A couple of unranked Brits in the qualies draw, David Baxendine and Timothy Bradshaw. QR1 Timothy Bradshaw v Octavian Stane (Canada) David Baxendine v Fabrico Morales (Mexico)
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Andy reached round 3 last year, so is defending 75 points. This means he's now level on points with Youzhny, who wasn't there last year. Berdych drops one place, defending a Semi Final. Nalbandian, also defending a semi, drops off the table. IF A...
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Boggo's slide down the rankings continues as week 42 begins. He's defending 14 points from a quarter- final appearance, and so drops seven more places to 161 Norman, Gil, Kollerer, Lacko, Waske and Giraldo also drop.
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net)Tim reached the third round in Madrid last year, which means he loses 75 points as the week begins, and drops to 246: just below Jamie's table and just above Richard's. So I thought it best to combine the three of them in the one (long) table. With Tim dr...

So Baggy put up a little fight tonight against Rafa but lost 4 and 4 so its Murray next for him. I really think that the way Andy has been playing that he must have a good chance of winning. Perhaps even in straights. Andy knows how to take sets off of Nadal....I hope he can take another 2 off him this time. Im g...

When looking at the junior rankings we have about 10 lads born in 1990 ranked top 500, maybe even more and we have no lads born 1991 anywhere near the top 300, if i'm not mistaken. I think we even have 2 1992's ranked before any 1991's. Is it just a bad year or was 1990 a great year for producing tennis players...
JASON ROBINSON, Andrew Sheridan and Jonny Wilkinson are standing before God at the throne of Heaven. God looks at them and says: "Before granting you a place at my side, I must first ask you what you believe in." Addressing Robinson first, he asks: "What do you believe?" Robins...
Last time Boggo will be able to make main draw of one of these super-challengers till he gets back into top 130. Ridiculously strong draw though, I mean 14 top 100 players is just crazy.....looks like going for Kolding 50K+H would have been a better idea, with the Madrid Masters this week, all the playe...
Bally is second seed in the first of two Japanese 25Ks played on carpet. Rika Fujiwara could prove a tough opponent in the second round. She is a former top 100 player, who is only unseeded because she was out of the game for a year until this May. HISAMATSU, Shiho [JPN/5] vs TAKAGISHI, Tomoyo [JPN] FUJI...
Tournament Key : M-FU-JPN-10A-2007 Dates : 15 Oct to 21 Oct 2007 Venue : Kashiwa, Japan Surface : Hard Jonathan Kinsella is number 6 seed in qualies He won his first round against OTSUKA, Shinnosuke (JPN) 6-2 7-6(6)
Rich Irwin pops up in the main draw. couple of unknown Brits failed to qualify. MDR1 (869) Irwin vs Bjelica (SER) (8) (651) its on hard courts. I guess he's got a chance... He's in doubles too but has a crud partner and has drawn 2nd seeds in R1.
