Hope Chaundry wins today, and bags himself a ranking point, he deserves something for his wins over George Morgan and Smethurst in qualies. I'm hoping for a Skupski win too.
Shame Marsalek and Golding got rubbish draws, wanted them to to well. They are in a horrible quarter with Bhambri, Cox, Mecir & Bossel.
I'm so disappointed in you, Ratty. You've let us down, you've let yourself down...
lol i thought it was Alcaide but strangely just assumed bbc must be right...how stupid of me!
Knight: never assume the BBC's got it right, especially when it comes to foreign names. It even thinks, I kid you not (admittedly temporarily on News 24), that Wimbledon is spelt W-i-m-b-e-l-d-o-n...

very intresting article on coxy, you have to wonder how far he can go this week when he was considering pulling out last week due to exhaustion! also fascinating to hear he saved two match points and came back from 4-0 in the tie break against mcgee.
Very interesting article. We'd commented on Dan losing a few first sets but looks as if he pulled himself out of bigger holes than we realised. With all that, it is perhaps a surprise that he's turned up in Chiswick. Hope he had a good rest on Sunday & Monday
I thought our Lincolnshire friends had maybe misinterpreted Dan's tennis speak of "I shoulkd be back into the 500's by next week" in saying "he hopes his two recent wins should bring him into the top 500 once again when the rankings are updated next week". But it does indeed look as if we will be up to about 490. Into the 400's Really big jump back up in two weeks.
