Only one entry so far, but it's notable for a pic of him trying on his father's glasses and looking about 80 (!) and for the revelation that the Philipp Davydenko who lost in QR1 at Portschach is his 15-year-old nephew and sometime hitting partner. http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/blog/davydenko.a...

World number one Justine Henin is set to announce her retirement from tennis, according to Belgian media reports. Newspapers claim the 25-year-old, who has withdrawn from this week's Italian Open, citing fatigue, will make the announcement at 1400 BST on Wednesday. This little 'dynamo' will be m...

Becomes only the tenth 15 year old to win a Tour main draw match in the history of tennis. The last person to do this was Nadal when he beat Ramon Delgado in Mallorca in 2002. And a hell of a win this is, too. He has beaten Pablo Cuevas in straight sets, who's a fine player on slow surfaces. He happen...

Think we need a new thread for this..... the rules: Each week all the participants make one prediction: Which player will get through the most ATP tournament rounds, how many, AND who they go out to( or beat in the final). For example Tim , 2 rounds, Roddick or Andy, 3 rounds, Nadal or Boggo , wins , beatin...

Just watched the last set and a bit of Tsonga beating Youzhny in straights. 7-5 6-0 7-6(6) He is just so talented and a joy to watch. Reminds me of Murray in 05/06 He now plays Nadal and what a match it will be. So beating Murray was no big fluke...he has beaten Gasguet and now Youzhny. What bet he makes the fi...

As a result of a spate of freak withdrawals, it has been decided to cancel the 2008 Australian Open. A woeful series of events led to the entire field being ravaged to the point where there was a distinct possibility that Oscar Hernandez or even Alex Bogdanovic might have won the title. Reason prevaile...
