Jeremy Gschwendtner
(Preview)
The 26-year-old Londoner's results in ITF events have been hit & miss, to say the least: he's tended to focus on those in eastern Europe &, more often th...

(Preview)
According to OER and ATP we seem to have acquired a new player from AUS? Aged 29 with a current ranking of 806 (CH 702 in 2020). Anyone got any info on him and what this is all about - seems an odd move at this stage of his career?

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...

As I recall, Emma's main journey towards top tennis started with a J5 she won at age 13 (nearly 14) So Clarice Ouvarova deserves a thread She's born in 2010 but still age 13And has just won the singles AND the doubles in the J30 in the Dom RepI've never seen her play and there's not much info about her in Br...

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...

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,...

(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,...

Apologies if there's already a thread for Oliver but I couldn't find one. Anyway I just thought he deserved a shout out for getting to the final of the M15 in San Diego. Good luck in the final Oliver. Hopefully he's going to be another Billy Harris and start moving through the ranks.

A tall, slender girl, with good arm speed, nice technique, and a back-of-the-court game that gets goo...

Congrats to Blu on getting selected for sponsorship by Token Stars. It will be interesting to see what sort of year he has - there's definitely good potential there, and he's been a fave for a while, but one could argue that he is currently 'fully priced in', there's no 'rough diamond' argument there. ...
