(Preview)
I mainly follow the mens tour ATP down to the ITFs. Looking at upcoming tournaments there appears to a very heavy balance towards clay court tournaments in Challenger and ITFs. Is it me or is it more than normal? Looking at just challenger level from this week to w/b 16th August there are 22 Challengers...

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...

World Mixed Doubles Rankings
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
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...

I think BBC sports live broadcasts are streets ahead of the competi...

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...
