Kyle lost in the first round in three sets to Seppi at Monte Carlo, possibly still recovering from Marrakech final on Sunday

Andy will probably drop into the 50's, he could be unseeded at Wimbledon as will Serena.

Won't Andy be on a PR though so will probably seed him cos been out injured, where as cos Serena wasn't she not on a PR, theres been a big argument about this for a while saying any female tennis player who has a baby should be entitled to have a PR

Tie balanced as expected. Time for Jo to get back her form of a year ago to beat Naomi tomorrow.

 

They should both have protected ranking to be honest.

 

 

Congratulations to Nishikori in reaching the Final. He doesn't normally play at Monte Carlo.

Dan lost his 1st round in Glasgow, took first set easily but unravelled through next

 

Heather falls to another loss as well, she hasn't won a match since January and hasn't won a set since Feb, lots of grass points to defend coming up

Talks of a possibility that Serena Williams could be made top seed for Wimbledon. What do you make of this?

 

Also news that the winner will receive £2.5 million for winning Wimbledon.

 

 

They said it was unlikely Serena would be #1 seeded at Wimbledon, I can see them maybe seeding her, Wimbledon do have their own way of seeding and going on past form on grass and history. I just want Serena to be back to her best and hopefully Murray as well as I think they both add a lot to the game and tour and it seems a little dull at the moment

Cameron Norrie could climb into the Top 100 for the first time after beating Robin Haase in the first found of the Estoril Open.

in live ranking updates he is 100 and I dont think anyone below him can over take him , he has automatic entry to French as well which is fab news.

 

nice to see James Ward back playing as well, always felt he had potential but injury never seemed to allow him to climb, always a good player in Davis Cup

Once again looking unlikely that Murray's comeback will be delayed.

 

 

Kyle Edmund has beaten Djokovic in three sets to reach the third round of the Madrid Open which will mean that Kyle will reach the world's Top 20. He plays Goffin next.

Serena Williams has announced that she has withdrawn from this month's Italian Open. Which has put doubts about whether she'll complete in the French Open.

 

 

Edmund's run in the Madrid Open came to a end with a defeat to Shaporalov who is best known for whacking the tennis ball at an umpires eye during the Davis Cup match last year against Great Britain.
