I sat through this 48 minute long briefing along with the main press and took 7 pages of notes. suffice to say I dont have time today to transcibe them but I will leave you with a couple of questions ? Which 36 GB men and women would you give central 'Team Aegon' contracts to ? That includes some juniors as we...

Where the Brits get their points

John Lloyd: In or Out
(

(Preview)
In the wake of our defeat to the Ukraine i thought i just run a quick poll to see how we here feel about JL's tenure as the man in charge of DC team. He started impressivly with a few wins, but we have now lost 3 ties in a row. Ok we cant say much about the Argentina tie really, but the other 2 were home ties, so we h...

BT at the DC : Dead Sunday
(

I hate 'Dead Sunday'. At least last year at wimbledon it went down to the last match. Colin hurt his back during set 2 yesterday and is due to play at Tipton this week coming so wont be playing today. Lloyd confirmed that Josh & Chris will be playing today. Cannot see Stak playing so the two will be from...

Davis Cup Day Two - Drews Blog
(Preview)
Just read J Overends blog on the BBC. Agree with some of it but came to the line "There is more stability in a weeble" (Referring to the GB mens game) Now he has just become a father for the second time and perhaps been watching too much cbeebies or something but thats an awful line !

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
(

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...

What on earth is Donald Young WR 130 doing playing qualifying for a 15K Future?!
