The New Table is posted here (on britishtennis.net) Waikoloa, Hawaii: Alex's tour of the beach resorts continues! 55 points up for grabs this week, and very few other players around his ranking competing, so a good chance to move back up the rankings.

Just watched the last set and a bit of Tsonga beating Youzhny in straights. 7-5 6-0 7-6(6) He is just so talented and a joy to watch.
