Why on earth is James playing a hard court Futures event in Asia this week instead of Sarasota (an event he has actually WON in the past), I wonder?
Even more bizarre when you consider that he has chosen a clay court Challenger this week the week before he's about to play DC on a hard court. (though I guess that might be because he's a DA in Colombia and would have been on the edge in Guadeloupe)

I will be in Kaoshiung, walking distance of the tennis centre, the week before (when no Brit is playing in the F1) Would have been great to walk down and lend some British support........plus fire a match report back for here. I miss out by a couple of days.....sods law!

Because there is a $125K+H challenger there the week after?
Does any one know the formula they use to seperate Cabal/Schwank, Fletchins and Butorac/Soares for entry when their ranking is the same?
Will the boys automatically get one of the 6 on site spots or could singles ringers spoil it for them?
