So just a little shout out today to Andy Bettles who seems to be doing a great job in Svitolina's corner, at the Aussie open. Good to see him, as one of our college boys, making a good living...

Couldn't find a thread for Jonny so I thought I would start one. I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jonny this evening in La Manga. He was drafted in to take part in their regular Friday night exhibition match and turned up expecting to play some friendly light hearted doubles with some of the coaches...

Can't post this in the individual players forum, even though it kicks off with comments from Jamie Murray, as he's not a Brit. His name has cropped up on a number of threads in the last year or so & he would have started this week's Nottingham Challenger as...
