Have to agree - think I'd play Johanna Konta before him and I'd never though I'd ever say that - even in jest! Is there anything in the rules saying you have to play men?!

Didn't think my eyes were deceiving me. Hawkeye on duty in Orleans. Ken just confirmed that it is the only Challenger to use Hawkeye.

as far as I remember James has a pattern where he goes up in rankings then falls back and then starts rising again eventually going higher than before. and so on. so as far as his form is concerned maybe nothing to worry about. 

 As always I am awestruck by humans' ability to find signals in the noise, but I am struggling to spot this supposed pattern. Possibly because there isn't one? smile

The Skupskis have won their SF after taking the second set in a TB

That'll be ( yet ) another GB finalist for this week.

With all the singles excitement today, I completely forgot about this.

Great to see the guys making another final. After a tough 1st 6 months of the year, they have been on fire since the grass court season.
