His hatred of Nadal knows no bounds. Here is how he describes the final on his podcast.I didnt love the tennis. The way these two played each other is tennis I dont admire or enjoy. The tennis is cowardly. Aesthetically it wasnt my favorite tennis to watch. And Medvedev is a great tactician! Nadals ti...

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...

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...

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. He was telling me that the aspiration for Ilkley is to aim to get to a full ATP Tour 250 level event. They have had discussions with the AT...

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...

As it says on the tin above, what is the genereal feeling on this? My feelings are well known in that I have almost zero interest in Doubles. 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...
