After splitting with Alex Corretja last month, Murray has been working with Adidas player development coaches Darren Cahill and Sven Groeneveld. However Murray, 23,  still wants a full time coach.

Henman has previously ruled himself out of such a position, but admitted it may interest him in the future.

Murray is suffering from a severe lack in form, having lost his last four matches in straight sets.

Murray will look to appoint someone in the next few days, preferably a experienced coach who can work with him for 20-25 weeks a year.

The out-of-form Scot has suffered a terrible start to the season, and has decided to drop the former world number two who has advised him on an ad-hoc basis for three years.

“I’ve had a really good relationship with Alex over the past three years,” Murray said in a statement on his website (www.andymurray.com).

“I have learned so much from being around him and I want to thank him for his hard work, enthusiasm, dedication and support.

“He has been a great friend as well as a mentor to me and we’ve shared lots of success and good times both on and off the court.”

The Azzurri go into the encounter inspired by the 22-21 triumph over France in Rome, their first win in the competition this year, and make six changes going in to this match. Treviso’s Alberto Sgarbi replaces Gonzalo Garcia at centre while his club team-mate, Kris Burton, takes Luciano Orquera’s place at No.9 and Paul Derbyshire will earn his first Six Nations start in Scotland. Leicester prop, Martin Castrogiovanni is the only player in Italy’s first line that has kept his spot, with Leonardo Ghiraldini and Salvatore Perugini returning to the team. Quintin Geldenhuys will also start after being relegated to the replacements bench against France.

Italy are two points clear of Scotland after victory last week and the Scots hope to finish the tournament with some dignity after losing all five of their games so far. They haven’t ‘won’ the wooden spoon since 2007, finishing one place above Italy in the past three tournaments.

Andy Murray is not one of the names involved, though the Scot can still request a wild card as he did last year.

Barring injuries and late withdrawals, this will be the biggest line-up in recent years.

Tennis tickets, including Wimbledon, are available now.

Hamilton, who had been managed by his father Anthony since he was a child, has been looking for a new manager since last year.

“It was important I took my time to make this decision as it had to be right for my career and my long-term future,” said Hamilton, 26.

“I felt Simon and his team shared my ambitions for the long term.”

Ireland did win the Grand Slam as recently as 2009 though, and will prove stubborn opposition, but a feeling pervades that the Scots are a rapidly improving side.

Certainly they will be boosted by the fact that coach Andy Robinson has signed a new contract to remain in charge until the end of 2015.

The match is shaping up to be a fascinating contest.

Scotland v Ireland tickets are on sale now from £39.

Djokovic beat reigning champion Roger Federer in the other semi-final, setting up a mouth-watering tie on Sunday 30th January.

Djokovic, winner of the Australian Open in 2008, leads Murray 4-3 in head-to-head meetings. Andy Murray will be looking to win his first major tournament after reaching two previous finals, the Australian Open in 2008 and 2010.

Andy Murray vs Novak Djokovic tickets are on sale now.

Australian Open tickets are on sale now, for any day of the first major tennis competition this year. Tickets for sessions at either the Rod Laver Arena, or Hisense Arena are both available.

British hopeful Andy Murray has been dealt a blow for the Australian Open 2011 by being seeded 5th, due to Robin Soderling’s win at the Brisbane Open this week.

The number one seed defeat the British number one on three sets in a match that saw both Andy Murray and Rafael Nadal on top form. Rafael Nadal clinched the first set in a dramatic tie-break, but Murray fought back to win the second set 6-3. The final set saw both Murray and Nadal playing some of the best tennis of they have played this season.

The third set went down to a tie-break, but Andy Murray was not able to match the pace and power of Rafa. The second of this evening’s semi-finals sees the world number two, Roger Federer, take on Novak Djokovic. The winner will take on Rafael Nadal at the O2 Arena tomorrow afternoon. Tennis fans will be hoping to see the top two seeds go head-to-head once again as they compete for the most prestigious title in tennis outside the four Grand Slams. However, Novak Djokovic has been in good form of late and will be determined to secure his place in the final.

Tixdaq can confirm ATP World Tour Finals tickets are still available for tomorrow’s final. Tickets to see Rafael Nadal take on Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic are on sale from £95. Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets are available to buy online.

Ticket prices start at around £49, but fans will have to be quick, as there are less than 50 remaining on the market.

Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets are available to buy online for all remaining matches.

Britain’s number one is in Group B alongside Roger Federer and David Ferrer, and with such top players any two of those four could progress.

Murray v Soderling tickets are on sale from £30, despite a face value cost of £61.

British number one Andy Murray has been placed in Group B alongside Federer, Soderling and Ferrer, while Group A consists of Nadal, Djokovic, Berdych and Roddick.

Two matches take place each day, with the singles match in the afternoon session beginning after 2pm, and after 8pm in the evening session. Players for the first matches have been announced, while the rest of the line-up will be added gradually as the competition progresses.

Afternoon: Novak Djokovic vs Tomas Berdych

Evening: Rafael Nadal vs Andy Roddick

Of course, Brian Dabul of Argentina was never going to be the most challenging of opponents, but the Swiss maestro’s near capitulation to Colombian ace Alejandro Falla at Wimbledon in July will have prevented complacency, and he was in fine form as he defeated Dabul 6-1 6-4 6-2, which included a wonderful through-the-legs winner in the third set.

The man who beat Federer in the French Open at Roland Garros had an enormous fright yesterday. Robin Soderling needed five sets to beat Austrian qualifier Andreas Haider-Maurer, while Jurgen Melzer and Gael Monfils also required their matches to go the full length to progress.

With such exciting tennis on display on Day One of the US Open, ATP World Tour Finals tickets are rising in demand. With his win yesterday, Roger Federer has confirmed his place at the O2 Arena in London this November alongside Rafael Nadal, while the likes of Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are expected to join them. Last year’s winner Nikolay Davydenko is considered by many a dark hope for the year’s final Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows, and the title would secure his participation, but Juan Martin Del Potro’s wrist injury continues to trouble him.

Still, an additional allocation of tickets has been released for the prestigious tournament at the O2 Arena in London – and most evenings can currently be attended for £20.

Nadal won the French Open title at Roland Garros for the fifth time, and claimed his second Wimbledon title, but the US Open remains the only Grand Slam he is yet to win.

Furthermore, he has yet to triumph at the ATP World Tour Finals, and will surely look to rectify that this year at the O2 Arena in London.

ATP World Tour Finals tickets are currently trading for £20 on official ticket exchange partner Viagogo for multiple dates. Given that the top eight ranked players in the world qualify, fans can expect to see the likes of Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and last year’s champion Nikolay Davydenko join Rafa Nadal at the O2 this November.

It all takes place in the incredible setting of London O2 Arena, and the evening performances under the floodlights and roof of the amphitheatre make for a tremendous atmosphere indeed.

Although thousands of Barclays ATP World Tour Finals tickets have been sold, there are still tickets available to each match day – including the final.

Furthermore, the matches will start slightly earlier in the evening this year so that tennis fans can be certain of catching public transport home.

After all, Federer has been in the last seven Wimbledon finals. This is his earliest loss in the competition since 2002, and he will now drop to number 3 in the ATP World Rankings – his lowest position since 2003.

However, Berdych played tremendously and fully deserved his victory. There is now a Czech player in the semi-finals of both the ladies’ and men’s draws, though Petra Kvitová has a tough match against defending champion Serena Williams. Still, she can take inspiration from her compatriot’s shock victory yesterday.

Elsewhere yesterday, Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both came from a set down to defeat Robin Soderling and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga respectively, and will now meet in a tantalising semi-final tomorrow. Berdych will play Serbian tennis ace Novak Djokovic in the other semi-final, after the world number 3 beat Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei in straight sets. Lu beat Andy Roddick in his previous match so could have been quite a banana skin for Djokovic, but the Serb played excellently to close out victory.

With neither Djokovic or Berdych having played in a Wimbledon final before, there will certainly be at least one new finalist at SW19 this year – and if Murray can overcome Nadal, there could be two. Naturally, excitement is building extremely fast as the competition reaches its latter stages, and many newspapers had pictures and headlines referring to Fred Perry this morning. Perry was of course the last British winner of the Wimbledon title back in 1936, but Murray seems wonderfully adept at ignoring the pressure heaped onto him by the UK media.

Last week there was a lot of coverage regarding the prices touts charged for Wimbledon tickets – especially if Murray was playing. A couple were widely reported to have bought tickets to last year’s semi-final between Murray and Roddick for £20,000. Given that currently debenture tickets are available from £1175, there are considerable savings to be made from the street prices.

Tsonga’s aggressive and powerful style enables him to hit winners from all over the court, and seems perfectly suited to grass. In most of Murray’s recent Grand Slam exits he has been blown off the court by powerful players hitting the ball with tremendous accuracy.

However, the Frenchman’s form can be erratic, and should Murray be able to frustrate him with his excellent variety of spin and pace, he could emerge victorious.

Still, Britain’s number one player is in exceptional form and will be confident, but could at least drop his first set of the tournament.

Rafael Nadal plays Robin Soderling on Court One today, and it could be a tense encounter. In 2007 the two played a lengthy match during which Soderling mocked Nadal’s habit of picking at his shorts, and the Spaniard won an ill-tempered affair. Last year, Soderling became the only player to have defeated Nadal at the French Open, and he is hitting the ball as well as anybody at Wimbledon.

It is an interesting match, and one that is extremely difficult to call. It is therefore clear why Wimbledon tickets are so sought after, and some Centre Court and Court One debenture tickets are yet to be sold.

The biggest shock yesterday was Andy Roddick’s loss to Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei (formerly Taiwan). The American made it to last year’s final but did not take control of the game with either his serve or his forehand – usually his two finest assets.

After struggling in their first few matches to capture their very best form, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal won convincingly yesterday, and now look close to being back to their best.

On the women’s side, Kim Clijsters won the battle of Belgium as she came from one set down to defeat compatriot Justine Henin. After playing a fairly atrocious first set, Clijsters upped her game admirably to seal a victory, and interestingly Henin has not beaten her fellow Belgian since the pair emerged from retirement. Despite Clijsters’ excellent form, Venus and Serena Williams remain the favourites for the title.

Finally, Andy Murray continues his excellent form at Wimbledon 2010. He is the only player on the men’s side not to have dropped a set so far in the tournament, and overcame the winner of the AEGON Championships at Queens Club, Sam Querrey, with aplomb. Murray will next face the exciting Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the next round, and will hope to up his first serve percentage. The rest of the British number one’s game continues to fire nicely.

Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all the remaining matches, with debenture seats for Andy Murray’s quarter final match on Centre Court tomorrow on sale from a price of £1422, with semi-final and final tickets also available for both men’s and ladies’ sides of the draw – as well as the doubles.

British number one Murray has not dropped a set in his first three matches, but faces a tougher challenge on Centre Court today. He will take on American fast server Sam Querrey, who won the prestigious grass court tournament at Queens Club just prior to Wimbledon.

Still, Murray’s return is one of the best parts of his game – and arguably the best in the world – and Querrey will have to serve as well as he did in the AEGON Championships to progress, as well as overcome the mental barrier of a partisan crowd in favour of the British player.

With the championship entering its second week, Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all remaining days of the competition. The weather has been quite consistently beautiful, unlike the strangely rainy clay tournament of Roland Garros, and the quality of tennis has repeatedly matched its beauty.

Britain’s number one was unfazed. Murray gave a flawless performance, and played some scintillating tennis to win in straight sets. He will play Gilles Simon in the third round, after the Frenchman was awarded a walkover in his match.

In addition, John Isner and Nicolas Mahut finally finished their incredible record-breaking duel on Court 18. American giant Isner won the fifth set 70-68 – and naturally collapsed on the ground in a mix of incredulity and euphoria. Rafael Nadal suffered a scare when he was pushed to five sets by Robin Haase, but eventually came through to book a third round tie with Germany’s Philipp Petzschner.

Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all remaining days of the tournament, and with all the big guns still in the draw, crowds are sure to see some of the best players showcasing their skills.

Who knows – there could even be a British winner this year!

The 2008 Wimbledon men’s final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal has been hailed as the greatest match of all time. 2009 saw an epic match between Andy Murray and Stanislas Wawrinka under the Centre Court roof that became the latest ever finish at Wimbledon, while the final saw Andy Roddick take on Federer. The American lost an epic fifth set 16-14 to finish runner up to the Swiss maestro, but in fact won more games than Federer overall – yet still ended up on the losing side.

This year the excitement has begun early. Roger Federer came back from two sets down to defeat the plucky Colombian Alejandro Falla, while Novak Djokovic and Taylor Dent broke last year’s record for the latest ever finish, as their five setter was decided at 22:58.

Still, the biggest drama was to be found on court 18. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut are still deadlocked in their first round match, and the battle will resume on a third day. The pair have broken multiple records in their incredible tussle, which was called to a halt at 59-59 in the fifth set due to bad light. At ten hours, it is the longest tennis match of all time, and indeed the fifth set of 118 games (so far) has lasted over seven hours!

Furthermore, both players have broken the record for the number of aces in a tennis match, which was previously held by Ivo Karlovic, who hit 78 in a Davis Cup tie for Croatia. Isner has 98, while Mahut has 95.

It is therefore no surprise that Wimbledon tickets continue to be so popular every year, but which player will win is anybody’s guess!

Elsewhere, British number one Andy Murray takes on Finland’s best tennis player Jarkko Nieminen in front of the Queen on Centre Court, so had better practise his bow! Caroline Wozniacki, Chang Kai-Chen, Rafael Nadal and Robin Haase will also perform in front of Britain’s monarch, making her first appearance at SW19 since 1977 – incidentally the last time a British player won the trophy!

Still, some of the top players were not quite so fortunate.

Swiss tennis ace Stanislas Wawrinka was seeded to play his compatriot Roger Federer in the fourth round, but like the aforementioned top players, his match went the distance. Wawrinka did not come out on top however, and succumbed 6-7 6-1 2-6 7-6 6-3 to Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan. Other top seed to fall included Croat Marin Cilic and Spaniard Fernando Verdasco.

Federer, Djokovic and Davydenko will all play today, along with former champion Lleyton Hewitt, and will hope for smoother progress in their second round matches.

Yesterday, Britain’s Andy Murray earned himself the chance to play in front of the Queen with a straightforward victory over Czech player Jan Hajek, and has reportedly been practising his bow! On Thursday the Queen makes her first appearance at Wimbledon in 33 years, and given that there was a British winner in 1977 in Virginia Wade, it could be a good omen for the Scot.

Wimbledon tickets are on sale for all remaining dates of the tournament, with top-of-the-range debenture tickets available.

If the defending champion crashed out in the first round for only the third time in the tournament’s history, it would be the most remarkable of feats for Falla, who also defeated Juan Martin Del Potro in the US Open first round in 2006 – but that was before the Argentine’s breakthrough to the tennis elite.

As arguably the greatest player of all time, Federer is one of the main reasons Wimbledon tickets are such valued commodities – with the cheapest going for £340. Still, if the world number two loses early on in the tournament, perhaps there could be a British winner on the grass courts of SW19 for the first time in over 70 years.

Andy Murray has a great chance. Could this be his year?

There will of course be Scottish representation though. British number one Andy Murray is seeded according to his number four ranking, while Jamie Baker was awarded a wildcard thanks to recent improved form – which includes a final appearance in Glasgow earlier this year.

The decision not to award wildcard entries to players such as serial failure Alex Bogdanovic though is understandable. Bogdanovic had been eliminated in the first round on all eight of his previous attempts, and finally the Lawn Tennis Association lost patience. Serbian-born Bogdanovic remains the British number two at world number 161, but lost in qualification – as did Daniel Evans and Josh Goodall.

Even so, perhaps James Ward merited a wildcard after reaching the quarter final in Eastbourne earlier this week.

It looks like British hopes at Wimbledon rest on Andy Murray again, and Wimbledon tickets are available for all days of the tournament for Court One and Centre Court.

The world’s oldest tennis competition begins next week, and with the weather continuing to improve, some Pimm’s and some strawberries and cream at SW19 would go down a treat.

McEnroe is now a regular on the seniors circuit and a media commentator, and having won seven majors in his stellar career is well placed to give advice to Murray. He believes the Scot should cut speed from his first serve in order to increase accuracy, for although when it fires it is a potent weapon, the percentage is lower than many of the other top players.

He told the Independent that national pressure from the British public is affecting Murray’s game; as is disappointment for not showing his best form in the Australian Open final in January. While Murray’s intense training  got him to a high of number 2 in the world, McEnroe indicated that better time management of his regime will prevent burnout. In the 2009 US Open, Murray appeared to be running on empty when he faced Croatian star Marin Cilic in the 4th round.

Finally, McEnroe hinted that he knew of a change in Murray’s court mentality. For a long time, Murray has played a counter-punching style; his movement and court artistry have long frustrated opponents into errors. McEnroe said he had heard of a move to a more aggressive game just inside the baseline – akin to Nikolay Davydenko, and this could prove a big step towards Andy Murray’s first Grand Slam title.

Wimbledon tickets are currently on sale for all courts on each day of the tournament, and having gone a round further each year he has played at SW19, Murray ought to be a certainty for the final. He will be seeded four for the biggest grass competition in tennis, meaning that he can only face Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal in the semi-final – should each of them get there.

Roger Federer lost only his second match on grass in seven years in the final of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle – going down in three sets to Australian former world number one Lleyton Hewitt.

In the AEGON Championships at Queens Club, Sam Querrey won an all-American final against Mardy Fish after the big names fell by the wayside early on. Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Marin Cilic all lost far before anticipated, and will have to improve their grass court game with one week remaining until Wimbledon.

Wimbledon tickets are much sought after every year, and for those unwilling to gamble on their chances in the famous queue, over 1000 tickets are still on sale online.

The lowest priced are available for £330 from Seatwave for the first round, with prices rising to between £2809 and £4999 for Wimbledon men’s final tickets.

Which players will actually make it to the final though is anyone’s guess.

Whether Murray enjoys a successful tournament or not, players of the calibre of world number one Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Andy Roddick are certainly worth seeing, and Queens tickets are still on sale for all remaining days of the tournament – including the final.

There are over 500 Queens Final tickets available, with prices beginning at £104 from Ticketmaster subsidiary GetMeIn. Top of the range tickets are also on sale for £528 – also from GetMeIn – with an excellent view from the South Stand similar to that broadcast on television.

As the first British man to win at Queens Club since Bunny Austin in 1938, the whole country will hope that Andy Murray can equal Fred Perry’s feat from 1936 – and win Wimbledon.

Before that though, he has a trophy to defend.

Who would have expected Robin Söderling to beat Roger Federer in four sets – ending a 12-match losing streak against the Swiss maestro in the process?

Who would have expected Jurgen Melzer to make it to the semi-finals at Roland Garros, having never progressed beyond the third round of a Grand Slam before in his career?

It all bodes well for the next tournament on the grass courts of Queens Club.

The AEGON Championships will feature some of the very best players in men’s tennis in British number one Andy Murray, 2008 Wimbledon Champion – and new world number one – Rafael Nadal, American fast-server Andy Roddick and Serbian star Novak Djokovic. The 2010 AEGON Championships also includes Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic – and the quality of tennis is certain to match what is probably its strongest ever line-up.

In 2009, Andy Murray became the first British winner of the competition since Bunny Austin in 1938, beating James Blake in the final. Although he had mixed success during the clay court season, he is a better prospect on grass, and could well retain his title.

With such a stellar field of players, tennis fans who can’t wait for Wimbledon will be delighted. Queens tickets are available from £75 from official Queens Club partner SeeTickets – with Queens Final tickets selling from £75.

Britain’s number one has progressed a round further than his previous attempt each year he has played at SW19, and so far this year has looked strongest in Grand Slam competitions.

Murray has just been knocked out of the French Open after a loss to Czech tennis ace Tomáš Berdych in the fourth round, but the Scot will always have a better chance on grass than on clay.

Wimbledon is the oldest and most celebrated tennis competition in the world. The hallowed grass courts of SW19 have been the host to many a classic encounter, and the quality of the game is at an all-time high. The chance to see some of these modern greats in the flesh is one that can hardly be missed.

Wimbledon tickets are notoriously valuable commodities, and one of the best ways to make your Wimbledon experience the fortnight of a lifetime is with some debenture tickets.

Debenture tickets are the very best on offer. They include a full day of tennis from the optimum views, with included access to the Debenture Lounge, bars restaurants and cloakroom – all within close proximity of the court.

In addition, the resale of debenture tickets are allowed, and there is actually good value to be found in this secondary market.

Debenture tickets for the Wimbledon Men’s Final on Centre Court are on sale through trusted seller Seatwave for £2445. Considering the last two Wimbledon finals between Roger Federer and his successive opponents Rafael Nadal and Andy Roddick have been arguably the greatest matches in tennis history, this seems a brilliant price.

The added factor of there being a very real chance to see a first British men’s champion since 1936 makes for a stupendous atmosphere whenever Murray plays, for he is the best British hope in years with a shot of emulating the feats of the great Fred Perry.

The Wimbledon Ladies’ final on Centre Court also has fantastic deals available. Debenture tickets can be bought from Seatwave from £669 – a most reasonable price to see Justine Henin attempt to complete the career Grand Slam at SW19 against the Williams sisters and her compatriot Kim Clijsters.

In fact, across all rounds there are excellent bargains to be found – inevitably the cheap tickets are located in the earlier rounds:

In SW19, crowd pressure and mental fatigue appeared to get to Gasquet, but at Roland Garros, his loss was more down to physical condition.

Having played and won an exhausting final in Nice against Fernando Verdasco on Saturday, Gasquet looked in excellent form ahead of the French Open. However, with just a day between that match and his clash with Murray, he barely had any time to recover.

Despite playing excellently for the first two sets, with multiple winners from his beautiful backhand, he could not maintain his level, and the British number one lives to fight another day. He will next face Argentinian ace Juan Ignacio Chela, who he beat in last year’s tournament – as well as in the ATP Madrid Masters earlier this year.

Clay is not Murray’s favourite surface, but he did reach the quarter final in Paris last year. After the climax of the French Open, the grass court season begins, and the Scot will attempt to defend his title at the AEGON Championships at Queens in a top class field. Queens Club will host some of the very best in the game, including Murray, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Fernando Verdasco, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Marin Cilic.

Roger Federer has an innate ability to produce his best form in the big tournaments, which explains his outstanding record of 23 consecutive Grand Slam semi-finals. His losses to Tomas Berdych, Ernests Gulbis, and Alberto Montañés in recent competitions are highly unlikely to be replicated in the French Open later this month, and the fast courts at Roland Garros – and the current ATP Madrid Masters – will aid the resurrection of his form.

Andy Murray will do well to do the same on his weakest surface, but Djokovic has pulled out of Madrid citing breathing difficulties caused by allergies. Del Potro meanwhile is out for the long term with a wrist injury.

After a year of struggling with knee injuries, the former world number one showed he is back to his best as he dropped only 14 games in five matches in Monte Carlo. The victory also served notice of Nadal’s intent to regain the French Open crown he surrendered to Roger Federer last year, after four straight titles.

The win also highlights Nadal’s potential for a second Wimbledon title, with the competition set to take place in June this year. Wimbledon tickets are available to compare and buy now here at Tixdaq.com.

The Spaniard will also be competing at Queen’s Club prior to the competition at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, and being in such devastating form, he will be more than hopeful of overcoming the likes of Roger Federer and Andy Murray and winning both tournaments here in the UK.

World number one player Federer has set no date for his return, but hopes to recover in time for the Masters 1000 events across America in March. Nadal and Del Potro also miss the event through injury, and so with just two members of the top five playing, the remaining players must view this as a real chance to take the title in Dubai, and early season form could hint to the next Grand Slam champion in Paris this May.

This year’s Australian Open has been a great start to 2010 for the Scot. He has turned around the negative play that hit his 2009 grand slam hopes and employed a much more attacking – and yet risk-free – all-round game. Though Murray started slowly against Cilic, his good form eventually came through and, in the end, he won convincingly  3-6 6-4 6-4 6-2.

Just one month into 2010, Murray is undoubtedly having a record-breaking year. He is just one win away from being the first British male to win a Grand Slam singles title in 74 years and if he continues this form, fans back home will be intrigued to see how he gets on later in the year – namely, Wimbledon 2010.

British tennis fans have watched the SW19 event down the years with hopes – however faint – of a Brit emerging victorious. Tim Henman could and should have won it but failed a whopping four times at the semi-final stage. Since Murray’s arrival on the scene, hopes have become stronger with each passing season, and 2010 is shaping up to be his finest year to date. With his fierce determination, a powerful serve and an almost unbeatable defence, Murray now has the tools to go on to claim what most consider as the biggest prize in tennis – the Wimbledon title.

The 2010 Wimbledon tennis championships are just months away and fans will be pleased to hear that Wimbledon tickets are already available to buy from tixdaq.com. The tournament starts on the 21st of June and tickets start from £357.

Just one month into 2010, Murray is undoubtedly having a record-breaking year. He is the first Briton to reach the last eight of the Australian Open since John Lloyd in 1977 and if he can continue this form, fans back home will be intrigued to see how he gets on later in the year – namely, Wimbledon 2010.

British tennis fans have watched the SW19 event down the years with hopes – however faint – of a Brit emerging victorious. Tim Henman could and should have won it but always failed at the final hurdle. Since Murray’s arrival on the scene, a fresh hope has arisen, one that has become more realistic with every passing year. With his fierce determination, a powerful serve and an almost unbeatable defence, Murray now has the tools to go on to claim what most consider as the biggest prize in tennis.  Wimbledon 2010 could be his time.

The 2010 Wimbledon tennis championships are just months away and fans will be pleased to hear that Wimbledon tickets are already available to buy from tixdaq.com. The tournament starts on the 21st of June and tickets start from £357.

The air might be cold and the ground may be frozen solid but in a month’s time the 2010 Six Nations Championship will begin in earnest.

The first major international rugby tournament of the new decade will come to life on February 6th when defending champions Ireland take on traditional competition minnows Italy at Croke Park. With 2009 having been bedecked in green with both the international honours and domestic glory – in the shape of the Magners League and Heineken Cup – being bestowed on the Emerald Isle it remains to be seen if Declan Kidney’s men can remain on top of the tree.

Later that day sees the first real major clash of the tournament as England welcome Wales to Twickenham. The Welsh star has faded slightly in the last twelve months but they still retain a dynamic core of quality players throughout their first XV with the likes of Jamie Roberts, Mike Phillips and Shane Williams always a  major threat with ball in hand. England will be hoping to improve on an unsatisfactory Autumn but the return to the squad of Delon Armitage and Rikki Flutey as well as their first choice front row will no doubt bolster their challenge.

Scotland take on France in their opening match with Andy Robinson’s men boosted by a successful Autumn International series that included a famous win over Australia. The French, however, comprehensively beat world champions South Africa during the same period and are widely regarded as Ireland’s main challengers for the Six Nations crown.

Tickets for all the above matches are still available to compare and buy on tixdaq.com.

Andy Murray beat Fernando Verdasco in an epic three set encounter, but that failed to secure him a place in the semi finals due to the fact that Juan Martin Del Potro beat the world number one, Roger Federer, 6-2. 6-7, 6-3 in what was one of the greatest matches of the tournament so far.

This means that Juan Martin Del Potro has booked himself a place in the semi finals at the O2 Arena on Saturday alongside the player he beat last night, Roger Federer.

Today’s matches see Rafael Nadal take on Novak Djokovic in the afternoon match followed by Nikolay Davydenko v Robin Soderling in the final.

Last night, Nikolay Davydenko beat Rafael Nadal in straight sets at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals in London. In what was the second of yesterday’s matches at the O2 Arena, Nikolay Davydenko beat the world number two, Rafael Nadal, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5).

Rafael Nadal is now out of the 2009 ATP World Tour Masters having lost his opening match earlier this week against Robin Soderling. Reafael Nadal has really struggled to capture his past form this season and the two defeats at the ATP Masters Finals sums up his last twelve months.

Nikolay Davydenko goes in to the final day (November 27) of the round Robin stage of the tournament needing a win against Novak Djokovic. Djokovic is in a similar position having lost and won a game this week.

Today’s (November 26) matches see Andy Murray go head-to-head with Fernando Verdasco in the afternoon followed by Roger Federer taking on Juan Martin Del Potro in the evening. Both matches will no doubt be epic encounters as all four players are playing some of the best tennis of their lives. Juan Martin Del Potro is in particularly good form despite having lost against Andy Murray in the opening game of the 2009 ATP Masters Finals.

Andrew Murray was all to aware of what had let him down against Roger Federer. Murray’s serving was well below his usual high standards last night and Roger Federer made sure he capitalised on Andy Murray’s poor form. Murray told SkySports: “I served so poorly that anyone would have looked good against me because you get a chance pretty much every single point.”

Andrew Murray and Roger Federer have now met four times this season, and they have each claimed two wins. Andrew Murray claimed victories in Indian Wells and Doha, while Roger Federer has won the two most recent matches at the Cincinnati Masters as well as last night’s victory.

The 2009 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals continues this afternoon. The first match of the day sees Novak Djokovic take on Robin Soderling which is followed by Rafael Nadal v Nikolay Davydenko.

Rafael Nadal, who has had one of his worst season’s since joining the ATP tour was clearly no match for an in-form Robin Soderling who disposed of the former world number one in straight sets. Robin Soderling was not originally due to take part in the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, however, an injury to Andy Roddick meant that the number nine seed was called up to fill the empty spot.

The second of today’s singles matches sees Novak Djokovic take on Nikolay Davydenko. Novak Djokovic has been in fine form of late and he is the bookies’ favourite.

Tomorrow sees Juan Martin Del Potro v Fernando Verdasco  followed by Andy Murray taking on the world number one, Roger Federer.

Britain’s Andy Murray has won the opening match at the ATP World Tour Finals in London’s O2 Arena, against US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro.

The 22-year-old from Dunblane took the lead in the round-robin phase in Group A, winning 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in front of over 17,000 spectators.  The ATP World Tour Finals, an end-of-season tournament for the top eight seeded players, are being held in London for the first time, in a residency at the O2 Arena which will last until at least 2012.

The Clash’s London Calling came tearing out of the loudspeakers as the players walked on, and there was a collective sharp intake of breath when Del Potro asked for a timeout only three games into the match – which thankfully turned out to be nothing worse than to stem a troublesome nosebleed.  Del Potro recovered to test properly Murray’s defensive skills, although the Scot’s broad range of defensive and attacking play, not to mention his cool demeanour, meant Murray took the first set 6-3.

Del Potro bounced back in the second, finally finding his groove to take an early break in a set which saw four breaks of serve in total, the last going to Del Potro with one of his massive forehands to take the second set 6-3.

But Murray’s level-headedness remained, as he broke Del Potro in the second game of the third set and rattled off his service game to love.  At 3-0 up Murray applied full throttle and broke again to win the third and final set convincingly at 6-2.

Murray will play Roger Federer next, on Tuesday November 24th.  Federer beat Fernando Verdasco in first evening session at the O2 on Sunday night, struggling to find his feet at first to lose the first set 4-6, before recovering to win the second and third, for the match, at 7-5, 6-1.  Before that match Murray said he was already looking forward to taking on the winner, regardless of who it was, and it’s possible Federer’s faltering in the first third of his match will give Murray enough of a toehold to control the match as he did on Sunday afternoon.

Tickets to that match, and all other group and knockout matches up to and including the singles and doubles finals, are available to compare and buy now at tixdaq.com.

It has recently been revealed that Andy Murray will be the first of the top seeds to take to the court at the London O2 Arena this Sunday (November 22).

The order of play for the second day of the Barclays ATP tour finals has also been confirmed. Rafael Nadal faces Robin Soderling in the afternoon, while Novak Djokovic takes on Nikolay Davydenko in the evening.

With the world’s top eight seeds all in action, tennis fans will no doubt be doing all they can to snap up last-minute tickets to see the likes of Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in action. This is one of the very rare occasions that British tennis fans have the opportunity to see these top class players on court without having to worry about the rain getting in the way.
