Mozart ain't too bad, he has reached futures doubles finals, and scores the odd singles point here and there.

Very true, but I still think he's similarly famous to Dee & Lownsbrough, if only because of his name and his uncanny ability to find tournaments where it's relatively less difficult to gain a point.

It does amaze me the places some of these players will go to in the hunt for points - they must have some great stories to tell about their travels.

Where is Mozart, he has missed some easy one pointer futures so far this season
:(

I'm a bit in the middle. I admire these guys for putting themselves through the drama and humilation, but they appear to have goals. However, it is annoying that these must be lads from priveledged backgrounds and have the money to go round the world to play tennis. If only I had the money I probably would, so maybe its jealousy.

Gazz....I'd try to get into events in my backyard or if I was on vacation in Florida and there was a 15K there, but I am not sure you can buy WCs in the States (although money does wonders here too). I think I'd try to get in via qualifying so at least I had a chance to win a match or two.

Dee & partner took 6 games off the no. 2 seeds in R1 of the doubles - not bad!

Whether they had been bought or not is another question, but there have been plenty of dodgy wild cards in the US to people who in no way deserve them. I can remember Trent Aaron getting one in some Challenger and losing to Mankad and Baker beating some unranked Argentinian guy at the Challenger in Naples, Florida.
