Canadian Tennis - Louis Borfiga - Way to go, Bianca !
(Preview)
The French are rather bitter that the guy they let get away has been SO successful in Canada (because - quelle surprise - he was never given the chance in France). They tried to re-recruit him this year and he politely told them where to put it. It's a very interesting article about what was wrong in Cana...

Hi guys, I saw this video by Greg Rusedski on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B0DZdzBlqtl/ - He is recommending this special t-shirt when playing. Has anyone tried one? Or something similar? I could do with anything that can help me rotate better (particularly at my weak backhand sid...

Tennis courts at primary schools
(Preview)
I was just pondering something I thought many times and thought I would share it: Many secondary schools in the UK have tennis courts but very few primary schools seem to have them. By the time kids reach secondary school they have pretty much passed the age they would need to start playing to ever have a...

World University Games, Chinese Taipei 2017
(

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'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...

I won't repeat why as there are sensitive people who are offended by my opinion. I do however feel the forum would benefit from it being separated from not only thre...

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. For example, Novak and Fed do not have the singles Olympic gold medal. Nadal has never won the tour end finals. I believe the GOAT should not be drawn up from the Slam count...
