Any ideas when we will see a schedule for next year on ITF & challengers for GB tournaments? All I can see on the ITF website is two ITF tournaments for the ladies a 10K and a 25K in Jan/Feb I'm interested to see the split as we have funny groupings. Men - 10-15 challenger/15K 10 - 15k/10K ...

Oli Golding has after almost 200 years since the tolpuddle martyrs formed the first trade union suggested the idea of a GB tennis players union it's never too late ! Now let's hope Russell brand loves tennis and we can start the Revolution. !

Have heard that there will be at least 2 BT events during the first half of the year with an increased prize pot of just over £8K, giving the winners £1,500 each and the runners up £800. Perhaps this is part of the new approach to funding.

Ok so not one of my favourite tennis reporters, way too sycophantic for my tastes. But I haven't seen or heard anything of him since the downfall, just wondered what he was up to.

I know it is perilious to predict what the ATP World Tour Finals Tournament Directors will decide, but what do we think are the chances of Murray vs Federer on Tuesday at 6pm? I have two free tickets for this session up for grabs on my facebook site "Born To Win Tennis" if anyone is intereste...

Hi there, I'm new to this forum, my name is John and I'm currently studying towards a Masters degree in sports engineering at University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.

Putting aside 1. the much older almost veteran Team Aegon 2013 singles players who received full funding, which arguably is preposterous (eg Anne K, Elena B, etc) 2. and the doubles specialist players who received funding, which arguably is not the appropriate focus for spending (eg Dominic I, Jon...

Just after a little advice. I and a few friends are up in London this weekend. Friday plans have fallen through, so looking at going to the tennis. What would be the chances of getting a day pass at Wimbledon and would it be a queue at 8am job? All advice would be welcomed and appreciated.
