Mika Stojsavljvic
(Preview)
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...

Luca Pow
(Preview)
As he's our 2022 U18 National Champion (having beaten the defending champion, Will Jansen), and will be playing Adult Wimbly Qualis, it's time to have a thread for Luca Pow. He also won the U18 doubles title, with Henry Searle. And previously won the U12 and U14 nationals too. Currently at the Loughb...

Zach Stephens
(Preview)
I thought I'd just post this because I went down a bit of a wormhole after seeing Zach in the main draw of the National Juniors and not really knowing anything about him. He seemed to be doing pretty well last season, getting to the 200s in juniors then not playing for a while (GCSEs? Injuries? Focusing o...

Ben Gusic Wan
(Preview)
Born 2007, Ben has had a lot of followers in the junior threads, largely thanks to (a) his exuberance on court, (b) his excellent timing and vision of the game and (c) not being the tallest of lads But today, 7th April, he won the national championships - and that's time for his own thread British Nation...

Just in case anybody subscribes to The Times, is prepared to cough up a quid for a day's access to the web site or can get to a library which still offers a selection of daily papers (or at least what used to be the broadsheets), there was a lovely article by Neil Harman (OldEchoMan when he posts on this site...

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...

Jasmine Conway
(Preview)
Jasmine (born 2004) come from Herts, I think. She was a player that we called out in the juniors thread here a couple of years back, as someone who should be on the radar (and she then made rapid progress, up to winning a J2). And then (rather in Eden Silva style), she basically stopped playing juniors and...

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'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.

Perhaps this could have gone in the US College thread but Ali doesn't appear to have his own thread yet, so I thought this achievement warranted this at least. Ali won the Hall of Fame Invitational for college players and so guaranteed himself a WC into the MD of the Newport ATP 250 next year. http://www...

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...

High time we had an Eliz thread. As I have just posted in the W100 Shrewsbury thread following her ground out 3 set L16 win over (7) Misaki Doi WR 150: Super by Eliz. Last week's Shrewsbury SF and now this W100 QF sees her up from WR 500 to live 389! Yesterday's doubles R1 win with Lauryn also sees her into the...

She's been one of the LT...

William Jansen
(Preview)
Will Jansen was the GB U18 champion in 2021, when a year young, although he did not win the title in 2022. He was born in December 2004 (so a very young 2004-er), is in his last year of juniors, and will finish the year as GB's top boy player. Based in Middlesex, I believe. I know little about him - although I...
