Several members have suggested the idea of doing a kind of frontpage website for this site and I've decided that it would be a good idea to set one up. Here are my plans: The site will be totally interactive with this message board so that the two are one. We can have a page for Rob's ranking calculations th...
The Table is posted here (On Britishtennis.net) It's based on Andy's current points from week 7 - i.e. before the final. Hopefully I'll be changing it in the morning! Note: Djokovic drops behind Andy, Gas...
He won 2nd place in steveg's prestigious "Most futile effort awards" "Most Futile Effort" Award This is much like the "Time To Get a Day Job" Awards. Those were at the ATP level so at least players have a chance to fall back to a lower level to gather themselves and...
Well, here we go again. Who will do it this time? Roddick will be desperate for revenge, but can he get it? Not if our Andy plays as well as he can, but will he, or will his level drop after what has been a pretty hectic fortnight? -- Edited by ultimateshedman at 11:27, 2007-02-24-- Edited by ultimateshedm...
Just thought that I'd start posting on what my favourite player in 12 and under age group is doing. My knowledge of 12s is terrible (non-existent), but I'll do it in any case.
My favourite player is this talented boy called Jonny O'Mara.

Jonny had been hoping to return to action this week in the Cherbourg challenger but he faces a further month on the sidelines as an MRI scan has revealed a slight shoulder tear. Jonny is undergoing intensive physiotherapy in a bid to be back as soon as possible, but is mindful that he wants his shoulder t...
How fresh will Andy be from San Jose ?.... Fresh enough to beat Frank I would hope ! Currently ranked 95 with a high of 82 last October he has won several challenger titles and again is the Canadian No 1. Has also taken sets of the likes of Hewit, Gasguet and Roddick. The highest ranked player he beat last y...

Starts from 21st Feb and is played on indoor hard. This is one beast of a list! This should have been a Grade 2... Main draw: Marcus Willis, Neil Pauffley, Lewis Barnes. Qualies: Artim Kolpakov, Ahmed El Menshawy, Callum Lloyd, Jamie Whiteford, Charlie Buirski, Gary Chamberlain. [url=ht...
An excitable presence on court? Touch and craft off the strings, rather than just slugging the ball? Notice any similarities there? Not only has John McEnroe disclosed that he sees some of himself in Andy Murray, the New Yorker also predicted for the first time that the British teenager "absol...
A bit surprised no one had made this thread yet... What do people think? I'd say Andy in 2, hopefully this time I'm actually right! Mods feel free to jazz up the poll. edit: hmm the poll disappeared. very strange. -- Edited by imoen at 12:14, 2007-02-22

Jamie has appetite for slice of Murray pie "You always want to beat your brother don’t you?” Unfortunately for Jamie Murray, he has not managed that feat since his younger sibling, Andy, was about 14. As the younger Murray has charged up the world rankings to his present position o...
The tennis guys in the American media are liking Andy a lot at the moment. Some pretty nice stuff. He's obviously always been pretty popular in the US so the high opinions are maybe not that surprising but there's some nice stuff getting flung in his direction and some nice comparisons. http:...
If anyone is interested, I have a few good pics of Butorac/Murray during/after their finals here in Dallas. If you would like for me to send them to you, shoot me an email. ckarseno@hotmail.com
Qualifying (British matches): This event requires players to go through a gruelling 4 rounds to reach the main draw. Makes you wonder why they didn't play Melilla instead which has a weaker field and only 3 rounds, even if it is on the nasty red stuff. Rd1: M Gibb v J Jackson A Hawkins v J Bigot (Be...
Just wanted to keep you guys updated on Jamie. He is in Saddlebrook this week and hitting with James Blake. After this week he is traveling back to England to play 3 or 4 futures tournies. Hope everyone has a great week. CK
Have been watching quite a bit of this over the last few days... Saw Thiemo De Bakker in action against Ljubicic yesterday. I was impressed, he's definately got the game to be top 100. Can hit big shots off both sides, especially the forehand and he works the points really well. Not afraid to come i...
Rob has been asking for different versions of "come on" to cheer people on in the ranking threads. Here is a list to make his task easier - Elvish - Bad! Welsh - Dere 'mlaen! English - Come on! Croatian - Ajmo! Serbian Ajde! Bulgarian - Aide! Italian - Forza! Arabic - Yallah! Russian - Dava...
