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...

So my partner came up with this solution for solving the tennis crisis: The French Open is now practically on top of the US Open. And causing much angst. Wimbledon may well have to put back but can only be put off a few weeks at most, due to grass. So why not have Wimbledon, the US Open and the French Open all a...
