next year, this is my target that I think the LTA should strive for ... 8 British male pla...
Unlike the main tour, in challenger and futures level events from 2009, the main increase in points will come in the tournament winners, more so than the other rounds. eg: in a 10k future, the semis finalists pts increase from 4 to 5, the runner-ups pts from just 8 to 9 where as the winners go from 12 to...
I thought there was a thread for this but I can't find it. Six players - Andy, Fed, Rafa, Davydenko, Blake and Roddick. Today's matches are Roddick v Davydenko, starting about now, with Andy v Blake following. The tournament website appears to be going to show live scores. [url]http://www.capitala...
The first of the season's 9 Grade A tournaments (including Grand Slams) is the weakest in terms of rankings, given the timing and location of the event. Heather Watson is the main British hope here, being seeded 5. The top seed is the player she beat in the Yucatan Cup final - world number 6 Ana Bogdan Gir...
