British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

I was thinking we could do our own version of the cincinnati Pick em contest but with the U.S. Open. I dont remb the exact point system i know someone posted it already. We can twick that a little bit to fit the US Open draw. ** We can even have a prize for the winner if someone has somethig they are willin...

ATP Beijing [1.25] Dominik Hrbaty v Alexander Peya [3.80] [1.70] Hyung-Taik Lee v Michael Berrer [2.50] [1.08] Ivan Ljubicic v Kevin Kim [6.00] [1.48] Ivo Karlovic v Danai Udomchoke [2.62] [1.20] Marcos Baghdatis v Yeu-Tzuoo Wang [4.50] [1.25] Mario Ancic v Stefano Galv...

Jade Curtis is playing here. She's seeded 10th and so has been given a bye through rd1. In rd2 she faces either Sarah Guzick or Christina Liles, both are from the USA. Jade could face 8th seeded Aussie Jessica Moore in rd3. They've played twice this year, Jessia won 7-6, 6-4 in rd2 of a 10K down un...

Rd1: M Blake [GB] v R Steckley [Can][8] A Kennaugh [GB] v D To [Aus] C Eaton [GB] v R Smeets [Aus][2] Unfortunately, it looks like only Andy Kennaugh has any chance of progressing to rd2

Myles' opponent is ranked 663, reaching a high of 527 in 2005. Steckley is one of the on-form...

Rd1: D Brewer [GB] v J Sirianni [Aus][3] Extremely tough rd1 draw for David against the ITF player of the month for August. 31 year old Sirianni won two futures events on clay in Germany and Holland which rocketed him up the rankings to 333. His career high ranking is 199, reached in 2003 after he'd b...

Rd1: L Childs [GB] v J Pequery [Fr][1]

Horrible, horrible draw for Lee. Feel really gutted for him after such a good run last week. Pequery is beatable though, he's ranked 265 and Lee has beaten lots of higher ranked players. Pequery will be playing h...

Anne Keothavong is on the alternates list for this tournament next week, I don't think she'll quite make it into the main draw but it looks like she'll play qualifying which starts on Saturday.

Main draw - L Childs vrs R Jouan (qualifier) R Hutchins vrs A Sidorenko (7) Hard match for Ross. Hopefully Lee can get through

Orleans, France 6 Bogdanovic, Alex GBR 142 22 Lee, Martin GBR 219 Alternates 4. Bloomfield, Richard GBR 226 12. Parmar, Arvind GBR 25 Bloomers could make it with just a few withdrawls....Paramar may have to qualify.

[1.04] Roger Federer v Nikolay Davydenko [11.00] [1.28] Andy Roddick v Mikhail Youzhny [3.75] [2.10] Maria Sharapova v Justine Henin-Hardenne [1.72]

Well this could be a very intersting match up, as i think Murray will want revenge for the defeat earlier in the year. Lets see how good his fitness is if he goes another five setter. I think Today's performance against Gonzalez was brilliant. The middle part of that game...

On Jade Curtis' 3 set rd1 win: Jade Curtis joined Naomi Cavaday to give Britain a dual presence in the second round of the US Open girls’ singles on Monday. But just like her compatriot a day earlier, 16-year-old Curtis had to overcome a major case of Grand Slam nerves as well as her opponent. Eventually...

Here's Tim's table for US Open fortnight. STRONG>rank  

Davydenko [1.57] v Haas [2.25] Federer [1.08] v Blake [7.0]

Is it too early to start the calculations for Andys total ranking points at the end of 2006? If Andy does play another match until the end of the year (worse than the worst case scenario I hope

), I believe he will lose the points for Bangkok and Basel (180 points in total) and replace them w...

i had a quick look at the race and i think Andy has an outside chance of making the masters cup especially if there are some withdrawals. here are the standings before the US Open 1 Federer, Roger (SUI) 1124 2 Nadal, Rafael (ESP) 775 3 Ljubicic, Ivan (...
