Just watching Jack D at Queens on TV. I noticed the net seemed to be more saggy in the middle than I expected. I know the height of a net at the centre is the same on all courts as a standard requirement; question I had is whether the net has to be the same height all all parts along the net for all courts/nets - i...
I've searched and I think we are missing a topic for this. It's really quite an important part of the British Tennis landscape and should be followed on this forum.

I don't know why I've not thought of asking this before: What do people think of having a discussio/chat-free 'Results Only' thread each week for results from all events that week be posted in as they happen? My thinking is that this would allow us all to easily see in one place how all our players are d...

The ATP loves its purple prose: The ATP Challenger Tour grass-court swing continues with the Lexus Ilkley Open at the 145-year-old Ilkley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club. Arguably one of the most picturesque venues on the Challenger circuit, the tournament is nestled adjacent to the idyllic Ilkley...
