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...

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.

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...

There is a question on the Beeb board about Anna Smith, age 17, who up to now was a British player (in fact, she played last week in the Sunderland Challenger as British. However, the WTA website, who apparently did have her as British, now list her as Swedish! Does anybody know if this is...

I can now exclusively reveal for this site, the saddening news that Adam Lownsbrough has retired at the age of just 22. The great man is agonisingly just 12 defeats short of the world record for most consecutive losses which is currently held by Argentina's Diego Beltranena. Mr Lownsbrough...

from ADZ on another thread Couldn't find a page for Luke Bambridge so posting here. I was looking at Dom's insta and there are a couple of photos with Luke talking about their next careers.

Unfortunately this may be a short thread. I couldn't find one for him anywhere so started this one. Dom has announced his retirement from tennis. Perhaps not the most gifted doubles player ever but always wore his heart on his sleeve and played with passion. Louis Cayer once told me that Dom was the '...

I've just realised that poor Felix doesn't have his own thread..... which must be rectified Felix and Arthur are currently our best two 2002-ers, despite having been nowhere in the LTA lists several years ago and overshadowed by players far more heralded (by some).

Phoenix deserves his own thread as not only does he have a cool name but, as of 31 Jan 2022, he has entered the adult singles rankings, aged just 16, and thoroughly deservedly too. 31/01/22 - Singles ATP 1777 Many of us have been watching his progress in juniors, but it was at Bath ITF 25 that people reall...

A proper British - in the sense of the way he plays - tennis player. Can't say I know anything about him but I like his game. Picking up Challenger wins now and merits his own thread.

OK. Not a player but thought he deserved his own thread here for his contribution to GB tennis - doubles in particular. So pleased to see that he has been awarded an MBE for his services.

This is one of these threads that might die a death - or be the one with most hits in 5 years time. Cassius Haye is the son of David Haye, the British world champion boxer.
