Some of you may already be aware, but Ross is taking the off-season very seriously - he's following much the same training schedule as Muzza in Miami, see e.g. http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/466 http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/467 http://www.andymurray.com/news/arti...
Jamie Baker would appear to be sticking to his guns here. No main draw on the ATP site yet, but going by the ITF entry list (last modified yesterday), he could be the 7th seed. Qualies draw is on the ATP site & there are currently four Brits in it: Q1: Joe Cooper UNR vs John Valente (USA) UNR Q1: (q4...
From Sporting Life:
The Lawn Tennis Association's new chief executive Roger Draper is keen to ring the changes in British tennis.
Draper, talking today at the Surbiton Trophy, is determined to improve the fortunes of the game in this country.
He said: "I knew it was going to be a big job a...
The subject of who might get into AO qualifying has been brought up on three different threads so far, so I think it makes sense to create a dedicated thread for it so that posts on the subject can more easily be found. First a recap, with some of the numbers updated ... As far as I can tell, the qualifying c...
Emily Webley-Smith is in qualies here. She is also in qualies for 75K Dubai and 50K Dehli - great to see her still going for the bigger events -- Edited by Sally at 17:30, 2008-12-06
Like the Girls there are 4 events: U12/U14/U16/U18 but our strongest contingent here is in the under 16s, including George Morgan, last year's Orange Bowl U14 winner. Qualifying has started for the U14/U16/U18. Tom Hill, Jonathan Cornish, Clay Crawford, Brooks Allen, Jathan Malik and Joshua W...
These prestigious championships have 4 categories: U12/U14/U16/U18 with Laura Robson the winner of the under 14s last year. This year we have a strong contingent in the under 18s headed by Laura, joined by Heather Watson, Hannah James, Steph Cornish and Tara Moore The Under 12s start their main dra...
It is now open knowledge that Jamie & Max have split, I am just wondering who Jamie will play with next!!!??? I have a few ideas below - Paes Dlouhy Ullyett (Favourite) Other than those 3 I have no other ideas except British players, which for Davis Cup would be a massive benefit but I think Jamie woul...
Apologies if this was already posted but I couldn't see it and have only just spotted this disconcerting news from The Times online last month. Now we see why GBR Challenger events were reduced and some futures were cut from £15k to £10k - "It is believed that the bonuses paid to Maes and others am...
It was a great shame that Jamie B was unable to reach the final to give himself a chance of taking his first title for a good few months in Santo Domingo earlier today, but it looks as though he's staying in the Dominican Republic for another week: he's on the entry list for next week's tournament, though...
A sprinkling of Brits have turned up in this event which leads onto the much more prestigous event Eddie Herr and Orange Bowl which take place later in the year. The primary aim for most of the participants will be to try and book a place in the Australian Open for 2009.
Some of you who use the main stats page at http://www.britishtennis.net/stats.html to access the GB Top 25 tables will have noticed that all the links at the bottom of that page haven't been updated for a long time. Now that we are properly in the off-season, I am going to update most of these pages and...
Fear we are rather hoping against hope here but in qualifying QR1: Matthew Short UNR v Joseph Squillacioti (AUS) UNR QR1: Alexander Hutchings UNR v Liang-Chi Huang (TPE) UNR Huang will be joining the rankings next week.
Wardy & Eaton are likely to be seeded in the main draw here and I think Jonny Kinsella has probably scraped a DA too - he was 1st Alt at the freeze deadline, which would usually end up meaning a main draw place and the 4th Alt is the top seed in qualifying of those who were on the Alt list in the first place....
Well look which unranked Brit has popped up in qualifying here ... QR1: Jamie Delgado UNR v (8) Stefan Wauters (BEL) WR 590 QR1: (q7) Jonny Marray WR 550 v Mario Dierckx (BEL) WR 1803 The other seed in Jonny's section is (q4) Vladimir Obradovic (SRB) WR 403. Boggo has a DA here, but Josh was 8th Alt and two...
Mel South is the no. 1 seed here and has drawn a qualifier in R1. Unfortunately the other seed in her section is 38-year-old former world no. 4 (albeit over 13 years ago!) Kimiko Date.

Melanie South reached the final of the last 3 25K events in Australia. Trying to emulate Mel are Jade Curtis (the only direct acceptance) along with Jade Windley, Natasha Khan and Jocelyn Rae, who have to qualify. Q1: Brittany SHEED (AUS) (2) BYE Katarina BARCLAY (AUS) Vs Monika WEJNERT (AUS) Kat BAI...
