Andy is seeded 11th, has a bye first round, Melzer or Safin in R2, Karlovic probably awaits in R3, with Roddick possibly in R4, and he is in Federer's quarter.
Jamie Delgado continues his South American tour, this week in Ecuador. He's reverted to a previous partner, Luxembourgois Gilles Muller. Their first round opponents are the number 2 seeds, Argentines Eduardo Schwank and Horacio Zaballos.
Tournament Key : M-FU-USA-06A-2008 Dates : 03 Mar to 09 Mar 2008 Venue : McAllen, TX, USA Surface : Hard Jamie Baker No 1 seed again....no other Brits ! They like their tennis in Texas !
Matt Smith is 1st Alt here and Maniel Bains 7th Alt. Given that the 6th Alt. is no. 1 seed in qualifying, it looks like Matt has made it into the main draw but Maniel's not there. QR1: Orion Modebe UNR v Albert Mare (BUR) UNR QR1: Nikki Roenn UNR v (q7) Denis Bejtulahi (SRB) WR 1359

I see what CourtCrazy meant about Candna F2 being much stronger than F1 - Ross, Kyle, Timothy & Jonathan were seeded 1, 4, 6 & 9 in qualifying last week. I can only assume it's because there is no Future in the US next week now that the set of three in Texas has ended, though having said that, out of t...
A couple of Brits have turned up in qualifying in Western Australia: QR1: (q2) Tom Rushby WR 692 v Marvin Barker (AUS) UNR QR1: Dan Cottier UNR v (q15) Sun-Yong Kim (KOR) WR 1495 (CH 660 in 2006) The really weird thing about this is that Tom withdrew from this Future on 26 Feb - if he hadn't, he'd be 1st Alt on...
L32: Alex Slabinsky WR 396 v Evgeny Kirillov (RUS) WR 362 Not a bad R1 draw for Slabba given that it's quite a strong Future, but (2) Adrian Mannarino (FRA) WR 225 is likely to await the winner in R2. Lugassy, back from Japan after losing to Bloomers in Kyoto, is the top seed here.
after following last nights, ultimately dissapointing, matches wanted to do a quick poll of who we think will be the Brit No2 at the end of the year. i think there is a strong possibility that Jamie will overtake Alex around easter time as Alex has a lot of points to come off but then after Wimby Alex has al...
Anne and Katie should be in the draw, made later today, for qualifying for this prestigious $2.1M tournament in the Californian desert. The qualifying draw is 48 player, with 2 rounds scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. Last year Anne reached final qualifying and both are aiming to become the first Br...
An arguement that has often made me laugh is the arguement over who has the stronger age group usually it is between our 89 boys and 90 boys.. which in my opinion 90 takes hands down.. but now 91s seem to think that they have a stronger age group than 90s? i might be completly wrong but i think that 90 is the st...

Jamie Murray and Max Mirnyi are up against Johannson and Lindstedt in R1 here. Benneteau and Llodra are the seeds in their quarter. A semi- final against Bjorkman and Ullyett would be nice for Max.

The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) As it was week one of Indian Wells last year, no- one is defending points and so no - one drops behind Alex. Boggo begins the week with 237 points at 177. Economidis (in Las Vegas) and Recouderc (in Dubai) lost in ATP qualifying. Hernych and Jan Mina...
It's not often you find a Brit turning up in qualifying for a Challenger in South America on red clay ... QR1: Jamie Delgado WR 1218 v Juan Pablo Amado (ARG) WR 434 Just had a sudden thought, Robert Dee's had WCs for Futures main draws here in the recent past. Could he be ...
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) This week last year was the first week of Indian Wells, so there's no points to defend and no- one dropping places Andy starts the week with 1625 points at world number 11. If Andy brings home the title, he could climb as high as world number 8 - equallin...

The head-to-head currently stands at 3-2 in Andy's favour: he was beaten in their first-ever encounter in IW in 2006, then in the USO later the same year, but has had the upper hand ever since: revenge in IW last year + victory in two successive tournaments in Doha, last year & this. Will Dav...
