QR2: (q11) Gregory Howe WR 1315 v Ahmed Borai (EGY) UNR Gregory ensures that El Aynaoui is not the only 36-year-old in action in a Future this weekend!
This is a strong 25K, as it provides a link tournament between Indian Wells and Miami for top Challenger players, and Anne should be in the main draw (one of the many 25K events where she is a former champion). Anna is in qualifying, and her first opponent lost to Anna's doubles partner Ana Veselinovic r...

Having watched the Haas match last night, I have to say that was the most disappointing performance Ive seen from Andy in years. When he was 18 we were all saying he wont reach his peak until he's 21. Now he's not far off and I really dont see that much of an improvement in his game since 2005. His serve is no...
Georgie, Anna and Nicola have hopped islands in this Canaries triple-header. Georgie used her protected ranking, hoping to make the main draw but just missed out. Nicola's qualifying section includes a former top 100 player and the Australian Open Junior Champion, should she get that far. The thr...
Murray v Haas 3rd match on Stadium 2. Might start around 10pm in the UK. Tommy made a slow start to the year, apparently he has been out injured, missing the Australian. But victory over Roddick in straight sets, and then Verdasco in 3, suggests that he has found his form. I would imagine this match will b...
