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.

Hi - where is Dan Evans? Have been away but can't find him on in the entry forms. Sorry if duplicating an other thread!

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...

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.

Maybe in two years time, Eva will have 'fizzled' and become one of our many decent college level players, but nothing more. Which is fine and there's nothing wrong with that ..... BUT it's just possible that tomorrow (first round of qualis at Wimbly) will be a sea change sort of day. And it seems to me we s...

Oliver appears not yet to have a dedicated thread. I think he deserves one in recognition of the fact that he made what I presume was his debut on the Challenger circuit on Saturday at the tender age of 16 (he turns 17 tomorrow) courtesy of a qWC for the Lexus Trophy 125 event in Ilkley, where he lost in thr...

Noticed Toby doesnt have a page and thought I would start one by saying that Toby is actually 2nd in the Race - which seems mad but it started post the Tour Finals and Toby is on 115 points, just 6 behind Argentine Federico Gomez. Go, Toby!

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.

Hugo is an unranked 18-year-old who hails from Sevenoaks &, as a qWC, has been making waves at the Nottingham M25 this week, first qualifying by beating his fellow 18-year-old, Phoenix Weir (WR 1704), then Mike Shaw (WR 1265), both in straight sets, backing it up by despatching Ali Gray (WR 618, b...

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.

I was looking to copy Grachka's post in the Wimbledon Wild Cards thread on Fran Jones to her individual thread when I realised she hasn't had a thread opened yet. It's a really great thread, and since I hope there will be plenty more news on Fran's progress in the coming weeks/ years, I'm opening one for h...

A big welcome to the professional rankings for 19 year-old, Alicia Dudeney 03/10/22 - WTA 1221 (with 8 points) A tall, slender girl, she's always had a good serve and strong groundshots. And did particularly well at junior Wimbledon (the grass suiting her). She made the QFs in 2021. But she was alway...

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...

The girls seem to be chalking up a fair few dedicated threads, so I thought it was time to begin to redress the balance with one marking the exploits of Rhys Lawlor, who, at the tender age of 16, took full advantage of a qWC for the M25 in Sheffield this week not only to reach the main draw, but also to reach th...

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).
