I'll start:
What was unusual about Virginia Wade's opponent in rd1 of the 1977 US Open ?

Continuing the Josh Goodall dash for rankings places, here's his table for week 50 - the rankings that will be out on Monday 18th.
Unless there are wildcards in the futures this week, Josh is the only one in action, so has a clear run at the top 200. Bloomers moves up 2 places as Klec and Andujar fa...
New thread, post a quote here and guess who said it !
Here's a fairly easy one to start with:
Who said this:
"Shooting the guy who shot Bambi? I guess it feels better than shooting Bambi."
As it's been a very long time since I joined the board, I thought I should post an intro.

I'm posting this because the business that I've been working on for the last couple of years is about to launch in the UK, and I need some help trying the service out, and getting the word around.
I was wondering if any of you fine folk would be willing to check it...
Mel South is 12th on the lists. Initially she was outside the top 35, I think.
No Brits in qualies draw. Not even the Dubai based 15 year old Jennifer Smith.
12&U begins tomorrow.
The draw should feature Liam Broady, Jonathan Cornish and Jathan Malik.
Jathan is our 12&U number one (rankings wise only I guess, as he has played as many as 15 events, compared to Liam's 6). He won the British nationals this year ahead of Liam, an achievement that can'...
Jade and Tara in the main draw. Tara can shoot up the rankings if she makes some damage here.

Pick four players, one for each Slam, who you think are going to surprise us all by their performances next year. They must be ranked outside the top 80 and you can't choose someone like Victor Hanescu, who is under ranked due to injury. US Open - Sam Querrey. Wimbly - Mischa Zverev. Roland Garros - Juan M...
Fourteen year old Laura Slater, ranked 628 and seeded third, is through to the semis here.
