The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) And the Challenger season starts to wind down..... Neither Alex nor Jamie are defending points, nor are they playing.

Myles Blake is the third seed in an 18-man qualifying field. He therefore had a bye into the second round, where he is due to play Jamie Dash (AUS) at about 11 tomorrow morning local time (= about 1 o'clock in the morning GMT). Information about the main draw & the doubles seems impossible to come by...
