spud · Challenger qualifying

Eaton and Bloomfield have very winnable 1st rounds

Rice and Morgan also have a good chance

Difficult for the rest

Thought Eaton & Corrie might pair up for doubles qualies.

indiana · Tennis legend

Rice and Thornley not getting doubles MD WCs remains ridiculous on all logic I can see disbelief Established all Brit pairing both within the top 200.

I'm all for it. My husband is a big F1 fan, so again this year to see the men's final I shall either have to watch it on the small tv upstairs or on the computer - with an at the moment not very reliable internet connection.

If you have a tennis centre near you, they might have an event there? (Or at least a TV), the one near me does.
