Hi everyone. I know that I am new here, but I have a proposal for everyone here: could ourselves, as British tennis fans, be a bit more proactive and have some fun as well? Would others be interested in banding together and producing a radio broadcast of, say, the semifinals/finals of the summer challe...

Tim needs one withdrawal to get in main draw. Probably Wawrinka won't play but he is on list. Does anybody know more about it?

He's outside the top 200 and is in the Barca quarters ! I can just imagine the dancing on the streets of Calcutta Andujar did get really jammy tho, he had hapless wc Salva-Vidal in rd1 and then Ferrero retired at 1-2 in rd2....wish Morgan Phillips could have had that draw !

Hi I have some spare French Open tickets available for the opening Sunday 27th May which I would like to sell on. I have three seats available on Court One at £30 each. Last year Tim Henman played on this court on day one Sunday and it was a really good atmosphere and I highly recommend them. I would prefer t...

I'm confused. I thought I heard on the radio that the LTA were discontinuing the wild card scheme and relying on players rankings. I am often wrong about things and a cursory glance hasn't shown any comments on this. Am I hearing voices again, or have I just failed to find the right thread.......

If you remember, everyone was saying that Murray's victory over Federer was purely because Federer played so awful and people were trying to take credit away from Andy. In many ways, it was disappointing to see the Fed lose to Canas because it meant Andy wasn't the only person other than Rafa to have be...

I don't know if everyone has realised it, but Tim Henman needs to win just eight more matches to get to the magical mark of 500 senior career wins. He'll be the first ever Brit and only the thirty fifth person ever to get there. 1222 - Jimmy Connors [USA] 1070 - Ivan Lendl [CZE/USA] 920 -- Guil...

Who do you think the players in the mix for this year's clay-court season will be ? Last year it was mainly just Federer and Nadal, Robredo managed to sneak Hamburg as both were too exhausted from Rome to compete. However, signs are that the tourneys this year will be a lot more open. Will Murray surpris...
