It's coming up to Wimbledon again, the initial WCs are no doubt going to be announced on Wednesday, and understandably there has been quite a bit of discussion about who might get them.

MTF- a website full of trolls

I visited mens tennis forums for the first time in years yesterday. Does anyone else feel the community in there is riddled with trolls? When you read threads it really is irritating. People just come on and say, x player is crap, y player is crap as he does not do that, z player will wipe the floor etc. Ev...

What? My boring topic title didn't scare you away? I thought it would be interesting to see the global patterns of events that took place on the Pro Circuit for an entire year, by surface, level region, country, month, week etc. So, I did, and it turns out, for once, I was right! It was interesting! But, t...

Decline of Nordic tennis
(Preview)
In the last few years there really has been a shear decline in the standard of Nordic tennis. I believe Nordic tennis was all about touch and grace, and since the racket technology and sweet spots, and the advent of the huge hitting baseline game in the 00s, nordic tennis players have become and endang...

Brit of the Week: Week 13

In my opinion, a tough one this time around, with several players in with a shout. There's the girls in Miami, of course. Johanna Konta made the quarters, while Heather Watson made the fourth round. Whose run was more impressive? Meanwhile, Alex Ward picked up a second ITF title of the year in Tunis...

Interesting one this week: Jamie Murray doesn't win a game, but reaches World #1. Does that make him the frontrunner for this week's award?
