Starting a thread to try and make sense of both singles and doubles qualification for the Olympics. Most intriguingly (for me, at least) will be the doubles and mixed doubles pairings. I'll start by wondering whether the success and Dan and Neal, and the injury to Ken, will mean they will qualify by...

A few weeks ago we talked about following players from the start of their Wimbledon journey to the eventual winner. With no pre qualies, it therefore seemed reasonable to start in qualies at the first stage. Im not sure who the lowest ranked in each event are , but selecting our national under 18 wild ca...

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...

Yep, putting it up here. As each month progresses, lets use this thread for nominees etc. on that front, January 2021 month will close 31st January. But I am very conscious we have play this week that may throw up some worthwhile candidates , so if someone catches your eye this week, please put their na...

We have several threads for general ills in tennis (doping, match fixing etc) but there doesn't seem to be one on racism. And yet there have been some very big stories over the years (racism against Serena, racism by Serena etc. etc.) The case of Doug Adler (not Ben Rothenburg's best moment and he doesn...

As we have a specials junior section, I felt we should have at least a thread to comment on good British performances in the wheelchair tour. prior to the AO, we have the Victorian Open and Melbourne Open. Victorian starts on Wednesday. Not sure of field but it will include Brits like Alfie H , Gordon R a...

There's a really interesting 'long read' article in the Guardian about groudsmanship and the art of creating the perfect grass pitch/court whatever.

I often come on this forum to find, sadly, that no one has made it to Friday (usually Quarter Finals day). So I'm going to start this thread to celebrate those that do! Week 45 Challenger 80 ($54,160+H) - Knoxville, TN, USA (hard) QF: Liam Broady WR 262 vs Gijs Brouwer (NED) WR 441 (CH = 342 Aug 19) ITF M15 - C...

So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...

It seems that we've had a couple of specific threads for certain players but that a general thread might also be a good idea, so it's bit more all-encompassing. Anyway, best wishes to Sam Murray who's just had her wrist operation today, I believe. Hoping you have a speedy recovery and enjoy a bit of dow...

JonH · JonH

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...

More 'important' congratulations get their own thread (Andy and Kim's baby, Marcus' wedding etc.) which seems right but we didn't seem to have a general congrats thread, for all tennis players (rather like the remarkable non-GB performances, or best wishes re injuries). And good news is good news...

Don't seem to have a thread on this although I see some posts in the Brexit thread. ATP and WTA announced precautionary measures including no signing of tennis balls, no holding hands with mascots, ball girls and boys to be given gloves, and one I hope they keep on with; ball-girls and boys not to hand to...

This is the list of how players will qualify for the Player of the Season finals in 2021. Very similar to 2020. Main differences are that as there are 11/12 months instead of 8 (likely) then I have counted just Player of Month and RU, not 3rd place (as I did in 2020). Also, as there are more months, I have in...

The LTA have announced from 2022 they increase the number of ITF WTT events to 15 for both men and women. This year, they plan to hold some ITF events towards the end of the year, but won't hold the summer swing as the cost of a 25K event has increased from 65K to 130K with Covid safety requirements. This inc...

I will flag this in the Racism thread too. As it's a multi-layered story and different people will focus more on different aspects. Taylor Townsend's account is a long read. It's been met with a lack of sympathy from many (along the lines of 'you've never buckled down and made the most of your talent, do...

For definition purposes, based on birth year. No player born in the 90s has won a slam, and it is 2019 now!. I feel a whole generation, the 'lost gen' and maybe 'current gen' could possibly never win a slam. Next gen seems very strong. The lost gen will rank amongst the worst generation of tennis player...

I think I have seen this mentioned somewhere on the board but can't remember which thread, also thought it deserved it's own thread. Anyway UK Pro series should be back this year.
