Alan Wright returns in qualifying here this week. He had a number of promising results towards the end of last year so hopefully he can build on that. I guess we won't be able to find out where he has been for the last few months, maybe an injury?
Anyway, he finds himself as the 8th seed in q...
Will there be any fall out from this tie?
i think alex will be dropped, whilst i am probably the biggest boggo fan here, its obvious to see that the DC isnt right for him, part of the problem is he is so quiet on court that the crowd dont get behind him, he needs to learn how to show his emotion, the way...

Andy is currently at 36 and will go up to either 34 or 35 next week. I would say there were doubts at the moment with Kiefer and Andreev (neither played for a while) and Ancic (who was in a jet-ski accident last week) who are all above Andy.
He has 85 points to defend in the 2 Masters weeks so it's gonn...
Jamie Baker is on the entry list here and you would expect Jamie Murray to appear in qualifying assuming he is allowed (he is still playing in Aptos Challenger doubles).
I may be missing something but unless I'm mistaken Andy is playing tomorrow. The draw, provided he can get past Hrbaty, is very nice for him. Possibly Burgsmuller then Ginepri. All winnable for him.
Feel free to delete if he has withdrawn or something.[url=http://www.countrywideclassic.co...
Here's this week's rankings table (c)GC77.
Again, this was prepared without help from Tennisfacts - hopefully they'll be back from their holidays soon!
As ever, please let me know if I've made mistakes, or not spotted things.

The singles draws have been published and there are some pretty unfamiliar names in qualifying. That is probably because our brightest youngsters have entered GB F10 which is also next week. I expect the 1st, 2nd and 4th seeds to qualify with very trouble. Ross Hutchins a...
Starting Friday.
TV coverage seems to be BBCi only??? (I have it, I'm all right, Jack!)
Tennis fans left out in the cold again (unless it is on Sky or Eurosport, I wouldn't know about them)

As expected the chances of a home win don't look great. Our only seed is Richard Irwin and that has got to be a first for him. Hopefully one of Irwin, Rushby and Kennaugh will come through that quarter and give us a semi-finalist.
As usual Daniel Cox has been given a wild card drawn a seed and will probabl...

Morgan Phillips plays Syrym Abdukhalikov of Kazakstan (age 18, WR 1125) in round 1 of qualifying here. He will likely meet 6th seed Manuel Jorquera of Italy (WR 419) in round 2 if he progresses. Morgan beat Jorquera in round 1 of Italy F14 which he won in May.
