Injuries and Illness - and good luck wishes

It seems that we've had a couple of specific threads for certain players but that a general thread might also be a good idea, so it's bit more all-encompassing. Anyway, best wishes to Sam Murray who's just had her wrist operation today, I believe. Hoping you have a speedy recovery and enjoy a bit of dow...

The LTA

I often see people refer to "The LTA" as an organisation and want to know actually who it is at the LTA responsible for certain decisions.

UTR Tennis Tournaments (in Britain or with British Players)

So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...

I don't think there is anywhere we can find out who is coaching our players so maybe we can pool knowledge and list them here - and update as we (and they) go. Despite searching I'm largely in the dark, particularly on the women's side. Other than Nigel who recently left Harriet, not sure who is being coac...
