Looks like a repeat of last week: Jonny Marray in the MD & the usual three suspects (Colin Fleming, Josh Milton & David Rice) in the qualies.

The masters of the British Tour are on (good to see Fitzy there). Its not the strongest line up though, only one or two ranked players ever compete in most events during the year. Yet that is how the LTA describe it, "an important stepping stone between juniors and senior ranking events". ...

Most Improved Male Player...by Johnnylad / Drew James Ward has navigated one of the difficult barriers of men's professional tennis.

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...
