Having that 'Friday feeling' in singles this week are :-

 

 

We began with seven in our first Grand Slam of 2026 - Arthur our qualifier, Jacob and

Cam for the Men and Katie, Fran, Sonay and Emma for the Women. Three made it through

to the second round our seeds (Cam and Emma) and Arthur who was brilliant in beating

the seeded Cobolli. Then Arthur and Emma lost in straight sets but Cam won.

You seem to have overlooked Julian & Lloyd (1), Luke & Jan Zielinski, Marcus Willis & Jakub Paul, Neal & Christian Harrison (6) & Henry & Harri Heliövaara (2) in the men's doubles (all through to the last 32), not to mention Luke & Gabriela Dabrowski, Lloyd & Tereza Mihaliková (8), Julian & Demi Schuurs (3), Olivia & Henry (7) & Neal & Desirae in the mixed (Julian & Schuurs being through to the last 16), with Olivia & Tereza Mihaliková (12) still alive in the women's doubles.

 No I have not - as per request from Brendan F months ago- this thread is set up to name those who made the latter stages of tournaments. The 

complaint then was that there were too many names on the list if I listed the names of players in two weekly tournaments. So I list them for myself 

for next week but do not show them following the complaint. I also write a synopsis of the singles . I usually leave the doubles although sometimes

the doubles have barely started.

      I'm surprised that you have only just noticed.

Big drum roll - to borrow from CD - we have started 2026 well with Hannah Klugman reaching no 1

status in the Junior ranking last week, emulating Laura Robson who also managed this feat, and Neal Skupski

who is WR1 (again) in the doubles after winning the doubles title in Australia with his new partner Christian.

A welcome return to Jack Draper who is in the GB team facing Norway in the

Davis Cup Qualifier Round 1. Both Jack and Cam won today in Oslo.

Good luck to all

Alastair and Felix are through to Friday's Pune Challenger QF and I make it that 11 guys ( one all Brit match ) have the Thursday feeling for L16 singles ITF matches today.

 6 of the 11 won, making 8 men in total through to QF. Also 4 women, so 12 singles quarter finalists in total. Looks a pretty decent week overall so far with no domestic tournaments.

9 doubles finalists with the Saturday feeling. Let's be having some titles from that lot.

5 singles semi finalists still in plus Millen and Emile pottering about in Spain (L16).

Not bad, 4 of the 9 won doubles titles.

Toby has a Challenger 50 singles title, and Anton and Emile have M15 singles finals to come.
