Week 28 - Futures F1 (15k) - Damascus, Syria
(Preview)
A huge chance for Myles to pick up more points in a week than he has managed to amass in the first six months of the year as a whole: L32: (8) Myles Blake WR 779 v Sunday Emmanuel (NGR) WR 1314 - the winner to play the winner of a match between two unranked qualifiers for a place in the QFs.

Eaton's New Hitting Partner
(Preview)
Anyone see on BBC that Chris Eaton has found a new hitting partner in.........Roger Federer! Unbelievable really to think of this less than a month ago that Eaton would be warming up with the world number 1. Just shows his meteoric rise to public knowledge. This can only be a good thing for Chris
