There are TONS of potential people to note here. I'd been keeping a list but it's not complete and so I've given up.... So just a little shout out today to Andy Bettles who seems to be doing a great job in Svitolina's corner, at the Aussie open. Good to see him, as one of our college boys, making a good living...
I have just posted this response to some points made in the WTA Rome thread. It is essentially about the little discussed issue of lack of depth and young prospects among the British men, as against much general discussion about our women. Any other thoughts regarding this issue and such as what needs...

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...

But Given is in the MD. Cyprus, J4: Josh Manuel (age 15) has made the hop over from Africa last week, and got a win in R1 here...
With all of this talk of the labour red wall falling down, in 2019 general election, and the Hartlepool by-election win for the Tories was the latest example of this. Are we really surprised. Populist leaders, like Trump, Le Pen and also Boris, appeal to the lowest common denominator, as they are tak...
