Wednesday, at 6pm local time - 10.00am GMT. Andy says the match will be a tough one - he beat Simon in the Madrid Masters final, but Gilles was very tired from a lot of tough matches then. However, Andy does lead the H2H 2-1, with both wins coming this year - both in Masters Series, Madrid and Hamburg.
Someone on the GR board asked who Anne K's next 'target' in the GB all-time list was and the only players I could think of were Wade, Barker and Durie, all of whom peaked in the top 5. Turns out someone on tennisforum.com has tried to list all players who have ever appeared in the top 100 by country in the op...

The former Davis Cup captain, who has been in the job for two years, will continue to work for the LTA on a number of projects including reviewing and enhanci...
No idea why they split the name of the town on the drawsheet, it's Maspalomas (unless they've changed the name in the 15 years since I was there LOL) - best known for its sand dunes. The Wardinator doesn't seem to have made the trip out to the Canaries for the Futures here (or may be injured, not sure), but M...
Bloomers (probably top seed again), Skups, Bam-Bam and Illingworth are DAs here, while Cox, Flan, Milton and Fleming are all higher on the Alt list than the no 2 qualifying seed (the top seed in qualifing, Insausti, wasn't on the original entry list) so I imagine that some of them have got in as DAs or go...

It is a quiet time in the Junior calendar before the Grade 1/Grade A tournaments in North America. This week there was a small group in an American Grade 4, who made no impression, and a larger contingent in a Grade 5 event in Saint Cyprien, France. The singles results were unimpressive. Despite having...
