Just a quick note Sheddie. That wasn't the highest ranked player Dyce has faced. He lost to Baker in Notts qualies.

Hey guyz, thnkx heaps 4 de results! Can anyone pls tell me the score of Aisam Qureshi/Rohan Bopanna doubles match today from Centre Court??? I am dying 2 get an update on tht! Thnkx! :)
Hi Forsake, I'm askung the question - not sure if Gazz is still there. That's an impressive Indian/Pakistani team: peace through sport and all that! have they played together before?
^Yes they have! Aisam is known for playing with several Indian players. But he maintains that it is not due to him making a peace statement, as he believes that sport and politics should not be mixed! He is a good friend of many indian tour players and as it easy for them to communicate & understand each other, that is why he plays with them!
I understand tht... I know Bloomers but how good is Skupski? I don't know him yet? Do you? N can u also tell me abt young D. Evans (WC)? As he is Aisam's 1st round opponent tommorow... R they playing on Indoor Hard courts now or r they out on grass?
Dan Evans is our top junior (currently ranked world 28)- had a really good South American tour at the end of 2006, making the finals of a lot of Class 1/Class A junior events. He's 17 (May 07) and has got another year in Juniors if he wants it, but is starting to play a few senior events. I'd say Qureshi is hot favourite: he's a bit too good for Dan just yet.
Skupski's been playing the US College circuit until recently. He's had good results in the last couple of Futures he's played and in Challenger qualies. I've got no idea how good or bad his doubles is!
