Henry (born 2006) has to have a thread of his own because, as of today, 16th July 2023, he won the Boys' Junior Wimbledon singles title. This is the first time for GB in over 60 years. Not only that, he won every round in two sets, with first serves today of 134 and 132 mph - this was the quickest serve recorde...

Well, it's got to be done..... Sonay Kartal, age 19, has just won the ITF 15 title in Turkey, and deserves her own thread. A promising youngster, who played a lot against/with Emma Raducanu as a tiddler and young teenager, she's had a few injuries issues and, for whatever reason, didn't travel abroad...

I thought I'd start a new thread for her as I am guessing we will be following her in the years to come. I'm pretty exited by what I hear, talent and temperament  Living in the US (why do all our good players have to have a few years away from the UK???) I hear Judy's already looking to put her in the Fed cup te...

She's also improvi...

Hollie Smart

I've a feeling that Hollie Smart's name is going to be a frequent one on this forum in years to come. So it's about time she had her own thread. Hollie was born in June 2009. She's a tall, slender girl. Plays quite a defensive game. After Hannah Klugman, she is pretty much the LTA's top pick for her age (alth...

Hi all, Anyone know if Paul is playing in any more tournaments soon after his great run on the East European Clay this past month? Just curious if younger players are looking to up their ranking this year so they can get out of the Transition Tour easier when it takes over next year?

I've been so impressed with Olivia Nicholls this Spring. Winning 4 doubles titles is so impressive and she's forming an exciting partnership with Sarah Beth Grey. Would you give the pair wild cards to the WTA British events? Or would you give it to established singles players (Hev, JoKo)? Arguably,...

Mimi Xu is (with Hep) the other extremely promising prospect we have amongst our young female players. She also is born 2007. Comes from Swansea. And has been a top LTA prospect for several years. I was very impressed when I saw her in the U18 nationals. The thing that stands out is her physique - she is...

Based at the NTC for a while. Now back at Bolton tennis academy full-time, I believe. Rather hampered by injury in the last few...

Liam topping off a much improved spell recently by qualifying and then reaching semis in Aptos 100k Challenger. Sensational 1st round win over Bemelmans followed by straight forward wins against two pretty decent draws. Hope he can make the final. Has he made a Ch Final before?
