The third J500 of the year has a fairly strong field, with Allegra Korpanec Davies claiming the last of the 16 seeded positions, and fortunate to be in the same section as 2 wildcards and a qualifier, though the qualifier beat her earlier in the month. Flora Johnson has also selected to play here rathe...

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...
L16: Joe Cooper & Eric Vanshelboim (UKR) CR 2607 (2257+350) defeated (1) Gregor Ramskogler & Kai Wehnelt (AUT/GER) CR 772 (538+234) by 6-1 6-7(4) [10-8] ***** QF: Joe Cooper & Eric Vanshelboim (UKR) CR 2607 (2257+350) vs Adrian Oetzbach & Martin van der Meerschen (GER/BEL) CR...
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...
This pretty topical and fortunately getting lots of press because of the plight of Dulwich Hamlet FC, there are lots of great things about Hamlet, they get massive support for step 3 (the 7th tier of English Football) gates often North of 1500 generally a good gate at that level is 300-450. It is a genui...

Oliver appears not yet to have a dedicated thread. I think he deserves one in recognition of the fact that he made what I presume was his debut on the Challenger circuit on Saturday at the tender age of 16 (he turns 17 tomorrow) courtesy of a qWC for the Lexus Trophy 125 event in Ilkley, where he lost in thr...
We've had a specific rankings thread in the women's section for ages. But not one in the men's. So, in the good-old period, it all got put in the STEVEN thread. Which seemed a little weird after a while. And during the horrid-old period, there was the transition tour section for ITF rankings, and we har...

Plenty of Brit interest in this one! L16: (1) Harri Heliövaara (FIN) & Henry Patten CR 7 (3+4) vs Qualifier I hope Henry's injury, whatever it is (reported by paulisi on the MC doubles thread), clears up in time for them to be able play in this event. L16: (4) Máximo González & Andrés Molteni (...
