Tim needs one withdrawal to get in main draw. Probably Wawrinka won't play but he is on list. Does anybody know more about it?

Andujar makes ATP quarter-final
(Preview)
He's outside the top 200 and is in the Barca quarters ! I can just imagine the dancing on the streets of Calcutta Andujar did get really jammy tho, he had hapless wc Salva-Vidal in rd1 and then Ferrero retired at 1-2 in rd2....wish Morgan Phillips could have had that draw !

Wimby Wild card
(Preview)
I'm confused. I thought I heard on the radio that the LTA were discontinuing the wild card scheme and relying on players rankings. I am often wrong about things and a cursory glance hasn't shown any comments on this. Am I hearing voices again, or have I just failed to find the right thread.......

Do Federer's recent defeats add credence to Murray's victory?
(Preview)
If you remember, everyone was saying that Murray's victory over Federer was purely because Federer played so awful and people were trying to take credit away from Andy. In many ways, it was disappointing to see the Fed lose to Canas because it meant Andy wasn't the only person other than Rafa to have be...
