QR2: (q3) Timothy Bradshaw WR 1354 v Arturo Loaiza (MEX) UNR QR2: Chris Priddle UNR v (q6) Jared Drucker (USA) WR 1562 Kyle Brassington was 1st Alt at the last update on ITF and given that we know he's been in Mexico and the 2nd Alt is the top seed in qualifying, it's almost certain that sure Kyle will has sc...

So Andy plays the Croatian not before 1.30pm local time on the 'Pista alcala'. Andy has only played Marin once at ATP level...well DC level...Andy winning in 5 sets on the grass. Cilic has picked up his maiden ATP title this year and has beaten Roddick, PHM (twice) , Gonzo...but lost to Seppi, PHM (twic...

Amanda Elliott looks to get back to winning ways here. She is the 4th seed in qualies. Q1: Amanda ELLIOTT (GBR) (4) 315 vs BYE Q2: Amanda ELLIOTT (GBR) (4) 315 vs Gracia RADOVANOVIC (FRA) 760/ Valentina SASSI (ITA) 610 (CH=144 2002)

Nicola Slater, needing just one more point to get a much deserved ranking, is a DA here in this weak 10k, but has drawn the 4th seed. Still it's a winnable match for Nic who is by far our best unranked player. L32: Nicola Slater UNR v (4) Tomoko Dokei WR 659 (CH 360 in Nov 04)

4th on court, so mid-afternoon sometime UK time. Bolelli lost in the final round of qualifying, but got in as a Lucky Loser when Safin withdrew. He then beat Almagro in straight sets (but Almagro is not at his best off clay). It should be a straightforward match for Andy, but the Italian is ranked 43...

Georgie Stoop has returned home after her successful American series, so attention turns to Johanna Konta, who is in the same qualifying section as doubles specialist Margot Carter: (3) Christina McHale (USA) v Brooke Bolender (USA) Brittany Augustine (USA) v Margot Carter (GBR) Svetlana K...

This is Georgie Stoop's final event in the US for the time being, and it will be hard for her after Troy, in combination with all the matches she has played in the last 3 weeks. Georgie should be in the main draw, while doubles specialist Margot Carter is in qualifying: Lindsay LEE-WATERS (USA) (1) BYE Ma...

Elena Baltacha and Katie O'Brien should be seeded here, and Amanda Elliot is also a DA. Wild cards have gone to Anna Smith, Jade Curtis and Tara Moore, leaving one left to someone who is not on the entry list, more than probably Laura Robson, I can't see the organisers turning her down if she asked for one...

Q1: WILLIAMS, Jodie (GBR) v Bye Q2: WILLIAMS, Jodie (GBR) UNR v MONTEIRO, Nicole (NED) 3 875

QR1: Matthew Short UNR v Young Thomas (AUS) UNR (*) Winner to play (q4) Jared Easton (AUS) WR 1363 (*) Both the ATP and ITF drawsheets have Young as the first name and Thomas as the surname, but no doubt it's really the other way round!

The quartet who played in the September 25Ks down under (Naomi Broady, Elizabeth Thomas, Jocelyn Rae and Sophie Proctor) have been joined by Melanie South and Emily Webley-Smith for the October series. Em will be looking to replace the distressing experience she had here earlier in the year with so...

Jamie Murray & Jordan Kerr are the top seeds here. They have an awful draw though, Mikhail Youzhny & Mischa Zverev, who have just won ATP Tokyo, as well as winning Halle earlier in the year. Ross Hutchins & Stephen Huss are in the same quarter, and they have drawn Teimuraz Gabashvili &...

Following last minute withdrawals and 2x SE cleared - Slabba and Bloomers will join Boggo and Josh as direct entries into main draw. In one respect this is good but as top seeds in quallies they stod a good chance of 2 points. Tournament Website Singles Draw Order Of Play (When available)

A quite incredible story from Neil Harman in todays Times. Excellent news about Liams victory but, the fact that his funding, and that of his sisters is coming from their parents alone.....after selling the family home, is almost unbelievable. I accept there must be another side to this story, fac...
