Signs hugely promising both for Murray and Scottish tennis

As he prepared for last night's annual meeting, the Tennis Scotland chief executive made the remarkable discovery that, in terms of performance in 2012, the leading Scottish player who made least progress was one Andy Murray.

That, at least, was the punchline in David Marshall's account of a year in which Elena Baltacha entered the top 50 in the women's game, Colin Fleming reached the top 25 in men's doubles, Jason Barnett became the world No.1 in the over-35s and Gordon Reid reached a career high of world No.8 in wheelchair tennis, not to mention the successes of a string of highly promising juniors.
