Hopefully it'll be a happy birthday against Rafa! Those who don't frequent AM.com might like to try the birthday quiz question I put there ... it's quite revealing. Which player can all this be said of (E&OE!) - he is 21 today - he is ranked 14 on his 21st birthday - he has already been in the top 10 -...
L32: Alex Bogdanovic WR 255 v Qualifier Not a bad draw, the winner will probably face no. 5 seed Alun Jones (AUS) WR 139. However, the other seed in that quarter is no. 3 seed Kristian Pless (DEN) WR 129. -- Edited by steven at 12:59, 2008-05-11

Aucks in singles qualifying here, he plays 7th seed Bruno Soares WR708 in QR1, if he wins he will face top seed Jean-Christophe Faurel for a place in the main draw, WR323. -- Edited by wolf at 23:25, 2008-05-09
QR1: Orion Modebe UNR v Jakub Jastrzebski (POL) UNR We will have James, Edward and Miles in the main draw here, but I was half expecting to see the likes of Bammy in qualifying here. Since only Orion is there, that means that only one player in the GB 14-24 range is playing in a tournament in a week when the...

I won't be able to maintain the live rankings data going fo...

To all our surprise Andy made light work of DT to go 4-0 in the H2H. I wonder how better Tim could have done if he had managed to have the game to best the Russian ? Anyway....much tougher prospect now. Simon beat Andy is 3 sets in Rome last year in one of those strange scorelines 6-1 1-6 6-3. Simon is 13/11 for...

The Count has suggested that despite the disappearance of the card I sent from some of us to Castelldefells for a certain Mr Dee, maybe we should try again by sending one to Jamie. (Lest anyone thinks we're going as soft as AM.com here and are going to start sending group cards at the drop of a hat, I'm en...

M and M featuring here, as expected. First-round match is against Benneteau and Llodra who they beat in Indian Wells on their way to the SF stages. More of the same this time round guys. Having said that B and L beat them in Las Vegas. Matches therefore stand at 1-1. -- Edited by helki at 20:30, 2008-0...

Yes , Andy has made it - he is to be featured on 'Head Cases' by a puppet on ITV 1 this Sunday at 10.00pm. Having just seen the ad on ITV it looks quite funny although I'm not sure Andy will think so, but hey to appear alongside princes Harry and Wills cant be bad.
