The new table is posted here (on Britishtennis.net) Tim's defending a round 2 win, but now that Monfils has overtaken him in Sunrise, he doesn't drop any further, staying at 47. Also dropping are: Gicquel and Ginepri ahead, and Massu, Volandri, Grosjean, Lapentti, Koubek and Serra behin...

Benneteau, Monfils, Grosjean and Kohlschreiber drop places behind him. Tim can overtake everyone up to Hewitt, at 19, ahe...

Tim Henman faces his old nemisis Guillermo Canas in rd1 of the Miami masters series event tonight. Henman will be looking to improve his rather disappointing record against the Argentine who's won their last 5 encounters. Canas hasn't lost to Henman since 1998. Many of those matches have b...

Worth a read: Goldstein: Nonetheless, his return to glory has been met with a fair amount of skepticism by his colleagues for several reasons. First and foremost, he has already tes...

The match which was on my minds for the last fourteen months is finally here.

I think that Del Potro can take this. This is the sort of surface he thrives upon and he is in the form of his life. -- Edited by The Panda Bear at 09:45, 2007-03-27

Nole seems to of had some serious luck recently with his draws but generally has he been lucky with getting to the top10 ?

Can someone put a poll on this? Who would win? Also, can I just point out that there has been a coming together of collective great minds (me and Arka) and we think this would be an AMAZING exhibition match. It can and MUST happen. Petition, lobby or harass the ATP. LETS GET IT ON.
