Hi been playing on and off for many, many years starting fairly seriously in the '50s, but now I'm semi retired I'm much more into golf with a steady handicap of around + 14/15 or so, which I've also played for years and which is nowadays shall we say just a little less strenuous....?

Here's an article i just found regarding Tim Henman's views on British junior development. I though it was worth sharing because part of it echoes what Naomi Cavaday was saying in her blog regarding transitioning. Plus it represents the most I've heard Henman elaborate on this topic. Apologies if y...

Interesting, honest, and, to me at least, slightly upsetting, piece about Andrea Petkovic - one of the most eloquent, intelligent, funny and well liked players on the WTA tour - and the emptiness tennis life can bring to a curious soul.

For anyone who has not seen Josh's website, there is a very good blog about his coaching with Harry and his new job. www.joshuagoodall.com Definitely worth a read for anyone who is not aware of Josh's coaching.

I don't know about others but while I really appreciate being able to follow a lot of the challengers etc. for free at places like https://livestream.com/ATP I really miss having commentary on them.

I was just doing a quick check of career prize money for Murray vs Wawrinka * and something just struck me - has anyone ever seen a list of career ranking points? It seems unlikely to me that anyone has ever bothered to do this but obviously it could have an advantage over prize money comparisons in that in...

That is helping players move into the professional game. In this time I have helped 42 players get their first s...

I'm guessing the LTA are looking at scheduling for next year and hopefully it will not be the mess it was on the Women's side this year. The men's side was pretty well represented as we had a lot of players knocking on the doors of challengers and plenty of challengers were put on. I see no reason to change...

I put this in general as its men and women mixed. I think we all know that we may have just the one Brit in round two but I suspect most of us are a little more optimistic. There are a couple of favourable draws for the Broady's, I actually think James Ward may top his Davis Cup performance and that Laura Robs...

I don't know enough detail about how elite tennis funding works, but from what i can gather if you hit the targets in the matrix you are in line for either A or B funding and appeals can be made if players can justify not reaching the ranking target i.e injury I think this is perfectly feasible at junior l...
