Matthew James makes his 2008 Junior debut. He is the 9th seed, and defeated Patrik Brydolf of Sweden 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Last 16. Now he plays the 8th seed, Czech Richard Hampel, who is ranked 132.
Lewis Barnes fresh from his great title run last week competes here with James Richardson & Faris Akhazzan. If Lewis & James have good runs here they can make the top 100. The draw is being done now so will update when possible.
The draw is only 32 strong & they're not among the eight seeds, which I find a trifle puzzling, as the pairs who are seeded, though not necessarily established, have at least one partner with a lot of doubles experience under his/her (usually his!) belt & Liezel Huber has as much as any, sh...

One of the tennis writes (quite possibly Neil Harman in the Times) voiced the opinion that what GB needed more than Andy going deep into a slam was a British woman joining him in the second week of a slam. Well, Tennis Australia how have a story that the LTA would die for - Casey Dellacqua, WR 78, who they w...

So Andy leads the ATP level H2H 1-0 and Tsonga's only win came in the Nottingham Challenger of 2004. I am guessing that this match will be on Monday. Only a guess. AO Radio said that the temp on Monday would be in the mid 30's and then mid 20's for the rest of the first week. Andy in 3 for me.
Not much to report as Jade had a bit of a shocker, was seeded 10 but went down to Russia's Marta Sirotkina 7-6(5), 6-7(7), 6-1 in rd1.....Sirotkina is ranked 40 places lower at 71
