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.
