Brit of the Week: Week 8
(Preview)
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".

Is it just me or does there seem to be a drop in the standard and depth in the world game? Let me provide some examples starting with the women's game and no disrespect to the players mentioned - these are just examples, I can find many more.

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
(Preview)
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 £...

Interesting 2013 Henman article on British junior development
(Preview)
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...

Human Interest - Andrea Petkovic
(Preview)
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.
