Which is the most ethical kit manufacturer
(Preview)
I find myself in a difficult position in terms of buying tennis kit for my kids. Having a reasonable understanding of when a drug should and shouldn't be prescribed for medical reasons, I struggle to square a number of recent arguments about the use of non FDA (an organisation whose judgement I trust)...

Serena
(Preview)
is Serena ok health wise? have watched her last two matches. against Garbine M she had to stop play as she was coughing. at the interview after beating Dominique Cibulkova (which was a good match despite the score) her voice was croaky. maybe she has a cold, I hope that's all it is.

If so, what would you like to see change? I figure the topic can have its own thread.

Best attended Futures and Challenger events
(

I was reading the Tipton thread and noticed a few people with experience of attending various events over the years. It made me wonder, which are the best attended Futures and Challenger events in the UK , and what sorts of crowds would they get (if crowds is the correct phrase?) How does this compare wi...

Low level players. Admire? Sympathise?
(Preview)
We know that that life on the tennis fringes is tough. You need to have a very high talent level to be in the top small percentage that can financially carve a living in pro tennis. As Naomi Cavaday said, there are in effect 100 jobs in (singles) tennis. For the players who make up the pro ranks, there are a...

Satellite Circuits

I was musing on the fact we have 3 back to back Futures events this month in GB as well as 3 grass Challengers and also , if it works as per last season, 3 Futures events towards the end of the year (on the mens side that is). It made me think back to the old Satellite circuits and I wondered if anyone recalled th...

Only just read this so sorry if already known. When Wimbledon goes back a week in 2015, allowing for 3 weeks between French and Wimbledon, the Mercedes Cup has been accepted in a request to switch from clay to grass. It will be the first week of the three, followed by Halle I believe, so Germany will have...

Age restrictions..?
(Preview)
Hi, does the LTA totally restrict children from playing up a colour ball... All I can find is that they need to play 40 red balls and only after that in the season before they are 9 can they play orange. What if they are capable of orange at age 7? Is there nothing they can do except red?

Hi to everyone on this forum. I would like to sign up my son for tennis lessons and I thought, that maybe you know any teacher from this list https://zoptamo.com/uk/s-tennis-c-uk because on this site they don't have any opinions. Can you recommend any of them?

Sascha Morris Tennis Player

I suppose this is a bit gossipy, and not even sure if she qualifies as a Brit or not. I live in Harrogate so found it of interest. Anyway, Sascha Morris, Australian Tennis player ranked #15 in O45 ladies, has been jailed for 8 1/2 years for fraud relating to holiday properties in Greek Islands. She is an A...

Adding WTA/ATP matches to an Outlook Calendar

Kinda neat little feature. If you use Outlook, Outlook365, or outlook.com, you can add a calendar feed into your calendar that lists the shows the times for ATP/WTA matches - there's even separate feeds for singles & doubles. Follow instructions here, choosing tennis as the sport (obviously)...

LTA seek new sponsorship

I see that the LTA are seeking sponsorship for their main events now that AEGON have stopped their sponsorship. Will be interesting to see if they have others knocking on the door. Based on other sports corporate sponsorship is becoming harder and harder to find.

I see Fed was down to play the IPTL series this winter but has withdrawn - BBC seems to suggest it is down to his knee still but further down it turns out the IPTL is having financial problems and that both Fed and Serena have pulled out.
