Borana Coric looking to follow up for the Teens, after Zverev's performance.

It's nice there are at least some interesting stories in this dead time.

CLL Dodge · 26/07/14 - 13:18

Last 2 seeds make the Baku final. Svitolina vs Jovanovski it will be.

CLL Dodge · 26/07/14 - 15:27

Hev has won her third WTA doubles title.

Hopefully she can get another WTA singles title this year too.

*Sparkle* · 27/07/14 - 09:32

Great news. It doesn't give her ranking points (for singles), but the confidence and feeling of winning will be valuable.

Well done Hev, now take that confidence into the singles.

Grecomania · 27/07/14 - 10:53

Good on Hev, will keep her spirits up after a unlucky draw really playing an in-form player.

Rae and Smith won their Challenger Event, noy big in itself but keeps up the momentum from the last Tournament. Hev can't play all the matches in Fed Cup, so hopefully these two can become a regular partnership.

Svitolina wins in Baku, still a teenager, but just seems to do little in bigger Tournaments, plenty of time though.

The WTA kicks back into gear tomorrow, really looking forward to see how Muguruza will fare over the Summer. It's unfortunate that she faces Cibulkova in the first round of Stanford.

CLL Dodge · 27/07/14 - 16:20

Hev plays Flipkens in Washington.

Emily Webley-Smith has a chance to qualify later today against the unfortunately named Tornado Alicia Black (whose sister is called, yes, Hurricane).

Irishguy123 · 27/07/14 - 16:33

Also, Laura Robson is obsessed with cats recently.

dazc · 27/07/14 - 23:45

what has gotten into goffin 3 challenger title in row now play well on ATP tour and well done to isner could do well in the masters tournaments

Grecomania · 28/07/14 - 23:45

16 y-o Naomi Osaka beats Sam Stosur after being a break down in the 3rd, aved a MP. Pretty impressive.

Apparently she has a massive serve. Beat a couple of decent player in Qualifying too.

I think Andy is epitomising "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" during his Facebook chat recently.

Alison Milton Hi andy are you still working with aimlee? Xx

Andy Murray who is that?

Tracey Mccabe Are you going to stick with you're current coaching staff or maybe time for a change? X

That's brilliant! I love Andy's deadpan humour.

How do you eat your strawberries?

Irishguy123 · 29/07/14 - 13:53

Some of those Andy Murray responses had me in stitches.

Q: name one thing that is a MUST to keep in your tennis bag before a tennis match?

A: tennis rackets

daver34 · 29/07/14 - 23:36

Lisicki v Ivanovic on BT sports 2 now.

detroitcity · 30/07/14 - 00:08

Sabine's just fired down a 131mph serve.

Fastest ever by a woman.

Good match so far. Looks like Lisicki's about to lose the first set

Lisa.B · 30/07/14 - 00:31

Here's a video of Sabine's record serve.

And Ana ran away with the 2nd set as well.

40 match wins for Ana this year so far. Best on the WTA tour.

In Washington Heather lost a final set tiebreak against Flipkens.

CGG_12 · 30/07/14 - 09:52

That is something else by lisicki!!

Enough to ace most top mens players!

Hey there!
