So far the weather has not been cooperating in Jolly Ol' England. But at least the big boys got to see the court in Queens.

The Andys return triumphant, Gael is...Gael, Reeshie keeps winning, Janko keeps losing, and G-Spot and Dima scored some wins. Oh, and ATomic bounced Seppi. Don't let that get to his head. No really. Don't.
