(Preview)
Just read this The ATP will trial more frequent ball changes at the Lexington Challenger next month: main draw singles get the first change after 5 games, then every 7 down from the standard 7, then 9. Backed by the Player Advisory Council, it follows player feedback on hard-court ball wear. Ive of...

Jo Durie retiring from commentating
(Preview)
She's posted on X that the Swiatek v Eala match today was her last one as a commentator. Shame, she turns 66 in a few weeks so perhaps becomes eligible for her state pension and wants to put her feet up a bit. Good luck for the future Jo.

Wimbledon ballot returns
(Preview)
2 questions Anyone know when the ballot returns become available. 2nd question. Getting a single ticket is almost impossible. Is there anyone on here that also wants to go twice and 'marry up' for 2 x 2 tickets. Ideally I'd like to see both sides of the draw so either day 1 and 2 or day 1 and 4 or day 2 and 3. C...

There are TONS of potential people to note here. I'd been keeping a list but it's not complete and so I've given up.... So just a little shout out today to Andy Bettles who seems to be doing a great job in Svitolina's corner, at the Aussie open. Good to see him, as one of our college boys, making a good living...

The first rankings of the 2025-26 US College season - reflecting results over the fall semester - are much healthier for our women than the pre-season rankings were. Savannah's breakout semester is rewarded with a top 5 ranking. Gabia is a surprise at No 11 - although the seeding at the NCAA implied su...

I had a shock when I checked the latest OER WTA rankings this morning to check on Harriet's points. There is a large banner declaring the site will be shutting indefinitely from 15th June and a GO Fund Me appeal is there, based in Australian Dollars. Anyone heard anything about this?

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...

Career Break

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...
