Hi all, I've been biting my lip on this for some time, and better start by clearly stating that I am not a medical practitioner, sports physiowhatchamacallit, tennis professional, or sober. Hence this damburst... Has anybody else clocked the number of our players who have been incapacitated by a m...

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. Other than Serena Williams, the top 20 women are very much of a much...

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...

Hi, I have the day off today so decided I would go to bed at a more normal hour and watch the Evans v Vanni match this morning (then see if there was anything to watch of Wardy's match too) but looking on the Australian Open live stream on youtube - which I hoped would would start with Evo's match given people...

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 £...

Hi all, I'm an experienced blogger, having run a successful music blog for almost three years before graduating from university, and my feeling is that the time has come to move onto another project outside of work. In summary, I wondered if any of you believed it to be a good idea to start what would ess...

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?
