US College Signings

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 put this in the Chat section but as it is Tennis now I've decided to start a thread here. Craig Tiley pushing for TiM (and TiF but not an issue as they will never be able to compete with the Men) to play the AO. Currently Tennis is still using the outdated and scientifically debunked 5nmol of testosterone...

British ITF/Challenger events 2025
(Preview)
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...

Winter County Cup

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...

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...
