There doesn't appear to be a thread for Jack Draper so here's one for people to contribute to. I will start by pointing out that Jack has made the shortlist for BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year
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
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...
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...

Hannah is the talk of young tennis, worldwide. She's only 12. Born 2009. She's a tall-ish girl, with a super serve, especially given her age, moves well, very lucid, turns defence into attack very effectively. Her match in Les Petits As (the top world event for U14s) against the other 2009-born sta...
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...

Ophelia Korpanec Davies and Athina Schlepphorst lost in qualifying. There is also an under 16 event, and Clarice Ouvarova is seeded in that. Most of the entry is Ame...

Argentina's Mariano Puerta has been banned from competition for eight years after failing a doping test following this year's French Open final.
The International Tennis Federation confirmed th...
QR1: Thomas Linley UNR vs (q13) Mason Dace UNR QR1: (qWC) Cheraag Bajwa UNR vs (q16) Pablo Hermoso (ESP) UNR Matt Summers & Jeremy Gschwendtner + possibly Alexis Canter should be in the main draw.

We had a thread last year which largely allowed us to keep tabs on the progress of Anna McBride and other players in the Para tennis world, so felt a new one for 2025 would be useful. If Anna's Dad reads this, I guess Anna and our other players are down in Australia now for the Aussie Open event? I can't see a d...
