The ATP play of the month people really seem to like Andy's matches, he must have been nominated more times than anyone else in the past 2 years For October it's a choice between Andy's backhand down the line pass on the run against Chela, Koubek covering all corners of the court in Vienna, Robredo's for...
His 2nd Basel title and 52nd overall and he's wrapped up the ATP Race for the 4th successive year. Roddick in 2003 was the last to deny him it, though Federer still won Wimbledon and the masters cup that year How long will Federer continue to win the race for ?.....it was thought that Nadal would present...

Ollie edged out fish 135 to 132 points. Thats longer than some 5 set matches. Fish must have been gutted (pardon the pun) as he served 43 ACES t...
The only decent tennis reporting (with exception of the Times) most of the papers have been doing recently is on the murky match-fixing world... What do you reckon about Davydenko ?

I thought I'd start this because it seems to be that time of the week &, although there's a similar thread in the Andy Murray forum for him (he's the second seed behind "Davy-donkey"), it inevitably makes no mention of the fact that Aucks & Hutch will be reunited in the doubles ther...
Murray leads the H2H 2-0 with two straight sets wins over big DT. This will be 3-0 to Andy after the match but I think Andy will drop a set. DT has not played that much this year but does have 2 titles to Andys one so far. Hope Andy can pick-up his second this week.
Another one to flag up, as Jamie Murray is reunited with one of his many erstwhile partners, the Aussie, Jordan Kerr, for this tournament. They're unseeded & play the Argentines, Martín García & Sebastián Prieto in the first round. The latter were the top seeds in Andrézieux last week (...
