June 10th. Jeff & Wes play Butorac/Ram fourth on Court 2 from 12.30pm. A contact of mine at the ATP has now updated Jeff's player profile with the website link, which I'm pleased about. Jeff & Wes are also now one of the listed teams on the ATP Stanford Doubles team profiles page. Good luck tomorrow guys!

June 8th. Queen's: Jeff and Wes #4 seeds, therefore first round bye. Second round they play the winners of: RAM, Rajeev(USA)/BUTORAC, Eric(USA) v RATIWATANA, Sanchai(THA)/RATIWATANA, Sonchat(THA).

May 31st. 2 and 4 loss in 1h11. Can't help but think the loss has something to do with Jeff's injury/time off, as the guys were on somewhat of a clay roll before this. Unfortunately, Jeff & Elena also lost their mixed match, 1-6, 2-6 in 54 minutes. Possibly Surbiton challenger next, before Queen's.

May 30th. 7-5, 6-4 win. Tipsarevic/Troicki in the next round, first on Court 10 at 11am tomorrow. Jeff also has the mixed tomorrow - 4th on Court 8, so probably at around 3.30pm.

In the match played on Centralito court, Coetzee and Moodie broke the Ullyett serve twice in the 26-minute first set – in the fourth and eighth games. Jeff said: “It means a lot to win our first team title together – particularly on clay! It’s always tough coming from Davis Cup, after Indian Wells and Miami. We only practised once on clay here before our first match. I said to Wesley it would be interesting to see how we played on clay, as generally we prefer hard courts. We stuck to our game plan and it worked for us."

Apr 19th. Monte Carlo draw: Jeff & Wes play Acasuso/Ferrer, with possible 2nd round against Clement/Llodra, whom as #7 seeds, have a bye in the first. The final against Murray/Ullyett is on a court TBA, not before 1.30pm tomorrow. Good luck guys, first title of the year!

In 2003, SA played Denmark in Denmark, so therefore the tie will be a home one for the boys. After Kev's victory, Jeff and Wes hotfooted it to Estoril, where they are #1 seeds. They play Marach/Mertinak in the first round.
