Winter training - Ross Hutchins
(Preview)
Some of you may already be aware, but Ross is taking the off-season very seriously - he's following much the same training schedule as Muzza in Miami, see e.g. http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/466 http://www.andymurray.com/news/article/467 http://www.andymurray.com/news/arti...

Week 50 - Futures F4 ($10,000) - Santo Domingo, Dom. Rep (hard)
(

(Preview)
Jamie Baker would appear to be sticking to his guns here. No main draw on the ATP site yet, but going by the ITF entry list (last modified yesterday), he could be the 7th seed. Qualies draw is on the ATP site & there are currently four Brits in it: Q1: Joe Cooper UNR vs John Valente (USA) UNR Q1: (q4...

2009 AO qualifying - who might make it in
(Preview)
The subject of who might get into AO qualifying has been brought up on three different threads so far, so I think it makes sense to create a dedicated thread for it so that posts on the subject can more easily be found. First a recap, with some of the numbers updated ... As far as I can tell, the qualifying c...

Apologies if this was already posted but I couldn't see it and have only just spotted this disconcerting news from The Times online last month.

It was a great shame that Jamie B was unable to reach the final to give himself a chance of taking his first title for a good few months in Santo Domingo earlier today, but it looks as though he's staying in the Dominican Republic for another week: he's on the entry list for next week's tournament, though...

Week 48 - Futures F2 (15K) - Fujairah, UAE
(

)
(Preview)
Wardy & Eaton are likely to be seeded in the main draw here and I think Jonny Kinsella has probably scraped a DA too - he was 1st Alt at the freeze deadline, which would usually end up meaning a main draw place and the 4th Alt is the top seed in qualifying of those who were on the Alt list in the first place....
