The long-running Trofeo Bonfiglio usually acts as a warm-up for most of the top Juniors prior to the French Open. Local Covid restrictions saw it postponed to July, where it now precedes the European Championships in Switzerland, or at least it does for most European nations. Unfortunately there...

Qualifying starts at Roehampton tomorrow for junior Wimbledon. Jasmine Conway is a direct entry, but unfortunately is in the same section as the Korean she lost to this week - who went on to the quarter-finals of the main draw. None of the Roehampton wildcards appear in qualifying, so are likely con...

Just as Roehampton started 2 days later, so does junior Wimbledon, with qualifying beginning tomorrow in Roehampton. None of the Roehampton main draw wildcards are in qualifying, so they are the most likely recipients of main draw wildcards. QR1 (q1) Sascha Gueymard Wayenburg (FRA) v (qWC) Matt...

The J5 event in Edinburgh this week is practically 100% British - there's barely a foreign player (less than in the 'closed' events we had earlier) I'm also assuming quite a few of the top entrants won't be there as they have/had wildcards into Wimbly (i.e. Issey Purser and Jaquie O, for instance, hav...

The traditional Wimbledon warm-up has been pushed back a couple of days this year with qualifying starting tomorrow and main draw on Tuesday. Jack Pinnington Jones and Lui Maxted are the only British direct acceptances - with the top qualifying seed currently JWR 42. William Nolan, Derrick Chen...

Qualifying starts on Sunday this year for the Roehampton Grade 1 event. Most of the qualifying seeds are ranked inside 100, with Matilda Mutavdzic the only British direct entry.

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...

The BIG event of this week is that young Hannah Klugman was voted May's Player of the Month (Joint), along with Cameron Norrie, top 50 in the world. 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...

This event is listed as outdoor, unlike last week's indoor. Many of the same players, obviously. A little shout out immediately for 2007-born Flora Johnson who has just put out the top seed, Jaquelyn Ogunwale, in two sets. Also, Lois Newberry, also 2007, who has beaten the third seed, Lucy Webber, al...

The second Austrian Grade 2 sees Lui Maxted elevated to second seed, so cannot meet last week's nemesis Jerome Kym until the final.

If at first you don't succeed......... Kylie Bilchev has been trying all month to qualify for a Grade 2 or 1 event and this time she has stormed through, losing only a handful of games. Her main draw could have been a lot kinder though. Derrick Chen's looks much more favourable, against a wildcard inexp...
