When will the record be broken ? the earliest he can get to 15 slams and break the record is Wimbledon next year. Personally I'm going for US Open 2008...I think Nadal will still remain the man to beat on the clay next spring...Federer has the ability and game plan to beat him but its yet to be seen whether h...

So Lindsay Davenport wins a WTA title after over a year out of the game after having a baby..beating players like Jankovic and Hantuchova. On this form you wouldn't bet against her taking this week's title in China too ! She must be wishing she returned a little sooner and played the US Open ! Quite ama...

It's confirmed that they'll play in an exhibition in Malaysia on 22nd November, on indoor carpet "Roger is a true class act," said Sampras. "He is obviously a great player but his manners on and off the court set him apart just as much." They practised earlier in the year at Sampr...

Lindsay won 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 in Bali earlier today, amazing result...Jankovic was pretty wasted after the US open but even so, this is Lindsay's first tourney for goodness knows how long Jankovic was upset about a number of dodgy calls in the 3rd and lost it a bit Amazingly she is actually taking a break no...

Can be a slam, ATP, challenger, futures right down to British tour For me personally it's the Sutton 25K, great viewing facilities, got to know Nigel Sears and just generally had such a crazy, not to mention indiscreet time there....

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...

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).

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...
