Katie Swan
(

)
(Preview)
I thought I'd start a new thread for her as I am guessing we will be following her in the years to come. I'm pretty exited by what I hear, talent and temperament  Living in the US (why do all our good players have to have a few years away from the UK???) I hear Judy's already looking to put her in the Fed cup te...

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

Ahead of this week's Nottingham 10K, the LTA have interviewed Emily: Paddington Tropicana Tour winner Emily Webley-Smith says she is excited to be fully fit again after four years of on-off injury problems and three operations on her right ankle. The 22-year-old, who with British No.1 Anne Keotha...

Mika Stojsavljevic
(
1 2 3 4 5
)
(Preview)
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...

Ok, I know this is another post giving threads to babies in their cradles but.... I've had a strong interest in Megan Knight since she won the U12 National Championships in 2022, despite being a year young (which makes a big difference at that age). (I think she also made the semis of the U12 a year before...

Mimi (Mingge) Xu
(

(Preview)
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...

The Paskauskas Sisters

It struck me that, although I probably wouldn't at the moment have started a thread for either girl individually, as a pair, though, they are pretty special (and may be individually too soon): both young/very young, both WTA ranked, both on the way up. And - someone will correct me but I can't remember...

Liam topping off a much improved spell recently by qualifying and then reaching semis in Aptos 100k Challenger. Sensational 1st round win over Bemelmans followed by straight forward wins against two pretty decent draws. Hope he can make the final. Has he made a Ch Final before?

Hollie Smart

I've a feeling that Hollie Smart's name is going to be a frequent one on this forum in years to come. So it's about time she had her own thread. Hollie was born in June 2009. She's a tall, slender girl. Plays quite a defensive game. After Hannah Klugman, she is pretty much the LTA's top pick for her age (alth...

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.

Hi all, Anyone know if Paul is playing in any more tournaments soon after his great run on the East European Clay this past month? Just curious if younger players are looking to up their ranking this year so they can get out of the Transition Tour easier when it takes over next year?

According to OER and ATP we seem to have acquired a new player from AUS? Aged 29 with a current ranking of 806 (CH 702 in 2020). Anyone got any info on him and what this is all about - seems an odd move at this stage of his career?
