Johanna Konta has so far had a fruitless series of Challenger qualifiers in North America. She has moved on to Augusta, and we are at least assured of a 'Brit' in final qualifying: (7)Mary Gambale (USA) v Alexandra Anghelescu (USA) (11)Johanna Konta (AUS) v Margot Carter (GBR)
Anne Keothavong withdrew on Friday, leaving Elena Baltacha as the sole Brit in this strong Challenger event. She faces top 100 player Lucie Safarova, who blows hot (very hot at times - beating Kuznetsova and Henin back-to-back in Paris indoors) and cold, having a lot of power which she finds difficu...
Qualifying Draw is already out and we have Myles Blake as a DA QR1: Alaxander Hutchings UNR v Gil Sala-Bordallo UNR (ESP) QR1: Pierre Clad UNR v Ionel-Catalin Buzatu UNR (ROU) No sign of A-Ward in the draw so sadly it looks like injury was more serious last week Edit: corrected the town name - it's in Cata...
I don't think she's played since the US open. If i were to be my house on a british girl being ranked 75 in october of this year it would have been Naomi. But instead shes fallen down to 260. I know she's had a few problems with her ankle and this 'personal problem' that shes been having. Is she injured again o...

Fitzy is here, as he suggested he would be earlier this year, and as 1st Alt on the last IF update has probably scraped into the main draw. He is joined by Feaver, who is likely to be seeded, and Maniel Bains.
Katie O'Brien is the sole Brit in a fairly strong qualifying draw. She starts against an opponent who beat her earlier in the year in Dubai: (1) Ekaterina Makarova RUS v Dominika Nociarova SVK Eva Hrdinova (CZE) v Katie O'Brien (GBR) Elena Vesnina (RUS) v Nina Bratchikova (RUS) Kathrin Woerle (GER) v...

A friend of mine in Italy is friends with Claudio and told me that he had English heritage. Any chance of the talented, ambidextrous player who is top 500 being in contention for DC?
First singles match tomorrow, but at 2pm local time (1pm UK), it should not be a problem for Andy. Monfils might be, though. Another one who has been in very good form recently. He is a bit erratic and flashy but when he is on, he is very hard to beat. I'm hoping Andy can knock him "off". The H2H is...
This ITF event is so strong that Anne Keothavong, the only Brit playing singles here, is unseeded. Her first round draw is one of the best available. Live scoring and live streaming are on offer at times during the week.
