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...

No nothing about these guys and their history but seems surprising on face of it...there is a twitter feed call WTA Tea that seems to imply various things about her coach and indeed about various players and their coaches and things they are linked to.

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...

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...

Wildcards are discussed on another thread, which generates as much heat as light. Seedings bother me more. I guess, because I am naturally in favour of the plucky underdog; also because I pay less attention to James Ward, just outside the GS DAs, than to Hev, just outside the GS seedings. Grotesquel...
