Nadal to play Halle in 2012
(Preview)
Apparently Rafa will be playing Halle in 2012 after the organisors offered him an appearance fee of roughy £750,000. The total prize money offered is only a little over £500,000. I really hope people remember this next time Rafa complains about having to play too much.

Quite interesting?
(Preview)
There have been 26 Grand Slams since Roland Garros in 2005. There have been a total of only 4 different winners. In the previous 26 Grand Slams, there were 13 different winners, including such unlikely candidates as Thomas Johansson and Gaston Gaudio. (Oh that 2004 Roland Garros semi between Henner...

Fixing the wimbledon live scores page
(Preview)
If like me you hate the layout of the Wimbedon live scores page, the following will change things so that if you have a wide screen monitor, it will use the full screen width to attempt to fit all courts on screen. 1. In Firefox or Chrome, download the "stylish" extension and goto its options p...

Apparently for 3 weeks, for shoving an umpire. But he could still play in the Aussie Open as it's not run by the ATP. Eh? Story here

LTA Funding 2011

(Apols if this thread is buried somewhere else) Tara tweeted the other day that she was waiting for a call from the LTA to see whether her funding had been reinstated. Does anyone know what the result was? I assume everyone found out at the same time?

Whatever has happened to the 1989 and 1990 guys ?

No, this is not a rant at GB players not coming through, and most of us would probably agree that the 1990 born in particular is one of GB's better years ( Evans, Smethurst, Cox, Alex Ward, Pauffley ) What it is is a wonder at what has happened to the whole world's 1989 and 1990 borns ! I was aware it wasn't...

Tennis Siblings
(

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'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?)

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...
