Roger Taylor
(Preview)
This delightful interview with Matthew Syed took me back to my schooldays & brought back some lovely memories. Sadly, Roger, now 83, is not in the best of health, but, with true Yorkshire grit, seems to be making light of it.

Nishikori
(Preview)
I thought Kei was on a bit of a resurgence at the start of the year, making the final of Hong Kong back in early Jan. I watched him beat Jake in a challenger last November, and was impressed at his level as well - was playing top 30 tennis. Anyway he's tailed off since Feb and this news perhaps explains why. T...

Tennis Net?
(Preview)
Just watching Jack D at Queens on TV. I noticed the net seemed to be more saggy in the middle than I expected. I know the height of a net at the centre is the same on all courts as a standard requirement; question I had is whether the net has to be the same height all all parts along the net for all courts/nets - i...

New Format US Open mixed doubles 2025
(Preview)
I saw this was posted on Raducanu's page and felt it would be good to give it it's own topic thread. I hope that's ok? Sorry I've not looked up what week it is. The below is copied from JonH's and CD's posts there: Seems there is time for others to enter and then they take the top 8 combined rankings entries a...

What is up with 90s born male tennis players
(Preview)
So as Zverev goes down to Djokovic we are left one again with a Grand Slam with no winner coming from the generation born in the 90s. Originally it seemed it would be a curse of players born between 1988 and 92 or so with the likes of Kei Nishikori, Raonic etc that would miss out on major honours because of...

French Open tickets
(Preview)
Haven't been to Roland Garros since 2022, so have been thinking about trying to get tickets again this year. Hadn't realised they had introduced an online ballot just to access the public ticketing platform - it's crazy how demand has soared over the past decade, seems like there's more hurdles to ju...

Grand Slam prize money

I don't think this issue has been fully reported before, though it may have been touched upon in the course of broader debates: the top 10 players are agitating for even more dosh from the Grand Slams & are due to meet representatives of Wimbledon & t...
