That is absurd from the LTA, I must say. His wild cards have absolutely nothing to do with his lifestyle or his funding - they are based on his performances and his results have been good enough to get him one.

Arka I think the LTA are correct here.

This will hopefully be the catalyst that spurs on young Rise to bigger and better things. We do not have a great deal of young talent so Im sure he will be brought back in so to speak but this kind of behaviour cannot be condoned and what a wake-up call to the rest.

If we are serious about a replacement for Tim Henman then we need 110% committed players giving up everything to achieve their goals....Murray's comments on the BBC were correct.

"But now I don't drink, I don't smoke - it's the sacrifices you have to make if you want to become a great athlete."

Lets hope for a raft of top 50 players....no a greater number of top 300s.

Coxy won by 7-6 6-4. clap.gif That'll get him a new career high.


There was some rain, so it's possible that a few matches got cancelled.

Wahey! Harry Skinner finally gets his first point. Fully deserved, he's come so close so many times. He's a really good player. Hopefully he can qualify more regularly now as he will be seeded in qualies, maybe more points to come.

Just one other 1st Round result.  Izak Van der Merwe[4] def. Edward Allinson 5-7 6-2 6-1.  Good effort taking the first set, shame about the next two.

Really good win by Harry Skinner. clap.gif  Hopefully this is the start of a run of good results by him.  He's got Van der Merwe in round 2.
