To all our reliefs, Richard is in the main draw for this event, coming out against 7th seed Gary Lugassy. If he can get past him, his quarter looks fairly decent. I presume Ken will have travelled with Richard to continue their doubles team(?)
This is Hypathetical (of course) Of the (active) Brits Currently ranked 300-700...... Who would win a mini tournament? so thats Goodall Bloomfield Slabinsky Ward Kasiri Seator Eaton Blake Skupski Rushby I'd love to see some of those play each other, Ward Vs Kasiri would be an interesting one!
Faris Akhazzan us the lone Brit here & is 16th on the entry list, looks like a winnable G2 on paper for Faris. I will link up with him & a few others at the G1 in Thailand next week.

PALM VALLEY It wasnt the best conditions for top-quality tennis on Sunday. Not with the wind swirling around the tennis courts at Harlingen Country Club like an out-of-control mosh pit. You never knew which direction the wind was going to come from, said Jamie Baker, who handled the conditions to wi...

The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) (re-posted after Jamie won the USA F4 title ) Jamie starts the week by climbing two places to 241, as Brands and Haehnel defend points from '07.
