Hope it's in the actual paper and not just on the website?

No idea about that, I don't live in that area. I picked up the link from Twitter as I follow Fitzy.

hi guys, yes it was a hard copy not just online, i got myself a few and have created a press book along with a few other things.
As you all know i keep myself busy thats for sure off court trying to source sponsorship. So always have a few things in the pipeline, just waiting for one of them to come off. We shall see.

wont your ranking be high enough to get directly in Queens qualies?

Well done for getting that article written. Hopefully there will be a company out there that decides it would be good to sponsor a local boy!

Hopefully it will be high enough for Fitzy to get straight in but the Queen's qualifying cut has been incredibly variable over the last few years, so it's anyone's guess what it will be this year:

2011: 539
2010: unranked
2009: 209
2008: 268
2007: 1067

which year did the points and draw sizes change? as we've often speculated Halle probably offers better value than queens points wise.
