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...

a fun poll - ! In the context of their career who has the biggest match next ?

Your opinion on if this is an actual thing? Players assumingly being unable to play and then coming out and destroying top level players with relative ease and no real visible injury. Injury/toilet time outs being used at opportunistic (scoreboard) moments? Novak is getting a lot of grief for it thi...

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...

I was pleased to find videos of Evonne Cawley's matches against Hana Mandlikova and Tracy Austin, from 1980 on youtube. The full matches as well. Lots of other Hana Mandlikova matches as well.

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...

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...

Sorry if it's been mentioned elsewhere , but I'm just delighted.

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...

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 seems the old search engine has gone where you could find a players rating, age, county and results. Now all I see is results and I was hoping to discreetly find out if some guys were in my veterans age group.
