Now Konta is out (sigh), who is everyone's player of the month for March? I think it's been a bit weird this season - the top 100 players (bar Kyle) aren't getting the results, but when you look outside the top 100 there's so much to be positive about! I've done a fun little vote https://thebigracket.org...
New thread to try as much as possible to separate general coronavirus discussion, re such as stats and policy, from tennis related coronavirus discussion on such matters as say tournaments and rankings.
Heather has drawn Jennifer Brady, Jo has drawn Bouzkova. They could play in Last 8. Serena is top seed and will play Venus or Azarenka in round 2! -- Edited by JonH comes home on Sunday 9th of August 2020 07:13:27 AM-- Edited by JonH comes home on Sunday 9th of August 2020 07:15:04 AM
Don't seem to have a thread on this although I see some posts in the Brexit thread. ATP and WTA announced precautionary measures including no signing of tennis balls, no holding hands with mascots, ball girls and boys to be given gloves, and one I hope they keep on with; ball-girls and boys not to hand to...
Here is a challenge that has been set by Marcus Willis on Twitter this morning. You might like to try it. His challenge is simply, NAME THE 15. No cheating by looking up Yaz Clarke's answer sheet on Twitter. I am ashamed to admit, I got 1 and guessed 1. But that was all.
This is partly a little bit of personal bragging but also a genuine question. Before lockdown, around xmas, I invested in a running machine at home. Did it on and off, but first week of lockdown I found myself boozing too much so decided to really make an effort. In 5 foot 8 or 9, 173cm ish, and weighed...
This pretty topical and fortunately getting lots of press because of the plight of Dulwich Hamlet FC, there are lots of great things about Hamlet, they get massive support for step 3 (the 7th tier of English Football) gates often North of 1500 generally a good gate at that level is 300-450. It is a genui...
Long overdue I think, better than bundling all sorts into the Leeds and non league thread. I see, after all the speculation, Graham Potter has just left Swansea to join Brighton, signing a 4 year deal. I know everyone wants to progress in their career / life and the lure of the Premier League would be big...
Been a long time since I got to start a thread like this. L48: Jay Clarke WR 167 vs Dmitry Popko (KAZ) WR 176 (CH 167 Feb 20) Jay missed out by 1 spot on a seeding with 16th seed being Stephen Diaz WR 165. He may have got that seeded spot but for Stan Wawrinka being given a WC. Clearly he is Nº1 seed, If Jay gets t...
Stuart, who turned 23 at the end of last month, doesn't appear to have a dedicated thread, so I thought I'd start one, given the amount of success (seven wins) he's enjoyed in the UTR Pro Series in France this month. He's beaten:Laurent Lokoli (WR 358/CH = 207 in April 2015) (3 & 5, 3/8),Gleb Sakhar...
Friday sees the start of the 2020 BT at Loughborough University. Unusually this year there are two tournaments before the end of the year as opposed to the usual one, giving someone the chance to be top of the leaderboard before the year has even started!It's a Tier 2 event with Marcus Walters as top se...
Unless I've missed something there's no dedicated thread for Joe. I think this article by Stu Fraser in today's Times makes it worth starting one, as there's...

For my own amusement, I thought I would try and keep track of the top tennis nations over the course of the year and see where GB stacked up. Being honest, my main interest is the mens game, so I planned to track the week by week average rankings of the top 10 players in each of the key countries and see if GB ma...
Seems we have a number of Leeds fans on here so I thought we deserved our own thread Greatest team of all time: 1) Gary Sprake 2) Paul Reaney 3) Terry Cooper 4) Billy Bremner 5) Jack Charlton 6) Norman Hunter 7) Peter Lorimer 8) Allan Clarke 9) Mick Jones 10) Jonny Giles 11) Eddie Gray 12) Paul Madeley (Supe...
Where has she gone? Since claiming she is waiting for british citizenship she hasn't played. Is she injured? Or has she gone on the run with LTA funding?
Putting some initial threads up for events as they start to come back. I haven't gone through saying which British player in playing where, just the events as I know them that are taking place and may include a British presence: I have kept the British Tour and UK Pro Series events away from here as the...
New season for the British Tour, so time for a new thread. First event (after the Masters) was Loughborough, Tier 2, 20th-23rd December 2019, where Jasmine Conway beat Holly Staff in the final 2-6 6-3 [10-7] Second event is Graves, in Sheffield, also Tier2, 27th-30th December 2019. Top seeds are:- 1...

An interesting and very honest (by the looks of it) interview with Dan Cox in the Lincolnshire Echo. http://bit.ly/dancoxbr -- Edited by steven on Tuesday 10th of February 2015 10:13:17 AM
Liam topping off a much improved spell recently by qualifying and then reaching semis in Aptos 100k Challenger. Sensational 1st round win over Bemelmans followed by straight forward wins against two pretty decent draws. Hope he can make the final. Has he made a Ch Final before?
