I think the 2015 games were posted in the Junior thread. But as they're not juniors, maybe the general tennis part is better. (Can't find 2016 games but Joe Salisbury and Darren Walsh got gold medals in the doubles). Anyway, the teams have just been announced, for the end of August, and include a lot of p...

I would possibly have put this in the mens section but for now felt it sat under general. I had a coffee with someone who is heavily involved in Ilkley tournament today.

Just recently down at my local club one of our members announced that she had managed to secure tickets (prior to Murray's withdrawal) for the ATP World Tour Finals - not sure for what day or time but I have a feeling it's one of the days before the semi-finals. She was clearly looking forward to it and du...

I've been trying to find a good tennis streaming site ever since Shanghai, when I tried to use a Russian site that had been working for me and it was down. I've tried lots of places, but none seem to actually show me the match that's playing. Any suggestions for streaming sites that are reliable? Ads aren...

I thought for my amusement I would see how folks on this board sit in terms of their preferences of the different tours - what caught my interest was that when new entry lists go up, or dates come near, I have a perception of a lot more discussion and comment around which women are in the draw, near the cu...

There has been lots of GOAT talk recently by fans of Fed, Nadal and Novak. Each fanbase of is quickly trying to make valid arguments.

Obviously, this board is focused on GB players but out of curiosity, do you follow other players outside of GB and if so, who are they? I think there are a few other fans of Garbiñe Muguruza on here, I also like Kerber, Naomi Osaka, Kvitova, Ostapenko and Sloane Stephens. I'm keeping an eye on players lik...
