The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Alex starts the week advancing one place to WR124, as Cuevas drops behind him. Capdeville also drops places because of points defended from '06
The new table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Andy is defending a quarter final place from last year, but remains unchanged at WR16 as the week begins. Robredo, Youzhny, Ljubicic and Ferrero all drop places.
Anne Keothavong: A superb month for her, moving back into the top 150, after making the Lexington 50K final and winning Vancouver Sarah Borwell: Sarah reclaimed her place in the top 300 after winning the Frinton 10K and some solid challenger performances, two 25K quarters Mel South: Mel has starte...
Jenny Allan and Amanda Carreras decided to hang round in Finland. Can't say I blame them. 1st and final qualies round (1095) (RUS) Eugenia Pashkova vs (GBR) (unr) Jennifer Allan (unr) (GBR) Amanda Carreras vs (unr) (BUL) Maria Toncheva. My guess is that Carreras has the better chance! Thought she'd...

I claim no credit for spotting this Grauniad article: my attention was drawn to it by a similarly tennis-besotted friend! Andy was terrible and I didn't want to watch, says brother Jamie Richard Jago in Cincinnati Friday, 17th August 2007 Jamie Murray yesterday admitted that watching his younge...
Nominees: Jamie Baker: made semis of Lexington 50K challenger Josh Goodall: made Felixstowe semis and won the doubles title, made doubles final of Nottingham challenger Ross Hutchins: won doubles title in Lexington Dan Evans: made first 10K quarters in Felixstowe
3 brits in the boys main draw. Elliot Chang (yet to play) Max Gregor (464) lost to Joao BAstos (q) (668) Faris Akhazzan (383) bt Manuel Marcelo (wc) (1182) Suzy Larkin qualified for the girls draw. Well done to her so far.
Not great news. DEspite 5 lads maing the main draw by right, including form man Marsalek, only Greg Goodall who was a LL is into R2. But GOOD for HIM, he beat the 8th seed with half the ranking and faces a WC next who won thorugh due to a withdrawal!
Jamie Delgado has teamed up with Mischa Zverev in the doubles here: They play number 1 seeds Levinsky and Skoch first match up on the grandstand court, starting at 5pm Croatian time (I assume that's 4pm British Summer time)
Stretch and Bhupathi (has a ring to it, doesn't it!) face Perry/Monaco in R1 with the Bryans waiting in R2 for the winner. -- Edited by Drew at 18:00, 2007-08-12

After Cincinnati, Murray said he may play in New Haven, perhaps with his brother, Andy, who returns here today against Robby Ginepri, of the United States, after 12 weeks out with a wrist injury, or even as a partner to Tim Henman, the British No 2, with an eye towards next months Davis Cup play-off tie a...

Jamie Baker is top seed in qualies! His Section Baker Clement Reix Justin Diao Natale Olivier Calude Sajous Philip Bester Philip King Ryan Young Cecill Mamiit Should be a cakewalk until final round when Bester, King or Mamiit would provide a stiffer test. Rumours that Boggo is still injured and may n...
Sat down with Willis and Pauffley today and we worked out that they are 61 and 62 respectively in the 1990 age group, so with the 1989 drop out on the 31st Dec, they will rise to this ranking if they stay where they are and do not improve or go down, although they will go up before then!! Also we will have Evans...

OK, so it was only a brief sports report within a general news programme, but BBC News 24 reported 10 minutes or so ago that Andy might give Cincy (& presumably also New Haven) a miss as he prepares for this year's USO, following his defeat in Montreal earlier today by the Italian qualifier, Fabio...
Somebody can add a poll if they like, all I would ask is will he win or won't he! The match is third on Grandstand court. I'm pretty useless with time zones but I think that just might be about 7pm here? Depending on the length of the preceding matches of course. I don't feel confident. Baggy is no Ginepri. U...
