FEW PEOPLE were on hand in the tunnel at Flushing Meadows to witness one of the saddest tales in the history of the US Open. However, the vision of Rafael Nadal hobbling away after his exit from this years tournament took my mind back 26 years. It was 1981. I was a 16-year-old playing in the junior competi...

Sharapova is out in 3 sets to Radwanska, what a performance from the Pole. Certainly is the earliest exit for Sharapova in a slam for a long while. So there's certainly going to be a new US Open women's champ. I for one just cannot stand Sharapova and her screaming after every return and serve just so anno...

Apparently, from 2009 onwards - any top player who misses a Masters tournament (soon to be renamed '1000' tournaments) without good reason will be banned from their most successful tournament the following season. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/6971806.stm .. should make for som...

Henman plays Argentina's Juan Ignacio Chela in rd1 this afternoon. The Tiger will be hoping for his 2nd win since February ! Chela is an old foe, both players have 4 wins apiece. Chela won their 1st meeting 6-2,, 4-6, 6-3 in rd2 of Monte Carlo 2000 before Tim got revenge in rd3 of the same tourney 2 yrs late...

I've been allocated a couple of tickets on number 1 court for the second Thursday. Returns methinks. Now I enjoy watching most tennis, but it's actually fairly hard to get that time off work. Is it worth calling in a few favours to watch Juniors and Seniors matches, or should I let this go by. I'd appreci...

How much influence does the BBC have on the order of play each day? All broadcasters can put their requests for when they would like a match to be played via official systems at the club and those are then passed on to the referee's office. Clearly as host broadcaster, the BBC would like to feel we have a go...

Hello all, new member to the site although I follow the forums, mostly to see how the brits do in challengers and futures etc, especially the hardy souls that attempt to carve a path over in Spain, Phillips, Ward etc (I see them as kindred spirits as you can guess from my username). I'm a keen tennis pla...

What do you think about Tim's chances against Moya? Moya can be dangerous on grass. Tim's form is a little unpredictable but I think he is still a great grass court player. My tip Tim in 4.

The LTA seem to think so: The first round draw for the Mens Singles at Wimbledon has presented Sheffields Jonny Marray with a big hurdle in the diminuitive shape of Sebastien Grosjean. The 59" Frenchman from Marseille has an impressive pedigree at Wimbledon-twice before (2003, 2004) reachin...

Who is going to be heading to the All England Club in a couple of weeks to watch the odd hitabout? What day will you be going? Have you got show-court tickets or are you slumming it with the proles and queueing for a ground pass? I'm pretty certain that I'm going to go in on the Monday. I'm going to Glatonbury...

Hey guys, I'm thinking of going to see some tennis this weekend but not sure what to go for. Obviously will have to be either Surbiton finals or Queens qualies. A few questions I have though: Which day is the Surbiton final? If it's on the Saturday then which day do Queen's qualies start? Is that Sunday so...

So its Henman vs Gulbis. The veteran against the Grand Slam debutant. Ernests is at a career high of 84 in the world rankings. He has emerged pretty fast and is definitely a prospect though I don't think hee'll come anywhere neat the likes of Nole/Andy/Monfils etc.... Reached ATP St Petersburg semis o...
