Only one Brit in qualifying: QR1: Ross Henson UNR v Asser al Nokaly (EGY) UNR The winner will play an unranked Kuwaiti for a place in the main draw, there only being four ranked players in qualifying - what a chance for Ross!! Dire news - Bloomers, who would have been the no. 2 seed here, is now shown as...
Will be played from 21st May at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is supposed to be the biggest thing in college tennis so I thought that we should have a topic. Last year's men's final saw Somdev Dev Varman beat John Isner and since then Isner has done so much! I think the standard...
Will be played from 19th May on clay. This will be a massive, massive week for Willis in his quest to become the world number 1 (well... I have no idea if he intends to, but given how many big tournaments he'll play in the next two or three months, there's no harm in trying) given how many points are on offer....

Next month britishtennis.net plan to launch our own radio station, based on the hugely popular radiotennis.com (we could be the new Kens !)..........the idea is to do some commentary on a few days of surbiton, queens qualies and possibly nottingham qualies It should be fairly straightforward to...

Whilst looking at one of the sites showing statistics for 2008, I noticed the following information in the surface leaders section that I thought was worth a mention (with apologies if any of this has been written about before) For WTA major events: Carpet - no 1 Anne Keothavong 4-0 For WTA Challe...
THE WORLDS HARDEST RIDDLE I turn polar bears white and I will make you cry. I make guys have to pee and girls comb their hair. I make celebrities look stupid and normal people look like celebrities. I turn pancakes brown and make your champane bubble. If you sqeeze me, I'll pop. If you look at me, you'll po...
Only one entry so far, but it's notable for a pic of him trying on his father's glasses and looking about 80 (!) and for the revelation that the Philipp Davydenko who lost in QR1 at Portschach is his 15-year-old nephew and sometime hitting partner. http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/blog/davydenko.a...
QR1: (q5) Jonathan Kinsella WR 1481 v Shane Lamely (USA) UNR Should the American slide lamely to defeat Jonny will play the winner of Juan Manuel Marucco (ARG) UNR and Diego Beltranena (GUA) UNR ... i.e. Marucco. Extending the comeback he has made (after being out for three years) after the scare of R...

This year's French Open offers more hope than for some years that a long hoodoo can be broken. Looking at previous drawsheets on Wikipedia I deduce that Clare Wood was the last Brit to come through qualifying into the main draw here in 1988 - and then only as a Lucky Loser!
Anne Keothavong and Katie O'B...
