The intense involvement over the last few weeks have taught us a lot about our players. We are at such a low in the mens game, a rise in rankings may seem the obvious course of events but, individually, who do you think will do well? On 31st December 2008, who'll have moved up or down in the rankings? (Cur...
I came across this on the ITF website. The finals of the last two Brazil Futures have both been between Rogerio Silva, 24, and his younger brother, Daniel Silva, 20. Two weeks ago, Rogerio won the final 6-0 6-1 and last week Rogerio won again but only by 6-1 6-7(2) 6-0. Rogerio has in fact won his last 22 ma...
Tournament Key : M-FU-ESP-23A-2008 Dates : 09 Jun to 14 Jun 2008 Venue : La Palma (TBC), Spain Surface : Hard Alex Ward makes it into the MD...he still must be pinching himself on how he is making main draws. Kyle Brassington and Philip Barlow down in the Alts list.
Keothavong has a Feed Up into this, thanks to the tourney she won in Lebanon. It's nice of her to accept it as this frees up a wild card at Eastbourne. Initial Entry list - 1 CHAKVETADZE Anna RUS 7 2 DEMENTIEVA Elena RUS 9 3 HANTUCHOVA Daniela SVK 10 4 SAFINA Dinara RUS 17 5 SCHIAVONE Francesca ITA 20 6 BONDAR...
I thought I would set up a separate thread for the main draw, like for the men in Nottingham, as this will get lost amongst the scoring for the qualies. The draws for Katie and Mel could certainly have been worse. Main Draw (1) Kuznetsova vs BYE Wozniacki vs Qualifier Stosur vs (WC) O'Brien Mauresmo vs...
We've done it again! TFF's popular Dreamteam game is once again up and running for Wimbledon. As usual you get £50m to select ten men and the same amount for ten women to create your fantasy team. I've created a mini-league (as always). If you want to join it, you'll need to copy and paste this code - 62783...

QR1: Balraj Sohal UNR v Borja Zarco (ESP) UNR Alex Ward WR 969 was the 5th Alt on the last entry list update and the 6th Alt is the top seed in qualifying, so I am hoping that means that the Wardinator ended up as the last DA here!
Every year at Queen's, I go to the bookshop and pick up a tennis book. Last year it was Neil Harman's book about Tigger and Greg, "Duel for the Crown", which was a good read. I did later find out that some of the stuff about Greg's early career was highly inaccurate, but that could well be Neil in...

Went to Queens yesterday and came back prettydisilusioned with the whole "charade". Here we are in the UK trying to produce a group of World Class Players and get away from the perception that tennis is an elitist sport and then you go along to one of our showcase events and are totally surr...

Some folks suggested having a 'Qualies' only thread and since we have so many Brits in the qualies then lets have one. Stevens post from the other thread : QR1: Daniel Cox WR 942 v (q2) Thomaz Bellucci (BRA) WR 68 QR1: (WC) George Coupland UWR 1678 v (q3) Igor Kunitsyn (RUS) WR 78 QR1: Alex Bogdanovic WR 24...
