There are TONS of potential people to note here. I'd been keeping a list but it's not complete and so I've given up.... So just a little shout out today to Andy Bettles who seems to be doing a great job in Svitolina's corner, at the Aussie open. Good to see him, as one of our college boys, making a good living...

Richard Russell who passed away on 15th January 2025 was a Jamaican tennis player who played in all the Grand Slams in the 1960's and also the Davis Cup. However in the days before all these coaches etc, VIrginia Wade knocked up with him before her 1968 USOpen final against Billie Jean King.She wrote...

I found out - mainly by asking why the ITF junior final was on Friday rather than Saturday - that the winter county cup(open age)is on this weekend. I did find it a bit strange that it is a 3 day event starting on Friday morning, especially when some of the lesser counties will not have 6 pro players so they w...

For those who hanker for the old days, this Youtube video has appeared on social media. It is a 15 minute highlight reel of the 1952 Women's Singles final at Wimbledon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSWyMdsfKM Thought some might find it interesting.

Feels wrong that we dont have a discussion on this to allow people to comment - the British government have tonight urged China to prove she is safe. Good.

For the main championships I'm going to see if separating out them out from the main US College discussion works.
