Congratulations
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 6
)
(Preview)
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...

Feels wrong that we dont have a discussion on this to allow people to comment - the British government have tonight urged China to prove she is safe. Good. I support the wta in their stance and getting out of China is their only reasonable option now. It is untenable for the wta to play in China next year I...

Two podcast related things I wanted to mention quick: (Sorry if either have already been covered and I'm duplicating) 1) great to see (as per the Jack Draper thread) that Jack has done a full interview with The Tennis Podcast 2) There's a really sad but really interesting and unexpectedly emotional...

Am starting this thread in response to a comment by Rosamund on the Laura Robson individual thread, as the discussion there was becoming sidetracked by posters' various reminiscences about past players!

Womens ITF name/ WTA ranking points changes
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
The ITF finally released the first tournaments of 2024. It's unusual for them to be released this late, but it seems it's because they are renaming the levels. W25 becomes W35 W40 becomes W50 W60 becomes W75 But the prize money seems the same: W35 Sunderland has 25k prize money W50 Edgbaston has 40k pri...

Next year's early ITFs are already on the ITF calendar. Fewer tournaments in January/February than 2024 but Manchester is introduced to the women's calendar which is a nice change from the usual venues. I would expect there to be at least 1 ATP Challenger. As a reminder there is an increase in prize mo...

Career Break
(Preview)
We've all seen the slow breakdown Harriet has been having and it got me thinking. Of all the top Women I think she is the only one that hasn't had an injury that allows her to utilise a PR (Heather may be another one) It got me thinking how hard it must be for the Players ranked below 50. They literally have...

Remarkable non-GB performances

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...

Views on status of Russian players in tennis

I wondered what peoples views are in terms of how the Russian players and nation should be treated on tour - I am going to do it as a poll and wondered what the prevailing opinion was: Options are: 1) completely ban them until peace is made 2) leave as is - neutral nationality and no involvement in team e...

This delightful interview with Matthew Syed took me back to my schooldays & brought back some lovely memories. Sadly, Roger, now 83, is not in the best of health, but, with true Yorkshire grit, seems to be making light of it.

I thought Kei was on a bit of a resurgence at the start of the year, making the final of Hong Kong back in early Jan. I watched him beat Jake in a challenger last November, and was impressed at his level as well - was playing top 30 tennis. Anyway he's tailed off since Feb and this news perhaps explains why. T...

Tennis Net?

Just watching Jack D at Queens on TV. I noticed the net seemed to be more saggy in the middle than I expected. I know the height of a net at the centre is the same on all courts as a standard requirement; question I had is whether the net has to be the same height all all parts along the net for all courts/nets - i...

British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) Tennis

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...
