Wrexham are doing their version of the 1 point Slam on the day before the main draw starts. It'll be broadcast on iPlayer and the winner will receive £1,000 and a WC to the Australian Open Million dollar 1 point slam with an all-expenses paid trip to Melbourne.

 I think that is great, a bit of fun, publicity and a lovely opportunity for someone to get that all expenses paid trip down under! And then punt for a million! And why not - a local tennis coach won it last year (Jordan Smith) - lovely!

 The AO one point slam is a mixed thing isn't it? As you say, I wonder if the Wrexham one is, hopefully it will be. 

I am trying to remember the rules now - I think I was correct that the pro player only gets one service if they get to serve, whereas an amateur would get two serves? I am fuzzy so may be mistaken!

I would guess the pros will come from the ITF field. But I see no reason why the amateurs shouldn't be mixed.

 Wolf, you don't expect me actually read the article as well? I have people who I pay to do that for me, I wouldn't lower myself to reading any detail.

JK, see that now, thanks.
