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.

Where to get more commentary for matches involving Brits
(Preview)
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.

How are junior ranking calculated?

Career prize money vs career ranking points
(Preview)
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...

I hope you can forgive my indulgence here, but sometimes personal experiences can paint a broader picture. For the whole of my coaching career I have worked in a niche part of British tennis. That is helping players move into the professional game. In this time I have helped 42 players get their first s...

Looking for ADVICE! :) New tennis racket options?

Hey guys I am desperate for some advice on which tennis racket to purchase. I have a horrific tennis racket currently. I am 23 years old and just starting out in tennis, I am fairly strong and quick on the court. If I had to admit my current flaws it would be hitting the ball too hard! :) I am working on it! I a...

Fixture scheduling 2016
(Preview)
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...

Wisdom on the queue

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post a question ... but a friend is very much wanting to get a grounds pass for the men's finals and wondered when one had to start to queue for that. I rather suspect that if anyone knows, it will be the people on this board. Any advice?

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...
