And another one for JonH! A bit of fun for the weekend, this is the womens poll to determine our favourite top ranked female player from each of the continents following on from Jon raising this in this weeks mens Dubai thread (p2). He was wistfully thinking that there should be some sort of exhibition...
L28: Cameron Norrie WR 65 (CH = 41 in May 2019) vs Qualifier Medvedev & Tstitsipas are the top & second seeds respectively. Cam is in the Greek's quarter of the draw.
Singapore, J5: R1: (7) Scarlett Perkins (age 16) def. Sarah-Anne Wong Anqi (SGP) 4-6 6-4 6-3 Aidan Byrne failed to qualify in the boys (indeed, it says he was defaulted at 5-2 down in the second)
Bit of a taboo subject, and I was looking to bump an old thread rather than create a new one, but couldn't even find a horse racing thread of any sorts, so perhaps not, but is anyone having any punts / much interest in Cheltenham this year? SkyBet are doing their £10 refunded as cash on the first race tomorr...
QR1: (qWC) James Hopper UNR vs (q6) Evan Song (USA) WR 529 (CH = 314 in January 2019) Hopper's is a new name on me. As he has a qWC (& another in the doubles), I assume he's on a scholarship to Cleveland State Uni. Tough draw!
QR1: Andrés Gabriel Ciurletti (ITA) WR 1608 (CH = 1220 in July 2018) vs (q10) Joshua Paris WR 1075 (CH = 769 in August 2019) QR1: (q3) Ryan Nijboer (NED) WR 721 (CH = 502 in April 2019) vs Daniel Little WR 1520 (CH = 1440 in February last year) QR1: Shahar Gabay (ISR) UNR vs Giacomo Revelli UNR QR1: Mirko...
Following discussions in the Strongest Nation thread, I have moved the current 2021 predictions thread and previous years' threads from the men's and women's sections to the Tennis Predictions section.

QR1: Yash Chaurasia (IND) WR 1894 (CH = 1662 in February last year) vs Jonathan Binding UNR (CH = 985 in August 2019) Aidan McHugh & Alexis Canter should be in the main draw.
L28: Jérémy Chardy (FRA) WR 64 (CH = 25 in January 2013) vs Daniel Evans WR 28 (CH = 26 last month) It'll be Roger the Lodger (2) in the L16 for whoever wins that one.
The first of two Grade 2 events in the Dominican Republic, where Derrick Chen has been joined by a group of Brits. Oliver Tarvet negotiated qualifying but Joel Pierleoni and Kristina Paskauskas lost out. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Jack Pinnington Jones v Frederic Vogeli (SUI) (Q) Oliver Tarvet v (Q) Jayden Te...
Sarah Borwell Started at Rice but swiftly moved to Houston (American Athletic Conference) where she played 1998-2002 College CH = 8 (as far as I can tell) CH = 199, Dubs CH = 65, JCH = 583 Titles: 1 x 100K Dubs (2008) 1 x 50K Dubs (2010) 5 x 25K Dubs (2005, 2007, 2008x3) 3 x 10K (2006, 2007, 2008) 1 x 10K Dubs (20...
QR1: Louis Allen WR 1894 (CH = 1789 last November) vs Giorgio Tabacco (ITA) UNR Stuart Parker, if he's playing here next week, will be in the main draw (SE?), as the q1, Markos Kalovelonis, is one below him in the qualies acceptance list.
We are very analytical/critical of the LTA and often, in passing, compare it to other countries. But it seemed to me it would be useful to have a separate thread for those foreign federations. Italy, in particular, with their amazing cohort of new players, has received quite a lot of comment in other...
Eden has got a run-out in Dubai R32:- Eden Silva (GBR) / Rosalie Van Der Hoek (NED) CR279 (182+97) v Hayley Carter (USA) / Luisa Stefani (BRA) [7] CR61 (31+30)
I wasn't expecting to start a separate thread for this, but Tobey Lock has popped up in the main draw courtesy of a wildcard. There are various dated videos online of him hitting with a range of tennis luminaries, including Roger Federer, at Rafa's academy. The Darley sisters (Cheri and Libby) lost i...
