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...

We had a thread last year which largely allowed us to keep tabs on the progress of Anna McBride and other players in the Para tennis world, so felt a new one for 2025 would be useful. If Anna's Dad reads this, I guess Anna and our other players are down in Australia now for the Aussie Open event? I can't see a d...
