Well unless I am mistaken we have no British men left playing singles in either Futures, Challengers or ATPs.

Still a few guys in doubles I think.

The LTA want 4 guys around the top 20 by 2012....we need more pro players playing and getting further into events now if they want that !!!

I'm guessing that means Rob Searle's gone out to the WC in Chandigarh, didn't expect that to happen.  (checks - yes, he lost 1 & 4)

That means that of the 13 British men who played a non-Brit in singles main draws this week, only one (qualifier Andrew Fitzpatrick in Chandigarh) managed to win a single SET off a non-Brit.

A week in which the Brits collectively performed a bit like this guy used to -> http://www.adamlownsborough.usptapro.com/index.cfm/MenuItemID/353/MenuGroup/ProHome06.htm

Indeed he is, in fact even the BBC have ignored him as there story about Murray says all british interest ended with Booty & Stretch loss. Poor Aucks, it must be tough to be ignored

        I expect that James is used to being ignored by now, I hope they win but         it is a really tough call.

I can only assume that the BBC have amended their article:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/6705619.stm

The article recognises that James Auckland is the sole Brit representative.
