Draw - the tournament fact sheet on steveg says the draw is on Sunday. (here), but elsewhere I have seen it stated as being Saturday. So, look on Saturday, and if it doesn't happen it will be on Sunday!

we could get 4 brits in the main draw!!! When did that last happen in a non-grand slam tournament (not including Queens)? Jamie Murray plays Local wild card Pitichart CHOKCHAIJAROEN and could then play either 4th seed sverev or israels andy ram

Great news for Jamie....could he be here just for the singles...going to look at the doubles draw closely to see if he is here to play doubles !

Andy Murray's website said they are going to play doubles together here.

I posted about this problem somewhere else. I originally said Sunday (from the tournament factsheet on steveg), then saw many people saying Saturday. However it is now long past 2pm Bangkok time and the draw still does not seem to be available - so I reckon it will be Sunday!

Andy and Jamie play Dancevic and Ginepri in the first round. They would then have a match up against second seeds kohlman and waske or Safin or Lopez. The first match is definitely winnable but the second one would be tough

Zverev defeated Jamie Murray 7-6(5) 6-1

and what an awful draw

Count Zero · Tennis legend

surely alex will feel he has a chance vs wang? and i'm hopeing the incentive of a match vs andy or tim would be a boost for him too.

cant see tim reversing the trend vs andy though, unless andy can't find his form quickly on the fast courts, but we all know he did alright last year :)
