Individual Player Threads

Michael D · Michael D

I was looking to copy Grachka's post in the Wimbledon Wild Cards thread on Fran Jones to her individual thread when I realised she hasn't had a thread opened yet. It's a really great thread, and since I hope there will be plenty more news on Fran's progress in the coming weeks/ years, I'm opening one for h...

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...

Couldn't find a thread dedicated to Anton in the Juniors forum, so decided to start one here, & I had heard so little about him & was intrigued to see something of his background reported in yesterday's London Evening Standard: Analyst uses City skills to power his teen son to stardom A financ...

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.

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,...

Has anyone seen this guy play ? Is he a future prospect in singles or just a doubles specialist ?

I suddenly realised that Matilda doesn't have her own thread - now that can't be right Matilda (born 2004) won her first adult ITF 15k title a few weeks ago, and got herself a nice starter WTA ranking too (WTA 1028) She's now ranked Junior ITF 24 She's the LTA's top girl hope (leaving aside Emma Raducanu...

Stuart, who turned 23 at the end of last month, doesn't appear to have a dedicated thread, so I thought I'd start one, given the amount of success (seven wins) he's enjoyed in the UTR Pro Series in France this month. He's beaten:Laurent Lokoli (WR 358/CH = 207 in April 2015) (3 & 5, 3/8),Gleb Sakhar...

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...

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

Just heard this story on BBC radio this morning. It appears that this 108 ranked Slovenian will switch his allegiance to Britain! Link below: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/tennis/27333443 -- Edited by Ben W on Friday 9th of May 2014 06:23:56 PM

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

Bad news about Alex, I'm afraid. He's cracked a bone in his radius so he's going to be out for a few months. Such a shame as he was going so well.

As I hadn't spotted Andrew Bettles (third member of the 2009 Junior Davis Cup finalists with Oliver Golding and George Morgan) on any lists since withdrawing from a number of tournaments last summer, or seen anything posted about him I thought I would do a little research.

It may have been noted elsewhere but since Lissey doesn't have a thread yet, and her career is improving, here is the interesting Big Racket interview that Steven has tweeted a link to.
