Let the grass court season begin!

Looking forward to the ATP 42,500 Euro Challenger on the grass at Nottingham already

More news shortly!

Game on!!

The battle has begun for the 4 MD berths open to quaifiers with wins in Q1 for Brits Burnham Arlidge (who beat the top qseed in Q1 ) and Alex Ward who play each other in Q2; Joshua Milton and Chris Eaton who both face qseeds in Q2; Dan Evans and Marcus Willis (who beat 5th qseed in Q1 ) and who meet in Q2; David Rice and Scott Sears.

Good luck everybody!

Good luck, guys!

Only home Direct Acceptance into the Main Draw is GB #2 Alex Bogdaovic who has been given a tough opener against 2nd seed and world #89 Rajeev Ram (USA)

Other home MD entries are wild cards (plus hopefully some qualifiers!); the home WCs are Alex Slabinsky, James Ward and Josh Goodall. James and Josh meet in R1

Boggo only went and won!

Superb scalp for GB #2 in round 1 today taking down 2nd seed and world #89 Rajeev Ram (USA) 6-7(4) 6-4 7-5

He's joined in round 2 by Alex Ward who followed up winning through qualifying by beating Ryler Deheart (USA) 7-5 2-6 7-5 ; and James Ward who won the Battle of the Brits against Josh Goodall 6-4 6-4

Good luck you 3 guys in round 2!

Wow, Alex Ward, brilliant result!

It was after the Lord Mayor's Show for Boggo, sadly, unable to repeat his first round heroics in round two against Go Soeda of Japan (no slouch at world #137) going down 4-6 in the third

But for 20 year old Alexander Ward today it was the Lord Mayor's Show itself! The GB #17 will have a thumping new career high ranking on Monday after beating 4th seed Taylor Dent (USA) ranked #102 by the slightly bizarre scoreline of 7-5 0-6 7-6(8). Wonderful, Alex!

James Ward was unable to join his namesake in the QFs going down 6-3 6-3 to Ryan Harrison (USA).

Next up for Alex is Andre Begemann (GER) currently on a career high ranking of world #189 against Alex's 613 currently and CH of 599...

In the dubs there's still 7 Brit Guys in the mix after round 1: top seeds Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski had to go to the wire, taking the Match Tie-Breaker 12-10 whilst 4th seeds Jamie Delgado and Josh Goodall had a somewhat easier passage (walkover!); in the bottom half of the draw British wild cards Chris Eaton and Dom Inglot scalped the 3rd seeds 3&3 and next up they face fellow Brit Jonny Marray who this week is teamed with Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria. Good luck, Guys!

Go, Flemski!

Alex Ward's excellent run in the singles came to an end 3-6 3-6 in the QFs against Ryan Harrison (USA) ranked 267; great week for Alex which should see him scalp his previous CH ranking on Monday by about 80

So, fingers crossed for a title in the dubs then!

GB #1 pair and top seeds here this week, Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski, have taken their allotted place in the final where they'll meet the #2 seeds from the USA, Eric Butorac and Scott Lipsky. Good luck, Guys!

Flemski had to face 4th seeded fellow Brits Jamie Delgado and Josh Goodall in the semis with the outcome following the form book 6-3 6-3 whilst in the other semi another British pairing, wild cards Chris Eaton and Dom Inglot, were shaded 6-4 7-6(3).

Flemski lift the title!

Grand finale to a terrific week for Brits in Nottingham with Colin Fleming and Ken Skupski justifying their top billing to lift the doubles title here by beating the second seeds in the final today 6-4 7-6(3)

Never in doubt!

Queens Club next then! Scene of Flemski's win over the Bryan twins last year...
