Arthur Fery
(

(Preview)
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.

Jan Choinski
(
1 2 3 4
)
(Preview)
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...

Henry Searle
(

(Preview)
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...

Mika Stojsavljevic
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 7

(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...

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...

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...

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!

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...

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.

I think it might be an auspicious time to start a thread for Max .... I first watched him on some livestream when he was in Spain, and was impressed. And then on the livestream for the UP Pro League, or one of those events during lockdown, and was VERY impressed. Then saw a bit of livestream from one of the UT...

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...

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...
