Jonny O'Mara
(

)
(Preview)
Couldn't find a thread for Jonny so I thought I would start one. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jonny this evening in La Manga. He was drafted in to take part in their regular Friday night exhibition match and turned up expecting to play some friendly light hearted doubles with some of the coaches...

Lauryn John-Baptiste
(Preview)
Lauryn comes from the East End of London and is a junior I saw play quite a bit (because she was London-based) A good athlete, a well-rounded game, good ball skills - a lot better than many of her cohort and (IMO) always in the 'interesting' group, if not in a 'stand-out' group. She managed to get hersel...

Nice little article on the BBC website about Gabby Taylor who seems to be over her mystery virus. Hope to see her back on the court soon but I suspect it will be a few months. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/36943166

Hollie Smart
(Preview)
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...

Amarni Banks
(

(Preview)
Marni has a lot of supporters, and has been a real tennis talent (IMO) for some time now. Aggressive game. Lots of rackethead speed. Spent a lot of time in Spain, honing her game. 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...

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...

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?

I know she's terribly young to have her own thread but I think this forum is going to be talking about Hephzibah an awful lot in the years to come so I'm starting a thread for her now. Having just turned 13 ten days ago (born 31 October 2007), she is an extremely impressive player and athlete - a strong girl,...

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...

Olivia Nicholls

I've been so impressed with Olivia Nicholls this Spring. Winning 4 doubles titles is so impressive and she's forming an exciting partnership with Sarah Beth Grey. Would you give the pair wild cards to the WTA British events? Or would you give it to established singles players (Hev, JoKo)? Arguably,...

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...

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...

It seems to me that Millie should have the ultimate honour of an Individual Player Thread Millie was a promising junior, but not an out-an-out star Now age 21, and having been in the US college system, she has developed really well her best points, the strength and power of her game. She's also improvi...

The possibility has been mentioned in passing on another thread, but now confirmed by the player himself: @Norriie: "first day of being British :) @GBtennis" To recap, Cameron is 17 and world junior no. 10, making him the new GB no. 1 in the ITF 18U rankings, usurping Luke Bambridge, whom...

With no sponsors Lissey has done well to get as far as she has, with her college career playing no small role in this, an...

As I spotted this in Alex Kay's Blog I thought I would copy the text for other interested posters. It was disheartening to hear that 17 year-old Tara Moore has been ejected from the LTA support system due to a perceived lack of commitment to being a professional tennis player. Not having come across h...
