QR1: Morgan Phillips WR 1737 v (q8) Evgeniy Kirillov (RUS) WR 374 Nice to see Morgan aiming high but with this draw he's probably wishing he entered the weak Italian Future instead.
QR2: (q1) Alexander Ward WR 998 v Gunter Grosspietsch (GER) UNR QR2: Balraj Sohal UNR v Mark Vervoort (NED) UNR or Rafael Mazon-Hernandez (ESP) UNR Gunter is 33 years old and has never been ranked, btw.
From this year (or at least this year), the 18s will be played at the NTC, in Roehampton. I don't know about the surface - can anyone with inside info/better grasp over the LTA site tell me? The 16s, 14s and 12s will be played at Bournemouth as before.
In the junior events, Britain's original representation of six in fact turned out to be seven, sort of, with one of them playing under the Australian flag against her wishes. Johanna Konta, born in Sydney to Hungarian parents, is soon to be given British citizenship having just turned 17 . When that h...

Newport is a smaller draw this year (because of the Olympics I think) but even so, the initial entry lists are not that different. I know many think the status of Surbiton should be raised but, why offer more prize money when it draws a field this strong anyway.....its unlikely to atract any better pl...
So, can Andy maintain the sublime form he showed today against Acasuso in the third round? Let's hope so! This will be their first meeting, whenever it is (Friday?) ...
