Junior Rankings - Grade events

OK. This is a rare foray for me into the Junior section as I don't really start to follow players until they start to hit the futures circuit. But having played tennis in La Manga this week and come a cross some talented GB juniors who were talking about their ranking and the level of events that they had p...

With Jack Draper 16 (JCH 38) playing in Egypt and Jake Hersey 17 (JCH 143) both playing this week and Emma Radacanu 15 (JCH 45) doing so well last week, there seemed some value in a pooled thread just to bring things together. There is quite a deep cohort of juniors moving into transition. Such a thread m...

Hello, I'm new to the forum, my daughter is 6 years old and really enjoying her tennis lessons, I'm more a basketball fan myself so don't really know the tennis landscape so I wanted to know what the best tennis clubs are in London and also any advice in ensuring that she gets the right development.

I'd thought David would start a dedicated thread for this. (Hope everything's OK, David) But we should have one as it's more important this year, with Wimbly wildcards at stake (junior and adults) I thought it best to put the U16 and U18 together, as they follow on, one week to the next and they are the t...

As Christine said, it would nice if somehow she was made aware - to know that we're rooting for her and were dead impressed by her British Tour win. So it an...

This will be only the second Grand Slam of the year, and therefore has attracted a few players who might have otherwise given it a miss. Four girls could in theory enter with their WTA ranking (top 400), and two of these have done so (Daria Lopatetska and Emma Raducany - Coco Gauff and Clara Tauson being...

Also, Lois Newberry, also 2007, who has beaten the third seed, Lucy Webber, al...
