The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Boggo's starts the week climbing 2 places to 191 as Menendez and Di Mauro drop behind him. Montcourt drops as well. Bachinger won his R1 of qualies in Rotterdam, and so overtakes Alex, knocking him back to 192 80 points on offer this week, which cou...
A new Braveheart
By Alistair Magowan
Great Britain's return to Scotland in the Davis Cup was supposed to be the chance for Scottish fans to roar their own Braveheart on to victory.
But while Greg Rusedski produced a sterling effort, illness and injury sapped Andy Murray's chances...

Now that Andy has followed up his withdrawal from the Davis Cup by winning his next event, does that make you feel all the more betrayed or does it justify his decision. It seems pretty clear that he didnt drop out with an injury he simply thought he'd be more likely to pick up an injury if he played. Given B...
This one's worth 80 points to the winner & according to the tournament site, Boggo will be trying to qualify from Saturday... Top seed currently looking likely to be the French WC, Fabrice Santoro.
Chris Eaton, after his victory in week 7's doubles final, came through three rounds of qualifying for week 8's tournament without dropping a set - his reward, a main draw match with the number 4 seed, Dawid Olejniczak of Poland. Josh Goodall has a much easier looking section, his first opponent bein...
So am I right in saying James has cracked the top 500? If so, can I remind people of Edwards comments of.....well, not bothering!!! Every increase up the rankings obviously creates more and more opportunities. 1oo is a rough guide to playing on the ATP tour, 300 the Challengers and a ranking of 600 w...
Worth a massive 300 points to the winner, this one! Andy, as has already been reported, is the sixth seed & in the same half of the draw as Davy-donkey (2). If he gets past Haase, a WC, he will face the German, Michael Berrer, who earlier saw off his compatriot (& a qualifier), Matthias Bachin...
Jamie Murray (the defending champion) play with Max Mirnyi, they are the 3rd seeds and have drawn Rohan Bopanna and Aisham-Ul-Haq Qureshi in R1, who won 4 challengers together last year.

Jamie Delgado and Gilles Muller are here and have a tough draw against Edouard Roger-Vasselin and Nicolas Mahut. Roger-Vasselin knocked out Jamie Murray of the Aussie Open if you remember, and I am sure you all know about Mahut.
I came across this today and found it pretty funny. To set the scene, Madonna was in Budapest filming "Evita" and the Hungarian newspaper "Blikk" interviewed her. The questions were posed in Hungarian, then translated into English for her; her replies were then translate...

The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Andy's defending his San Jose title points, and drops behind Blake to 12. He needs to reach the final to have a chance of regaining 11th, and to win the title to be sure of regaining the top 10. Ferreiro, Canas, Baghdatis and Karlovic also drop places...
