Week 10 Futures - Spain F9 ($10k) - Badalona
(Preview)
Another huge qualifying draw in Spain, but apart from the Wardinator (who may have an SE or be having a well-earned rest next week), where have all the Brits gone? (*) QR1: James Allemby UNR v Jon Polanec (SLO) UNR (*) No Brits on the main draw acceptance list either, and the dream team both missed the qua...

Davis Cup Day One - Drews Blog

Davis Cup Day one - Press Blog - Drew Brown 10am on Day One Fairly quiet press centre so far.....the hum of key strokes is only broken by the 'crack' of the press marquee floor as the even the lightest of jurnos enters. However the loudest sound comes from Mr Flatmans booming laugh ! Still there is genuine...

Davis Cup - Chris Eaton vs. Sergiy Stakhovksy
(
1 2 3 4
)
(Preview)
So the second tie.... and with us being 1-0 down, it becomes a must win match. Eaton blew three match points against him the last time they met, so have a chance against him, but Stakhovsky is still the big favourite to win the match.

Week 9 Futures - Spain F8 ($10k) - Sabadell
(
1 2

(Preview)
One of those horrendous Friday start, four rounds of qualifying on clay affairs, and to make it worse the main draw is so strong that even Matt Illingworth has to play in qualifying this week. All the Brits have avoided section 1, where the top Q seed in a ringer WC ranked 254, but look who Matt's drawn in...

As I mentioned on the DC thread, GB's oldest currently world-ranked player has started posting on AM.com. I asked him if he'd mind writing a bit about his experiences and how he gets into qualifying for some of the big tournaments and his reply is fascinating - well I think so anyway. Picking up someone...
