Matthew James makes his 2008 Junior debut. He is the 9th seed, and defeated Patrik Brydolf of Sweden 6-7, 6-4, 6-4 to reach the Last 16. Now he plays the 8th seed, Czech Richard Hampel, who is ranked 132.

One of the tennis writes (quite possibly Neil Harman in the Times) voiced the opinion that what GB needed more than Andy going deep into a slam was a British woman joining him in the second week of a slam. Well, Tennis Australia how have a story that the LTA would die for - Casey Dellacqua, WR 78, who they w...
