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...

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?

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I see Fed was down to play the IPTL series this winter but has withdrawn - BBC seems to suggest it is down to his knee still but further down it turns out the IPTL is having financial problems and that both Fed and Serena have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. Whatever the truth of it I do wonder whether we will see Fed again - actu...
