The first 500 event, so a pretty strong list.

[Josh]

Yeah, no lower ranked players he can under-estimate and lose to.

[Sir Panda]

Not a single American scheduled to play in the draw. Must be one of the first times that has ever happened in ATP history.

Good observation, US tennis has gone down the pan, I was expecting lots from Donald Young, seems he was just hype.

[Torin]

Decent field. I'd back Andy to at least make the final though.

4 500s count for ranking purposes and I expect Andy to only enter 5 or 6 of them, so a good showing here is important. Not to mention he needs to get his confidence back after a relatively early exit this week.

At the moment the TV coverage I have discovered from Sky Sports website begins on the Thursday of the tourney. Has anyone found out anything else re broadcasting?  

[Elly]

Really wish I had some cash to spare - this would be a great tournie to travel too - KLM fly from Newcastle so plenty of cheap flights...  I really want to take my eldest to a tournie this year.

Slap it on the plastic, Charlie!  

[Elly]

You're a bad influence...  Even my plastic bounces these days

Rubberplastic tastic!  We're all doomed in the credit crunch anyway....  

[Elly]

Yep - my only hope is that the price of oil might go back up...  Oops Did I say that out load?
