    I once read that you should avoid the 4 corners of Glasgow. Drumchapel, Pollok, Castlemilk and Easterhouse. They're all pretty similar I think, although I only really know my way around Drumchapel.

    People shouldn't be getting their knickers in a twist - the guy he beat had a career-high ranking of 996...and that was 5 years ago.

    If anything it's embarrassing that Murray lost points to this guy.

    Don't know if this is exactly accurate, but do professional's use smaller but heavier rackets? Because I bought a proper £90 Wilson racket today. But it seems really flimsy and weak, it also seems quite small compared to most rackets. It feels like I'm using a £10 Tesco racket haha! But it's a proper £90 Wilson Blade racket, I then asked fella today at tennis and be said it might be because it's a pro racket and they are difficult to use, takes a lot of practice. Just wondering if anyone can help me? shifty Basically I just wanna' now if I've ripped off and could of got a better racket for £20 or whether indeed it is a good racket but it just takes a lot of practice as it's a 'proper' racket. If that's the case I'm willing to stick with it and learn.

    It's not a case of better or worse but when you're starting out they usually recommend a racquet with a larger head, just because it's easier to make clean contact with the ball. Smaller racquets tend to have more control, depending on the tension of the strings and whatnot. That's all for the pros though, shouldn't make a lot of difference if you're just playing recreationally.

    Either way, practice makes perfect.
