Richard plays Frenchman Jo Wilfred-Tsonga in Saturday's semi-finals. They've played twice before. Tsonga won 6-0, 6-3 on grass in rd2 of the Nottingham challenger in 2004 and went on to win the title. Tsonga also won indoors 6-4, 6-3 in the semis of a Bath 15K earlier this year which he also went on to w...
Am I right in saying that there used to be a poster on here claiming to be Jonny Marray?
I had a chat with him at Nottingham today, and asked him if he'd been on this site recently and he said no he'd never contributed to any website although he had looked at BTZ.
I'm sure there used to be a poster who ...

Jamie Baker number 1 seed in qualifying.
Plays Daniel Yoo in first round who hasn't won a match at challenger level all year, mainly playing at future level. Yoo is ranked 497, over 200 places below Baker. Should be a win for Baker really. Any idea if this match has already been played?

Can fiction ever be truly historically accurate? Does it matter as long as its a good story? What do you think?
Some cases in point.
1. The Other Boleyn Girl - Phillippa Gregory. Very good read - well written and absorbing. The characters are well developed and the love arc is believeable. However...

R3 bt Estelle Guisard of France 60 61
And therefore qualifies!!!!!!!!!!!
The Final of the challnger in Mons. Play to start at 2 oclock BST so in just over 5 minutes. I think if Boggo can make a bright start Tipsarevic will get fustrated and fluster but it will be a big match and one that Boggo needs to win if he wants to be in the top 100 come the end of the year as he is not playing next w...
