US College Signings
(Preview)
In recent years a thread has been started to cover the US College signing for the following season that then morphs into the General college thread for that season. I'm thinking maybe have a dedicated thread for college signings (this thread) and start a separate thread for discussion of the season'...

Winter County Cup
(
1 2 3 4 5
)
(Preview)
I found out - mainly by asking why the ITF junior final was on Friday rather than Saturday - that the winter county cup(open age)is on this weekend. I did find it a bit strange that it is a 3 day event starting on Friday morning, especially when some of the lesser counties will not have 6 pro players so they w...

For those who hanker for the old days, this Youtube video has appeared on social media. It is a 15 minute highlight reel of the 1952 Women's Singles final at Wimbledon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSWyMdsfKM Thought some might find it interesting.

Just watched the first episode and was impressed. Concentrated mainly on Felix Gill over in Spain. Hadnt realised his Dad passed away this year. Not much depth to it but each episode is only 15 mins.

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...

https://www.dartsrankings.com/tennis/brazzaville Dont think Ive ever seen one this bad. ATP challenger 50 event in Brazzaville in Republic of Congo last direct entry 1531 and only 6 names on the alt list. Be surprised if a qualifying draw happens and this is before anyone drops out.

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...

What do you think's up with Nadal at the moment ?
After a simply brilliant first 6 months, in which he won 5 titles and reached the Wimbledon final aswell as winning RG and made the semis of Indian Wells, his last few months have been quite disappointing by his standards.
In Toronto he was outpow...

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...
