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...

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

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...

Surprisingly, did not seem to have a pre-existing thread. WTA did a featurette on Ms. Boulter (duration 02:19) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1gyCi7KnpM

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...

Andy Murray's management company have added Jack to their books I didn't realise Paul Jubb and Harriet were also signed up as well as Aidan and Katie S.

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...

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...

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 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

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...

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...

I cannot find a thread for Alice Gillan, who has just broken into the top 500. She has an interesting background story according to her linked in page as she has a law degree. In addition to my dual career in law and tennis, I run a small baking business which provides me with a creative outlet.

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.
