Blu Baker
(Preview)
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. ...

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...

Ben Gusic Wan

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...

She's also improvi...

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?
