Colin was cross with Jamie last week as he felt that Jamie let the team down, kept going for outragous winners and missing.

Colin beat Matt Smith 6-7, 6-0, 6-2 yesterday:

In the challengers that come here, the LTA don't give the women ball girls/boys. Only the men are deemed important enough to be provided with them. So in answer to your question no I haven't.

Well, here's the thing. I got training, but I only get asked every tournament because I play at that club for there team, and they ask all the 14-16 year olds from the club to me ball girls/boys. I got my training for free, and it doesn't cost. But I'm not sure about other places. I only know for wimbledon and queens they ask the local school kids and train them beforehand.

It's just a mini tournament, were players usually ranked 100-200 in the world play to try and get up in the rankings, in general anyways. I only know about the challengers at my centre, and people are allowed to watch, it depends on the location I pressume.
