QR1: (q2) Niklas Johansson (SWE) WR 1167 (CH = 1026 in September) vs Ying Hou UNR (???) Toby Martin & young Harry Wenkelden, sorry, Wendelken, should again be in the main.
Both Mirabelle and Destinee are playing this morning (in theory) in qualis here. In this event's qualis, Eliz is also down to play today against Maelys Bougrat, who is the French girl she's also supposed to be playing in R1 of last week's event which still hasn't been played yet Don't know if that means...

Evening all, A short message to all coaches/tennis parents on here, I left the UK a long time ago and have since been working at academies and clubs in Spain and have no real idea how things work now in the UK, besides what I have heard from the players I've encountered (I'd like to be able say it was more p...
As DF has posted in entries, Emma is top seed in qualifying. Two rounds to be played. Neither first round match should present a challenge, but Freya is seeded to meet Corinna Dentoni q5 seed in the FQR.

I guess some of you will have noticed that there has been an event with top players taking place this week in Saudi Arabia. Putting aside the politics of the place and the rights and wrongs, it is clearly part of a push from Saudi Arabia to win over public opinion through top class sport; the Joshua v Ruiz W...

Hope this is the right place to post. I'm in my early 20s, started playing tennis this year, having 'retired' from another sport that I competed in at a national level. I understand I'm late to the sport, but am aiming to play at quite a high level. But a situation arose at my club that is hindering my progr...

I see Emily's recent doubles partner Rutuja Bhosale is also in the Q draw. I'm not sure Emily will get anywhere in the singles here, but presumably she will be in the doubles too, where her greater interest is likely to lie. QR1: Emily WEBLEY-SMITH (GBR) [QWC] 461 vs Anastasia GASANOVA (RUS) [q16] 296...
