Going by a post by Henry on his Instagram I think they might have split.

Hell of a ride with this team. The last two pics say it all!

Thanks everyone for your support throughout this year's US

Open. There are far too many of you to mention individually but you know who you are

Looking forward to a new chapter

Thats a shame - Julian playing with Galloway moving forwards? Judging by Henrys post, I wonder if it was Julians move?

Maybe Henry isnt fully over his injuries. Also they have a lot of points to defend from their ridiculous run at the end of last year. Might be easier to face it with different partners as then the pressure of both losing lots of points isnt on?

I don't really see that one. Both are going to lose the points whatever. It's going to be the points they win that matter and surely they would be more confident with familiar succesful partners even if yes if they fail as a pair it won't be good. I don't see splitting the risk as any sort of good tactic ( well unless they both get really very good partners! )

Pity if they have split ( would seem a wee bit strange on the surface ). But all the best to both of them.

Draper out of St Tropez with yet another injury i think . Might just be precaution.

Isnt he in the Davis cup team? Maybe just staying in England after to do some training Rather than rushing off to a tournament.

I guess she gave up on Scotland (and Ben's) chances after the defeat on Sunday.

Lambda · Challenger level

Maia and Harriet in Ghangzhou qualifying. Maia is drawn against D. Papamichail who Naiktha played last week. Harriet plays a low ranked WC.

I read a tweet that the WTA 1000 in Guadalajara next week has a very weak draw with hardly any top ranked players entered. Anyone seen the draw list? Dont presume any Brits are near it in singles or doubles?
