A good choice of tournament for David Brewer, he's done well to get direct entry for a 15K and he's also got a decent draw.

Safin v Haas is probably the pick of today's men's 4th round matches. This is the US Open website preview: "In case you missed the Opening Night fireworks display here, there’s another one on tap today, as No. 14 seed Tommy Haas takes on Marat Safin. When two huge hitters like this collide, the resultin...
Some mouthwatering match-ups are featured today. Not only is there Murray-Gonzalez but there's Nalbandian-Safin, Becker-Agassi, Verdasco-Roddick, Moodie-Nadal, Blake-Moya, S Williams-Ivanovic and Hewitt-Djokovic.
Safin's form has been very hit and miss on the US hard courts this su...
The match of the day in the women's draw looks to be Amelie Mauresmo versus Serena Williams. Despite being out of action from January until August Serena reached the latter stages of Cincinatti and Los Angeles in August and has been building up some impressive form here dispatching Hantuchova and Iv...
[1.72] Andrew Murray v Nikolay Davydenko [2.00] [1.50] Marat Safin v Tommy Haas [2.50] [1.53] James Blake v Tomas Berdych [2.37] [1.01] Roger Federer v Marc Gicquel [15.00]
