The LTA seem to think so: The first round draw for the Mens Singles at Wimbledon has presented Sheffields Jonny Marray with a big hurdle in the diminuitive shape of Sebastien Grosjean. The 59" Frenchman from Marseille has an impressive pedigree at Wimbledon-twice before (2003, 2004) reachin...
The new, much more user-friendly Excel-free entry form at http://www.britishtennis.net/07pickem/pickemef.htm is ready to go apart from needing the draw to be made. For the Wimbledon pick 'ems (and possibly for all grand slams if the Wimby one is successful), we are going to invite people from l...
Andy draws Nicolas Lapentti in R1 and might play Tim Henman in R3 if Henman gets past Moya in R1. I think Mathieu and Tsonga are also in their mini section!!
The New table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Dropping below Tim are Mahut and Lopez, so Tim starts the week up 2 to 75 As Tim's now down well below Stretch's doubles ranking, the order of the rankings page has been changed accordingly.
We currently have two robots in the pick 'ems: Roberta - picks the higher-ranked player to win every match, based on the same rankings that the tournament uses for seeding purposes (i.e. Monday before the event) KingKong - totally random, the mythical '1 million hairy gorillas' Suggestions for two...

Another sparsely-attended Spanish Future with just two ranked players in a qualifying draw of only 18 players. Can the Brits take advantage this time? One of them must do, because there is one all Brit match in the FQR! FQR: Zander Woodford-Smith UNR v Antoni Gomez UNR FQR: Luke Campbell UNR v Daniel R...

http://www.sportingo.com/article/1001,3737 Looks like the "9 Brits out in round 1" articles have started early this year. There was one in The Sun last week. Steven Howard basically said how generous the All England Club was to give 9 wildcards to Brits and that unless Murray is fit th...
Martin Baker was the only Brit to try his luck in qualifying in Marburg. He faced Manuel Hafemann, the unranked German in the first round and defeated him 6-0 6-3. He goes through to face another German, Julien Lorenz, who received a bye through the first round.
About to start in Nottingham! My money is on the seeded pair of Stretch and Bootie! Looks like they will be serving first too... -- Edited by johnnylad at 11:46, 2007-06-18
