One of the most weirdest doubles pairings ever seen in a futures event here. Faris Akhazzan somehow managed to persuade the former top 100 singles player Danai Udomchoke (now ranked 155) to play with him. Even with such a illustrious partner they still lost first round though. Also the Ratiwatana tw...
A small group of Brits have travelled to Australia for two weak 25Ks.

Anyone feel really strange when looking at the new rankings? It was so strange to not see Tim's name, ranking etc. I know he has not played for the last year, but every time the rankings have been updated I have looked to see where he is....wow.... Thanks for the memories Tim, now hopefully Andy can get...

Ross Hutchins plays with Jim Thomas, whom he won the Segovia challenger with last month, and they are the 4th seeds!! They have drawn Jeremy Chardy and Teimuraz Gabashvili in R1.
I reckon we should put on a big music festival for Andy Murray - if this were the English Football team, or an olympic champion - there would be parades in the street and a big carnival, and a national holiday... So here I am hoping to persuade y'all that we should put on a day of music to celebrate Andy's Fin...
Let's have separate threads since we will have Livescoring and a lot to discuss. Main draw will feature (at least) Marcus Willis, Dan Smethurst and Dan Cox. Qualies draw - http://www.usopen.org/pdf/USOJ_Boys_Q_Draw.pdf
This match will surely be the first match on Saturday, unless it is a Muller v Djokovic semi, as I am sure the crowd would rather see Djokovic v Federer or Roddick (being American) v Federer/Muller. I'm not sure how it works on Saturday at the US Open though, like when do they put the womens final on, and do...
Tara Wigan is playing the qualies here and needs to refind her form from the spring to qualify.

Hey ive heard recently that tennis could be added as soon as the next commonwealth games in Delhi. Would this carry similar value in terms of points etc to the olympic tennis i see a potential ATP controversy as obv only commonwealth players could compete for these points(obv medals between england s...
FD's comment on the Black Forest Open doubles thread last week: Just isn't happening for Auckland at all, and this is a bad loss to have, as Scherrer is a solid doubles player, and the draw was opened up for them to go deep this week.Well, all I can say is that Aucks must be a glutton for punishment, as he's...
Tomorrow on Ashe, not before 2pm - 7pm here, ideal. This match worries me more than the others have, but I do think Andy will take it if he keeps his head and doesn't let Potty get him annoyed. Focus, Andy! H2H 1-0 to Andy - the famous match in Rome where things got heated, and Andy won when DelPo retired, bu...

QR1: Adam Olbrich UNR v Tomas Zeman CZE UNR Olbrich is 0-7 in futures qualies so not expecting a lot. Illingworth, Feaver, Milton & Rice are all in the main draw. -- Edited by wolf at 00:01, 2008-08-30
Thoughts on the general action so far ? Another big shock in the womens draw last night, many people's pick for the title on here Kuznetsova crashing out in 3 sets to Srebotnik 6-3, 6-7, 6-3. Wasn't a great match, Srebotnik got very tight at the end of the 2nd, didn't think she'd make it. She was very aggre...
Anyone else think this mixed doubles final is dreadful stuff?
The lack of crowd (maybe 1,000 in a stadium holding 23,000) shows that there is zero interest among the paying public. There is no atmosphere at all. Most of the crowd are presumably just sitting and waiting for Fed to come on, and getting...
