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...
I've been away so sorry if this report has been covered here already. Its a very pro-Josh Goodall, a couple of things maybe not 100% accurate but it's certainly got its point and raises questions I'm sure we'd all like answered. Incidently, I have seen Josh play a few times and would have questioned h...
The head-to-head is 3-3. All of Andy's victories have been achieved this year. Can he make it four on the trot? If the Andy who played the final three sets of today's match against Melzer turns up ( ), then undoubtedly yes, but if not, forget it...

I was chairman of my local club for about 3 years as well as serving on a LTA county committee. As a county committee member I got to go to some national meetings at the former LTA headquarters at Queen's Club, and met many of the people running the LTA. I was very interested in trying to bring more players i...

Wolf got in with the week 36 Futures qualifying threads just as I was about to start (definitely not complaining there ) but I imagine he hasn't even bothered to check the Argentine Future - I'm not sure why I did, but this is what I found: QR1: (qWC) Luis Moreno UNR v Lucas Tocci (ARG) UNR
Yasmin Clarke should be seeded 4th, and Amanda Carreras 5th. Olivia Scarfi should also be in the main draw.

Andy finished joint leader in the US Open Series together with Nadal. They have 145 points. Andy, however, cannot win, because the rules for ties are in favour of Nadal (head-to-head in the tournaments involved), so he ends up being runner-up. What this actually means is that he'll get some extra pri...
