Here's the list of questions which were submitted on the old site and Colin's answers:
Q: Will Colin be playing doubles even when he will be eligible to play singles regularly on the ATP tour ? I am concerned about this because Britain really lacks a good doubles team.
A [from a member of Team Fleming]: I don't think Colin will ever give up doubles, he enjoys it too much and his partnership with Jamie is immense. Their success is getting recognition eg: the Davis Cup call-up in April and the Tennis Scotland award. Colin tends to use doubles as a relaxation from the singles.
Q: Will Colin feature in the Davis Cup tie against Serbia and Montenegro in April ?
A: Colin has been selected as a hitting partner, he accepted his call late on Friday night and wil join up with the squad once he's out of Cuba F2. Colin is being flown back to Britain by Jeremy Bates. If Andy Murray withdraws due to his ankle injury, Colin will replace him in the team and will have a chance of playing a rubber.
Q: What is Colin's favourite surface ?
A: Colin's favourite surfaces are outdoor hard and indoor carpet though he has achieved good results on other surfaces eg: clay.
Q: Are Colin and Jamie Murray going to enter any ATP tournaments and if so, when ?
A: Colin won't be playing any ATP doubles with Jamie until the grass-court season. They both want to improve their singles rankings at the same time and so they'd want to enter singles qualies as well but at the moment neither of them is ranked high enough to do that. At the moment they're going to try and play more challenger events - singles qualies and doubles main draw as the success they had in the Wrexham Challenger in January [when they reached the final] gave them more confidence that they could compete at that level. After the GB 1 satellite i Feburary they're going for a 25K+H challenger in Wolfsburg.
Q: How did Colin get started in tennis ?
A: Colin's grandfather got him into tennis and he started at age 8. Colin's natural ability at tennis comes genetically as his grandfather was the national table tennis coach and his aunt won a medal in the commonwealth games at table tennis.
Q: What are Colin's hobbies ?
A: Football, watching films, snooker, golf and "playing the name game." Colin plays the name game everywhere he goes with Jamie Murray and Jamie's coach. Colin reckons he's an expert now.
