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...
As she's just won a J1 singles event (and the doubles), which is pretty rare and top level, and taken over the number one slot, Ella MacDonald deserves a thread of her own Born in 2005, Ella is the daughter of ex-pro footballer, Neil MacDonald (Preston, Everton, Newcastle.....) She's been one of the LT...

Noticed Toby doesnt have a page and thought I would start one by saying that Toby is actually 2nd in the Race - which seems mad but it started post the Tour Finals and Toby is on 115 points, just 6 behind Argentine Federico Gomez. Go, Toby!
It?s that time again, to try and predict how many wins GB achieves at the Australian Open across the 5 main draws. All British wins count for one, in doubles if it?s part of a pair or a whole pair, it is just 1 win. Entries will close 5.15pm Saturdayrecent roll of honour:AO 2023 - 20 winsFO 2023 - 15 winsWi...
The player of the season vote will take place in early January. Most of the contenders will come through the player of the month votes and other means, like winning a slam title or being British number one. We have a list of 22 players already qualified, at the bottom of this post. However, there will be...
Time to start scratching your heads and come up with your predictions for 2025. We had 38 entries last year, almost the same as the previous year. It would be great to see a few more taking part this year, especially from some of the more recent and more active members. The closing date for entries is midn...
Time to start scratching your heads and come up with your predictions for 2026. We had 36 entries in 2025 which was 11 less than the women's competition, so I hope more will take part this time around. The closing date for entries is midnight on Saturday Dec 27th as I will be out of the country for the foll...

We had just 29 entries last year, so I hope more will take part this time around. he closing date for entries is midnight on Friday Dec 27th as I will be out of the country for the following week. So you have 2 weeks to get your ent...
Ok, I know this is another post giving threads to babies in their cradles but....I've had a strong interest in Megan Knight since she won the U12 National Championships in 2022, despite being a year young (which makes a big difference at that age). (I think she also made the semis of the U12 a year before...
Everyone knows about Billy and his 'Billy-van'. And Bob's famous laundry service. But there was an interesting article about his recently in the French press (about Billy, that is, not Bob ) and the Isle of Man tennis club site put up a translation: Harris, the Atypical Englishman :Having left Engl...
QR1:- Ava Williamson (GBR) UNR/443 [Q13] v Bye Katy Dunne is in the main draw acceptance list, but I don't expect her to play after her run in Sharm in Week 50
QR1: Facundo Grasso (ARG) UNR vs (q12) Luke Hooper WR 1508 (CH = 1476 in September) QR1: Barney Fitzpatrick UNR vs (q10) Arthur Bellegy (FRA) WR 1469 (CH = 1432 in September) QR1: Maxwell Castle UNR vs (q13) Mihai Alexandru Coman (ROU) WR 1514 (CH = 1273 in July last year) QR1: Casper Nicolle UNR v...
Time to start scratching your heads and come up with your predictions for 2026. We had 47 entries last year, which was the most since I have been running this competition. It would be great to get above 50 this year, especially if some of the more recent and more active members would enter. The closing d...

A big welcome to the professional rankings for 19 year-old, Alicia Dudeney 03/10/22 - WTA 1221 (with 8 points) A tall, slender girl, she's always had a good serve and strong groundshots. And did particularly well at junior Wimbledon (the grass suiting her). She made the QFs in 2021. But she was alway...
So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...
The last PoM process of 2025 is now started. Weeks 48-52, meaning we close on Sunday 28th December. December is a strange month in relative terms. Maybe the bar for entry shifts a little - that is down to nominators to decide initially. My only guidance is that, as always, nominate who you wish and for a...
