Oliver Bonding
(

)
(Preview)
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...

(Preview)
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...

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...

As she's just won a J1 singles event (and the doubles), which is pretty rare and top level, and taken over the number one slot, Ella MacDonald deserves a thread of her own Born in 2005, Ella is the daughter of ex-pro footballer, Neil MacDonald (Preston, Everton, Newcastle.....) She's been one of the LT...

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

I wrote a piece about up and coming junior Harry Wendelken this week on the back of a successful year. I spoke to him, his coach and his parents to try to get a rounded view on what it's like to be coming through as a junior. After a good showing for him at Sweden this week I thought it might be quite timely to po...

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...

Time for a thread for young Talia (born 2005) ..... At age 16, being a wildcard, and in only her second adult ITF event, she has made it all the way to final in the 25k at Birmingham this week, before losing in three sets. An amazing week for her. Talia has had some nasty injuries in recent years. Fractured...

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...

Hannah Klugman

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...

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...

Not having come across h...

Based at the NTC for a while. Now back at Bolton tennis academy full-time, I believe. Rather hampered by injury in the last few...
