Really enjoyed a youtube video from the early 90s; Sara playing Monica Seles in US Open 3rd round. Lost 6-1, 6-4 but was serving and volleying really well.

The South American circuit concludes with the first Grade A event outside of Grand Slams. Luka Petrovic draws a local player, who won Grade 4 events last year, but has struggled at higher grades. He plays doubles later tonight with a Colombian who he has partnered in 3 of the Latin American events. R1...
Last night I was playing doubles in the Newbury District Tennis League, West Berkshire. It was a men's top division match. Being 34 I was 20 years younger than any of the other 5 guys on my team and apart from two young coaches the opposition were all around 50-60 years old too. We were discussing the stat...
I was watching a random youtube vid and the guy said the cans of tennis balls were $2.17 per can (3x balls) from wal mart. Does he mean $2.17 per ball?Here in Australia proper balls are about $6.50 USD per 3x, or $5.00 USD for the cheap ones. I know regional pricing can be pretty funky some times but 2 or 3 tim...
Luke & Ben turn up in a Challenger, far and away the top seeds, with the 2nd seeds having a CR 230. Lloyd is also in the doubles draw in a WC pair. L16: (1) Luke Bambridge & Ben McLachlan (JPN) CR 89 (43+46) vs Jamie Cerretani & Maxime Cressy (USA/USA) CR 355 (123+232) L16: (WC) Lloyd Glasspoo...
Jodie has a tough match first up. Yuan is the person who beat Sam in the first round of qualifying in the AO in 3 sets. She lost in the second q round to Nao Hibino also in 3 sets but Hibino did win the last two sets 6-1 6-1. Nevertheless I'm not sure Jodie's level is back at this level yet. though the match will c...
Just under 52000 turned up tonight in Cape Town to see fed and Nadal play their exhibition for Africa. Over 40000 saw Federer play sacha zverev in mexico in december. May not be serious tennis but sure can draw a crowd.

Hi all the LTA used to announce Participation numbers for juniors competing across all age groups. I recall numbers used to raise a few eyebrows . I have not seen any thing for a while so am wondering if anyone here has . Curious if numbers have dropped since Andy Murray not been at top of game due to injury...
Not good draws for either player. If Tara were to win this she would then likely face the top q seed in the FQR. Emily gets the 3rd q seed first up.
