Julien Hoferlin - RIP
(Preview)
With condolences to the family of Julien, who passed away earlier today. He was with the LTA for a good number of years, the personal coach to Dan Evans, strongly involved with the GB Davis Cup team, the coach of JoKo for a while.... He was also a really fun, pleasant guy. Tennis will miss him.

Brit of the Week: Week 13
(Preview)
In my opinion, a tough one this time around, with several players in with a shout. There's the girls in Miami, of course. Johanna Konta made the quarters, while Heather Watson made the fourth round. Whose run was more impressive? Meanwhile, Alex Ward picked up a second ITF title of the year in Tunis...

Brit of the Week: Week 12
(Preview)
Interesting one this week: Jamie Murray doesn't win a game, but reaches World #1. Does that make him the frontrunner for this week's award? Meanwhile, there was plenty of success at junior level, with Joe Tyler and Megan Davies picking up Grade 4 titles in Qatar ahead of Esther Adeshina and Aidan...

Not long ago everyone was starting to say things to the effect of 'The game has changed and players can't break through as teens anymore.' Given we suddenly seem to have lots of players doing just that and looking likely to be future top players in the post Big Four era and how they are often playing the Br...

Hi all! Thought I'd add a little weekly feature to the forum, to link my new project, Britennis, with the forum and generate a little bit of discussion about players' achievements and who deserves the label of 'Brit of the Week'.

What being 'Top 100' really means - a players perspective
(Preview)
A wryly self-deprecating, sanguine and grounded piece from self-described, "barely Top 100", Nicole Gibbs on the reality of being a Top 100 player on the WTA tour. Or, as she relays, the dizzy heights of being able to "[command] a crowd the size of an 8am college lecture".

Different Era's can you combine?
(Preview)
A question I often ponder at the moment. People say this is the toughest time to be a male tennis player with the players at the top. People often say, Murray in another era would have won more slams. My question is, that era at the turn of the century, where Hewitt, Moya, Jaun Carlos and Safin won slams, h...

Grants/funding to clean our courts

Hi, I've recently joined the committee of a club with excellent facilities but few members. One of the reasons is the poor state of the astroturf courts. A good clean would get them as good as new but it's something that would cost well into 4 figures, probably nearer 5 figures. We currently have about £...
