(Preview)
Henman's match against Hernych is first up on the stadium court tonight. Play due to begin at 10am local time so that is 6pm here? Conditions here really suit Tim's game so he should do pretty well here...hopefully the early start and the coolish conditions dont hamper Tims game. -- Edited by...

Injury fails to suppress Henman appetite
(Preview)
A succulent steak at LG’s the previous night in the company of Andy Murray, Brad Gilbert and Paul Annacone among others, and two poached eggs on wheat bread on the veranda yesterday morning — it is clear that Tim Henman’s appetite has been restored. Now to take a bite out of what is left of his tennis care...

RIP Bill Threlfall
(Preview)
Sad news that Bill Threlfall has died at the age of 81. I was as guilty as most for taking the mick out of his crazy comments, but he was a good guy who clearly loved the game. Didn't realise he was in his 80s, good on him for working on so late. The following is from the LTA site: BBC and Sky Sports tennis co...
