Singles draw. Bad loss for Pauffley, but I guess that it's hard to play on clay straight after playing on grass for a few weeks. Well fought win for Marcus but he has Inzerillo next.
Just two more remaining matches to bet on. Should be able to allow up until 1800 for these matches, hopefully a few of you see this thread in time: V Spadea 1.44 v P Capdeville 2.62 M Berrer 1.40 v D Norman 2.75 I'll stick up these matches that are due to be played Thursday too as I probably won't have time to d...
Couldn't find a thread for this yet, but some good news for the overseas Futures contingent R1 (7)Myles Blake bt Anoosha Shahgholi (WR870) 6-1 6-2 Myles plays Charles Roche (WR786) from France in Round 2

Once again, thanks to everyone who took park in the Tennis For Free Dreamteam dummy run for the French Open. Now, the competition gets under way for real as the TFF Dreamteam for Wimbledon is now open for entries. Currently the list of direct entries are available to be chosen from, with wild cards/qu...
Over the years we have heard Henman complain about the grass, the balls etc at Wimbledon. Last night here in the States the Tennis Channel showed extended highlights from the 1999 Queens Final between Henman & Sampras. The net rushing tennis was amazing, breathtakingly good. It was an amazing m...
So, Tim Henman keeps saying he is not ready to retire. Go to his website, and Wimbledon is the last event on his schedule. . . Check the entry lists for the next six weeks and he is not on any of them. . . So what exactly are his plans, apart from Davis Cup? Anybody got any ideas?
Little bit late putting these up, but hopefully some of you have time to get your bets in. Three more first round matches for tonight: 1830 V Spadea 1.53 v J Gimelstob 2.37 1830 W Moodie 1.16 v T Alves 4.50 1945 C Guccione 1.53 v M Berrer 2.37 Bets accepted until time displayed next to match.

The New table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Andy's defending a fourth round place from last year, and drops back below Blake to 9 It would be a miracle if he could stay in the top 10 this fortnight.
The New table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Tim is defending 35 points. However, Grosjean, Bolelli, Bjorkman, Stepanek among others are defending more, which means that Tim starts the week up one place to 73 -- Edited by RobC at 22:32, 2007-07-02
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Boggo's not playing this week, but his competitors are lining up behind him at the Turin Challenger. No- one can overtake in Round 1, but Seppi, Luzzi, Patience, Dlouhy and Capdeville all look threatening.
The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) All four of the lads are playing the Dublin Challenger this week. Decoud can still overtake the top 3 by winning the Constanta title today.Richardcan try to get some of his places back this week: He can overtake Zeballos, Miranda and Lugassy with a...

Apologies if I'm breaking any unwritten board rule by starting a topic on this particular subject, but it didn't seem to fit in with any of the existing ones - & no doubt one of the old hands will set me back on the straight & narrow if I am!
