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...

Thought Id start thread tracking the top 100 players over/under 30 just to see any changes that might happen going forward in the mens game. Players aged over 30: 7 in top 10 8 in top 16 12 in top 32 18 in top 50 34 in top 100 7 current Grand Slam winners over 30 Players aged under 30: 3 in top 10 8 in top 16 20 in t...

Does anyone know what's happened to STEVEN. He hasn't posted since 19th Feb, hasn't updated the Top 25 tables since 21st Feb and hasn't tweeted since 22Feb. I know Steven is omnipresent, but he rarely fails to reveal himself for so long. Steven, can you hear us?

I assume everyone's been following the newest wave of match-fixing allegations and hard news: https://tennistranslations.wordpress.com/2015/02/27/tennis-match-fixing-in-denmark-are-you-interested-in-making-some-money-on-the-side/ http://www.slate.com/articles/spor...

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...

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...

Apparently just before Xmas, for the King Salman Cup. NOVAK is president of the men's players council. Not sure I feel this is appropriate or right. What do others think?

This is a duplicate from another thread but I suddenly thought it deserved a thread of its own, maybe even as a reference tool for British players (I talked to one a few months ago who had no idea of the scope of money available elsewhere in individual tournaments - team tennis gets quite a lot of press but...

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...

How many people here going to subscribe to this for the US Open? I will but if picture quality no good (streaming not very good for sports with lots of movement) I will cancel. Anyone already got it - thoughts?

Just recently down at my local club one of our members announced that she had managed to secure tickets (prior to Murray's withdrawal) for the ATP World Tour Finals - not sure for what day or time but I have a feeling it's one of the days before the semi-finals. She was clearly looking forward to it and du...

I'm not sure if this should be included in this thread or other sporting events, but I noticed that Laura Deigman tweeted she was representing GB this week at Padel tennis.

Lots of controversy at the US Open this week about umpiring decisions. Firstly, the decision to issue a warning to Alizé Cornet for turning her top around which revealed her sports bra. (The US Open have since apologised for this) And now Lahyani's decision to come down from his chair and try and chivv...

Mariano Puerta Guilty of Doping ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/4549544.stm Argentina's Mariano Puerta has been banned from competition for eight years after failing a doping test following this year's French Open final. The International Tennis Federation confirmed th...

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...

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...

Despite no GB presence, nonetheless I do like DC semifinal week and of course the play off's. They are up next week and teams are just coming in: Semis France v Serbia - France name Tsonga, Pouille, Herbert/Mahut; Serbia name Lajovic and Krajinovic, Zimonjic and Djere with Troicki joining Novak on th...

If any one could add to this, I'd be interested in starting some sort of list showing which of our players (adults and junior) are attached to, or used to be attached to, a foreign academy and which one I'm meaning for at least a couple of years, not just summer programmes or whatever and including those a...

Wildcards are discussed on another thread, which generates as much heat as light. Seedings bother me more. I guess, because I am naturally in favour of the plucky underdog; also because I pay less attention to James Ward, just outside the GS DAs, than to Hev, just outside the GS seedings. Grotesquel...
