I've been thinking about siblings in tennis and over the years it's raised a few curious questions in my mind. I'd like to know what other people think. 1) Why are there so many more same gender siblings in tennis as opposed to opposite gender sibs? Is it pure chance or is there a reason? 2) Is the younger s...

I've recently been re-watching some of my favourite matches from ages ago that I had recorded, and it got me to thinking: What are your favourite matches?

I'm heading to the station to get a train to London. I'll be in the queue tomorrow morning. Exciting times. Can someone alleviate my random memory loss - there's no particular dress code for a ground pass is there? i.e. I'm ok to wear shorts? (Will they let you in to CC in shorts?) Gutted Andy and Jamie are...

It's an "exho" so not necessarily considered a 'serious' topic for discussion. However, this year has thrown up some surprises - not least Dustin Brown who played a corker of a match against Verdasco and is most unusual to watch! Davydenko and Tsonga seem to be fit again. And today saw the r...

Can anyone direct me towards the actual entry list for this? I mean the pdf file where it lists direct entry and then a long list of Alternates underneath?

Inspired by Kim Clijsters, Justine Henin is also going to make a comeback and re-enter women's tennis. Even though she only went into retirement 16 months ago, Henin says that Clijsters' incredible victory at the US, and the pair's old rivalry, has inspired her to have another go. Do people think tha...
