Week 18 - Futures F17 (10k) - Lleida, Spain
(Preview)
Another 10K in Spain with a 12layer qualifying draw starting on a Friday. Sadly, despite there being free spaces in the draw, it seems that Robert's media commitments have stopped him from being there. At least, I hope it's that and not because he feels like he needs to lie low for a bit after things go...

Richard Bloomfield 200, Josh Goodall 205, Jamie Baker 225, Martin Lee 225, Alan Mackin 245, Jonny Marray 265 - the challenger circuit is tough going for our players and I don't expect that to change in 2007; slo...

Week 17 - ATP Masters - Monte Carlo - Doubles

M & M back in tandem here and unseeded. Their first match is against the Polish pair, Frystenberg and Matkowski. Not an easy start. If they get past them 'Old Man' Bjorkman and Jamie's partner of this week, Kev, will be wating for them. I hope I'm wrong, but I see a potential banana skin here!

Interesting interview with Barry Flatman in The Sunday Times. Very welcome evidence of contrition on the lad's part. The LTA's "tough love" policy seems to have claimed another victim!
