There doesn't appear to be a thread for Jack Draper so here's one for people to contribute to. I will start by pointing out that Jack has made the shortlist for BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year

There's a junior exhibition (I'm guessing) going on at Queen's Club during the tournament and so a quick shoutout to Arthur who beat the JWR 9 today. What a good few months the kid has had.

Always a bit random with the youngsters as to whose individual player page will still be up in the mix in five years time, and whose will have sunk without trace, but... Mark Ceban is born 2009, tall and willowy, has just won the U14 Bolton event, and has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, reall...

Apologies if there's already a thread for Oliver but I couldn't find one. Anyway I just thought he deserved a shout out for getting to the final of the M15 in San Diego. Good luck in the final Oliver. Hopefully he's going to be another Billy Harris and start moving through the ranks.

Edie is our youngest WTA ranked player and deserves her thread She is now WR 1111 (which is a cool number

) Born in March 2009, Edie comes from Upminster, I believe An attacking game, that has shown a lot of improvement in the last couple of years

Mimi Xu is (with Hep) the other extremely promising prospect we have amongst our young female players. She also is born 2007. Comes from Swansea. And has been a top LTA prospect for several years. I was very impressed when I saw her in the U18 nationals. The thing that stands out is her physique - she is...

Well, it's got to be done..... Sonay Kartal, age 19, has just won the ITF 15 title in Turkey, and deserves her own thread. A promising youngster, who played a lot against/with Emma Raducanu as a tiddler and young teenager, she's had a few injuries issues and, for whatever reason, didn't travel abroad...

Everyone knows about Billy and his 'Billy-van'. And Bob's famous laundry service. But there was an interesting article about his recently in the French press (about Billy, that is, not Bob ) and the Isle of Man tennis club site put up a translation: Harris, the Atypical Englishman : Having left Engl...

It seems to me that Millie should have the ultimate honour of an Individual Player Thread Millie was a promising junior, but not an out-an-out star Now age 21, and having been in the US college system, she has developed really well her best points, the strength and power of her game. She's also improvi...

Mika is a late 2008-born player. Plays lots of sports. Has only releatively recently decided to specialise in tennis. Tall-ish, athletic girl. A slightly 'deliberate' sort of style. But it's obviously developing. Coached by Lewandowski (and maybe others) - and hence an LTA favourite. She re...

I suddenly realised that Matilda doesn't have her own thread - now that can't be right Matilda (born 2004) won her first adult ITF 15k title a few weeks ago, and got herself a nice starter WTA ranking too (WTA 1028) She's now ranked Junior ITF 24 She's the LTA's top girl hope (leaving aside Emma Raducanu...

Henry (born 2006) has to have a thread of his own because, as of today, 16th July 2023, he won the Boys' Junior Wimbledon singles title. This is the first time for GB in over 60 years. Not only that, he won every round in two sets, with first serves today of 134 and 132 mph - this was the quickest serve recorde...

I've been so impressed with Olivia Nicholls this Spring. Winning 4 doubles titles is so impressive and she's forming an exciting partnership with Sarah Beth Grey. Would you give the pair wild cards to the WTA British events? Or would you give it to established singles players (Hev, JoKo)? Arguably,...

Hannah is the talk of young tennis, worldwide. She's only 12. Born 2009. She's a tall-ish girl, with a super serve, especially given her age, moves well, very lucid, turns defence into attack very effectively. Her match in Les Petits As (the top world event for U14s) against the other 2009-born sta...

I noticed on the new (17 Dec) ATP rankings that Jan Choinski is showing as having switched from Germany to GB, and he is also now shown as British on the ITF site, so it may actually be true. He is 22, current singles ranking 270 (CH 234 in Apr), which would make him GB no. 7 between Andy and Liam. His doubles r...

Jake appears not to have a dedicated thread, but given that he won his second ITF title in Esch-sur-Alzette last weekend (his first being in Edgbaston last October, when he had to qualify & went on to beat Kyle in straight sets in the final) (both M25s), I thought he deserved one. He had an SE for the...

Love him or hate him, it was announced in an article in today's Times that Castle is being bounced out of the BBC tennis team after Wimbledon.
