STICKY:
Links to Internet streams
(Preview)
I've noticed that when matches are streamed there are often people looking for links, so thought it would be useful to sticky some key links for easy reference. Please add other links which may be useful for others http://www.lshunter.tv/tennis-live-streaming-video.html http://www.atdhe2...

Strongest Nation?
(
First … Last »
)
(Preview)
For my own amusement, I thought I would try and keep track of the top tennis nations over the course of the year and see where GB stacked up. Being honest, my main interest is the mens game, so I planned to track the week by week average rankings of the top 10 players in each of the key countries and see if GB ma...

2019 Grass Court Season - Which British player will win the most MAIN DRAW DOUBLES matches - a Poll!
(
1 2 3 4 5
)
(Preview)
So, contrary to what I posted earlier, I thought a separate thread to track and predict the doubles performances would be fun! Like in singles, only main draw wins in mens and womens doubles will count, not mixed at Wimbledon! Obviously some of the players in the poll may partner up (Bambo and Jonny fo...

With the grass season about to start in two weeks time, I felt it might be good to repeat last years bit of fun where we predicted which male or female player would win the most MAIN DRAW singles matches during the grass court events. I am including all events, ATP Tour/WTA Tour/ATP Challenger/ITF Women...

2019 Grass Court Season - Qualifying Wins List
(Preview)
Those who follow the main draw singles may have seen that I also keep a list of the qualifying wins we achieve in the various events. As this easily gets lost and also confuses, I felt it would be worthwhile to keep a separate tab. Last season, worth noting, we had 54 (yes 54) qualifying wins across the va...

I've searched and I think we are missing a topic for this. It's really quite an important part of the British Tennis landscape and should be followed on this forum. Clearly it's never going to be as big as College Tennis in the states, but we do have quite a few aspiring professionals in the BUCS system. M...

There are TONS of potential people to note here. I'd been keeping a list but it's not complete and so I've given up....

On the grounds that occasionally someone does something quite extraordinary that seems to merit attention but doesn't fit into any other thread, would the mods be all right with this as a thread? If so, may I nominate Gilles Simon as a worthy opener? A few days ago, he was on crutches and the assumption...

So as per the Australian Open, let's see what folks think we will achieve in Paris. Main draw singles and doubles , but not mixed. Also a win in doubles counts as the pair - eg Jamie and Bruno would be one win, Neal and Ken would also count as one win. Last year we managed 7 wins across the piece. In Melb...

Hope this is the right place to post. I'm in my early 20s, started playing tennis this year, having 'retired' from another sport that I competed in at a national level. I understand I'm late to the sport, but am aiming to play at quite a high level. But a situation arose at my club that is hindering my progr...

World Mixed Doubles Rankings

Just to amuse myself, and not to upset anyone, I decided to create a sort of mixed doubles ranking list. Given there are only 4 pro events (that I know of) ie the 4 slams each season, I took two seasons worth of performances, so 8 events from FO 17, through to AO19. Like real world rankings, I will drop FO17 w...
