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...

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...

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...

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,...

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...

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...

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...

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. 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...

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...

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.

It struck me that, although I probably wouldn't at the moment have started a thread for either girl individually, as a pair, though, they are pretty special (and may be individually too soon): both young/very young, both WTA ranked, both on the way up. And - someone will correct me but I can't remember...
