When I was a child, my father used to take me to play tennis. We were on our way home one afternoon and listening to a tennis show on the radio. There was a former tour pro on--his name escapes me--and he had posed an interesting question:What is the most important shot in tennis?Caller after caller tried...

Mens- I think the mens title is probably the most open its been for a while. I think everyone is expecting Novak to take it, but he lost his last two finals and him losing in the final or SF wouldnt be a huge surprise to me. I really think handful of people could go on a run and have a chance at the title.irs.go...

So time everyone has waited for. Will follow up with some stats later but here is the poll , what do we all think? Hard to be too excited coming in, but you never know! Note, mixed doubles ARE included in this, just main draw events though, no qualies or juniors. Also note that a doubles win counts as one p...

JonH · JonH

So here is the rules: British wins across all 5 disciplines ie mens/womens singles and doubles and mixed!!! yay I hear you say! However, British wins count as 1 in doubles where it is a pair or 1 if it is a single player of a pair. ie Jamie and Neal winning equals 1 ; Andy and Herbert winning equals 1. So some...

JonH · JonH

Those who follow the main draw singles may have seen that I also keep a list of the qualifying wins we achieve in the various events. As this easily gets lost and also confuses, I felt it would be worthwhile to keep a separate tab. Last season, worth noting, we had 54 (yes 54) qualifying wins across the va...

How many wins in senior main draw events will we achieve in Australian open? Men's and ladies singles and doubles, not mixed!

With the grass season about to start in two weeks time, I felt it might be good to have a bit of fun. I wondered which British player, male or female, would have the most MAIN DRAW wins in a world ranking event (in the UK) over the grass court season. To remind folks, these are: Week 23 - Surbiton Trophy - men...

JonH · JonH

So as per the Australian Open, let's see what folks think we will achieve in Paris. Main draw singles and doubles , but not mixed. Also a win in doubles counts as the pair - eg Jamie and Bruno would be one win, Neal and Ken would also count as one win. Last year we managed 7 wins across the piece. In Melb...

Vandenburg · Vandenburg

5 British youngsters, but which do you think will have best career? Clarke- wins the odds challenger, but is so inconsistent Jubb- won some university thing in the states and has had a decent grass season, is he that good, or is he just taking advantage of grass court clowns, like Chris Eaton did? Jack D...

Mods - please don't move this thread into the predictions section until entries have closed.

Mods - please don't move this thread into the predictions section until entries are closed. It's that time of the year when things go a bit quiet and we look ahead to the annual competition when we try to predict the top 10 GB women and their respective rankings.

paulisi · paulisi

During the quiet period, it may be time to look at how you expect the 2017 rankings to pan out. Lots of things to think about Will Cam Norrie quit college and go pro? Who is going to call it a day? How quickly will Marcus Willis or Jay Clarke climb the rankings(assuming they do)? Who will transition from jun...

paulisi · paulisi

Predictions last year were notoriously difficult due to all the injuries - Katie Boulter, Laura Robson, Sam Murray, Jade Windley, Eleanor Dean etc and the fact that quite a few of the promising players failed to make the jump up to the next level Again this is difficult to call, so I might need some thin...

paulisi · paulisi

During the quiet period, it may be time to look at how you expect the 2016 rankings to pan out. Quiet a few of us fell foul to the Bedene switch, the likes of Tom Farquharson deciding to hardly play at all and the numerous injuries during the year that have held back players I need to have a think, but I might...

As it is now December, it may be wise to start a separate thread to predict 2105 male rankings. I know we had a board competition last time, but that is purely down for a volunteer if they wish to run again, but no reason why we shouldn't put down predictions again. Plenty of things to consider: Is Aljaz Be...

Hi All, I'm going to run (or at least try - so bear with me) the women's BOTP for this year's Wimby. The deadline is 11.30 on Monday. Good luck to one and all!

paulisi · paulisi

As freerider has started a male thread on rankings projections, I thought it only right to do something similar with the girls for rankings at the end of 2014: Here goes: 1. Laura Robson 38 2. Heather Watson 70 3. Jo Konta 105 4. Tara Moore 143 5. Sam Murray 179 6. Naomi Broady 196 7. Jade Windley 352 8. Lis...
