New UK Challenger

Count Zero · Tennis legend

yeah I saw this, not too far from London so I may head up there with Alex.

a few of the end of season challenger, inc this one, are listed as IS, I'm not sure if this is a mistake as i though all the carpet events where ruled out, save Belgrade which got an exemption, as the ATP are trying to do away with the super quick surfaces. apparently that's why there is no kolding either.

That's great - only about 15 mins from me. Perhaps I should set up a B & B for a week!

Is this actually a new Challenger for us or just a venue swap? I always think we don't have enough Challenger events in this country, particularly when you look and see the never ending sweep of Italian and Spanish clay court Challenger events!

its a swap, from Jersey last year.

Well, moving in the right direction, though the Scottish border is still a very long way off.

When exactly is this? When I looked on the ATP site I could only see Challengers till the end of October. It's bound to be in the first half of the month as I realise that I shall be away then. Fingers crossed I'm wrong.

Count Zero · Tennis legend

its from the 8th Nov.

if you go to the challenger page, on the right hand side there are the calender links and you need to 2010 pdf one

Thanks for that. Should be back for the end of the week at least but not sure yet about the beginning.
