Naomi Broady
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 9
)
(Preview)
I'm sure Naomi has a previous dedicated thread, but I cannae find it. So as she's apparently entered her prime, and the WTA top 100, (rising to CH95 next week), here is one... This just to say that she's tweeted that she's on Radio 5 live at 1pm today.

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...

Hi - where is Dan Evans? Have been away but can't find him on in the entry forms. Sorry if duplicating an other thread!

Mark Ceban
(

(Preview)
Always a bit random with the youngsters as to whose individual player page will still be up in the mix in five years time, and whose will have sunk without trace, but... Mark Ceban is born 2009, tall and willowy, has just won the U14 Bolton event, and has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, reall...

Billy Harris
(

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
(

(Preview)
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,...

Katie Swan

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...

Alice Gillan
(Preview)
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.

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...

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...

We don't seem to have a thread for Ryan(?) but he does fly under the radar a bit. Ryan has had a sort of break through season but by hard graft and consistency rather than one big tournament. He started the 2021 picking up points at futures levels and 5 or 6 times qualified for challengers but could not w...

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...

Hollie Smart

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...

He had an SE for the...

Maybe in two years time, Eva will have 'fizzled' and become one of our many decent college level players, but nothing more. Which is fine and there's nothing wrong with that ..... 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...

Hi all, Anyone know if Paul is playing in any more tournaments soon after his great run on the East European Clay this past month? Just curious if younger players are looking to up their ranking this year so they can get out of the Transition Tour easier when it takes over next year?
