I apologise for being too lazy to look this up myself...but just wondered what Bally's schedule plans are for the near future ? I think Mervatron said she's playing some 25Ks...which ones is she going for ?
The final leg of the series of WTA events in Asia is in Thailand. Bally has crossed over from Japan before returning there for some 25K events. The qualifying draw here is stronger than in Japan, with nearly all the seeds having been in the main draw of Tashkent or Tokyo. Bally has drawn Katie's doubles p...
Found out some info this evening on why so few Brits get wcs here... Basically that this is not actually an LTA tournament. The tournament is owned by Octagon, a management company. They therefore have the biggest say in WCs, hence they give them to players who are on their books. This has always been th...

Jamie Murray will be linking up with Canada's Mark Knowles at the upcoming Madrid Masters. Knowles has amassed 46 doubles titles and 3 slams in an illustrious career. Murray told BBC Sport: "It will be very exciting for me, it's a great chance to play with an experienced player." The partn...
So, it is Robredo that Andy has to beat tomorrow. They have met once before, in Las Vegas in spring 2006, when Tommy came out the winner 6-2 6-2. Time to even out that H2H, Andy!

Bally returns to action for the first time since the US Open, and is also down for a 25K event in Japan 2 weeks later. However she has a tough opener in the first round of qualies against a former top 100 player. Sarah also plays here before joining Anne in Australia for a series of 25Ks. Both are on first up i...
So its the Argentinian who stands between Murray and the final. Canas is 30 next month but has had a great year as we all know reaching a high of 14 in the rankings. 4 of his singles titles have come on clay and thats his best surface. He won on Clay this year and he may see this another opportunity to add an...

Mel is in the main draw, and her section is: Margalita Chakhnashvili GEO [4] vs Alexandra Dulgheru ROU Q/LL vs M...
The OOP doesn't seem to be out yet. Tsonga had a nice 3-setter tonight, hopefully he will be feeling a bit tired! I hesitate to predict as I am usually wrong, but I think Andy should win this one. Edit - the OOP is now out, Andy's match is scheduled for 5pm (4pm here) But then, the match before is scheduled fo...

So Andy faces the Frenchmen for the first time in any type of singles match. There are both very similar in build and height but that is where the similarities end. Llodra is 7 years older and a leftie. Llodra has not had a great year at this level with an 11/15 win lost record. Andy is seeking to improved...
