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...

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.
