With such a great start to the grass season, especially from Boulder and Draper, it got me wondering: I was a kid in the early 90s and vaguely remember our top male and female players only having a ranking in the 400s. I could be likely misremembering, this would have been somewhere between 92-94 just be...
This is the one Tennis Europe event on grass, providing one qualifier in each case for the Wimbledon Invitation event. Top Brits are playing here (it earns good points towards TE rankings) regardless of whether they have already qualified for Wimbledon (Niall Pickerd-Barua, Aran Selvaraasan, Da...
I fear that my excitement at the start of the grass court season has already got the better of me! The LTA has released the entry lists for both the men's & the wom...

L28: Marcos Giron (USA) WR 50 (CH = 44 in February) vs Andy Murray WR 75 (CH = 1 in November 2016) L28: Sebastian Ofner (AUT) WR 45 (CH = 37 in January) vs (6) Jack Draper WR 39 (CH = 35 last month) I suppose that the plus side of that draw is that, if Andy & Jack both win, we'll at least have a guaranteed rep...

Planning my next tennis trip and French Open looks like a plan. Anyone been and can offer some advice. Best courts to book, best time to buy, good places to stay etc. Be going first couple of days probably and hopefully following the Brits around.

Doubt anyone is particularly interested but I'm unlikely to be visiting the forum much in 2024 as I probably won't have the time to watch tennis. 1. I watched an unhealthy number of Jodie Burrage matches in 2023 so was already having a break towards the end of 2023. 2. My dad died unexpectedly the week b...
