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 Currently Tennis is still using the outdated and scientifically debunked 5nmol of testosterone...

Sadly the Wimbledon singles champion of 1960 Australia's Neale Fraser passed away on 2nd December 2024 aged 91. He won the US singles Championships of 1959 and 1960. In the 1959 US Championships he also won the doubles and mixed and is the last man to win all 3 titles at the same Grand Slam. He won...

As per the sensible request on the other page, (and as it concerns some of our best players), here is a thread exclusively for our GB players (men and women) who take part in the European club tennis leagues. (NB I don't follow the German leagues so if someone else does, please add it as this isn't meant to...

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...

For the main championships I'm going to see if separating out them out from the main US College discussion works.

What do you think's up with Nadal at the moment ?

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).
