I think this deserves a separate thread with four Brits in draw. Look who has turned up here Jamie D and Ken Supski Richard has decided to give it a miss Bogdanovic/Olejniczak (POL) vs Brown (JAM)/Colangelo (ITA) Jamie D/Jonny M vs Gajjar( IND)/Raja (IND) (4)Skupski/Rettenmaier (USA) vs Galvano(I...
This week's tournament on the Latin American circuit is a 48 draw, so our sextet avoid having to play top seeds in the first round like last week. However it is a strong field for a Grade 2 event, with the top 4 seeds all ranked inside the top 30 R1 James MARSALEK (GBR) Vs Sergiu MARGARIT (ROU) Jack CARPENTE...
Round 1 (L64) (2) Stephanie Cornish BYE Steph has moved into the top 60, but is defending semi-final points from last year. Her Dutch doubles partner from last week is in the top half, so she has a tougher looking route to the final.
Muzza may have withdrawn here but there is still some British interest - not a bad QR1 draw, but there are no points unless you win three matches in qualifying here: QR1: Richard Bloomfield WR 323 v Massimo Dell'acqua (ITA) WR 419 The seeds in this section are (7) Falla WR 193 and (1) Istomin WR 103. Rich...
Amanda Elliott scraped into the qualifying draw, to join Katie O'Brien here, but will need an improvement in form to survive her opening match. Amanda's section is:
(4)Anna Floris (ITA) v Irina Buryachok (UKR)
Teodora Mrcic (SRB) v Pemra Ozgen (TUR)
Lenka Jurikova (SVK) v Anna Korzeniak (POL)...
There's a strong British contingent here, including George Morgan, who was unbeaten in the Lancashire side which won the Junior County Cup Group 1 at the weekend, and Richard Gabb, coming through qualifying yet again. R1 (L32) Tom Farquharson (GBR) v Yannis Baltogiannis (BEL) (Q) Joshua Gledden (...
Two of our Davis Cup outcasts are out in Germany but have been drawn in the same section of a draw which is headed by an old foe. QR1: Jonny Marray WR 434 v (q4) Frederik Nielsen (DEN) WR 277 QR1: (q8) Richard Bloomfield WR 318 v Kevin Deden (GER) WR 524

Anna Smith is here in qualifying and has drawn the Mexican wild card Alejandra Granillo in the first round. If she wins she will probably meet the 4th seed Alexa Glatch in QR2. The match is on Centre Court after a mens match which starts at 9pm GMT.

(you can pick any GB player, even if not at the play off) My team: Boggo Bloomers Eaton Ross Boggo to play illy on day 1, Eaton to play Stak Rich and Ross in the dubs on Sat then...
Last match on Centre Court tomorrow, with the second-last starting not before 7pm local, 3pm UK, so maybe 4.30-5pm unless they run late like today. I'll miss the start, I have a hospital appointment, but perhaps it would be better for my blood pressure if I miss the lot. . . H2H is 2-1 in Gasquet's favour...

Still not quite sure where the time to do this is going to magically appear from, but we'll manage it somehow - this is just a reminder that entries for this competition will open on Friday sometime after the main draw comes out. Qualifiers are likely to be placed by early afternoon on Saturday and entr...

I know this subject has been done to death but.......I still cannot get over it. The new ranking points this is. All last years points were doubled but, unless you win the event, this years points are pretty similar to the undoubled points. A quarter final in a 15k last year won 3pts, doubled to 6pts, t...
Interesting one, this. They have met twice before & Andy has yet to beat Arnaud: Andy lost in five in Round 2 of the US Open in 2005 & then again, this time in straight sets, in Washington the following year. Time to start redressing the balance, methinks - & he should...
Has he retired? What about Neil Bamford? I'm sure Boggo will retire if he lets it slip this year. I predict end of season 2009 rankings: 1. Muzza # 3 (predicted high will be #2) 2. Josh # 185 (predicted high will be #160) 3. Wardy # 191 (predicted high will be #54) 4. Boggo # 254-retiring end of season and m...
