Even though Britain doesn't get a new event in this period, the changes to the calendar certainly helps us.

The Heilbronn event was already there, the one is Durban is new.

And I don't think that the field in Bergamo will be much stronger than last year. He will have a good chance of defending 60 with a higher number of points on offer.

The Futures calendar for the first three months is out.

You can navigate your way to the calendar from here: http://www.itftennis.com/mens/tournaments/index.asp

There is great news for you if you live in North East England. Two Futures in Sunderland!

Seven Futures in the first three months. Last year we had five Futures and a Sat.

There is a Futures in my city this time!

There is another bit of good news. The first Futures of the year will be played in week 2 instead of week 1 like last time.

That means that quite a few of our players could go for the two Futures in India at the end of 2006 and ATP Madras qualies, without missing out on a British Futures.

The ITF site gives the venues, but it has the Futures till March only.

22 isn't good enough.

We need at least 25 of them. Mexico has 19!!

Challenger calendar upto April is out :

Linky.

Please read the note at the top, which mentions that 25K+Hs will be replaced by 35K+Hs in 2008. Good move, as more money is always nice.

There are no Challengers in week 5. So we can have a few British players in Zagreb qualies.
There are two 15K+Hs that week, in France and in Germany, and both are on indoors! The Winner gets 24 points and the runner up gets 16, so the players may head for either of those.

The tournament directors at Surbiton must be cursing the fact they can't get away with 25k anymore!!!

Salmon · Tennis legend

Surbiton is 50K actually. They only 50K that we have.

It should be 125K at the very least.

the difference with surbs and the other uk challenegrs is they are 25k +h, whereas surbs is a 50k, they both give the same points, surbs gives more money to the players but they have to pay for their own hosipailty etc.

Which is fine for those who win a few rounds but for those that dont {

I guess the assumption is that people are already in town for Queens/Wimbledon, and so won't be that interested in getting a hotel room for the Surbiton week?
