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. 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...

Couldn't find an individual thread for him. Just saw on his Instragram that he had an operation on his elbow after playing with pain since January in case this hasn't been posted elsewhere.

In the same vein as skibbarriz, here's an article from the beginning of this year that provides some background on Mandy Carreras. I see she is also still lined up for a start in Prague next week, so I hope she is now finally coming through her wrist injury too that put her out of the grass court season. Fro...

Jasmine (born 2004) come from Herts, I think.

And then (rather in Eden Silva style), she basically stopped playing juniors and...

I've been seeing his name in green late on in weeks lately on openerarankings, so I thought I'd start a thread as I'd love to find out more about him. Is he another to watch? Does he have a chance of getting right up there? What's his history etc?

Vandenburg · Vandenburg

I've decided to start an individual thread thread for Gregory Howe, given the fact he is back in fame. If Josh Goodall, get's his own thread, so should Howe, given that they both achieved success on the futures tour.

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...

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...
