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...

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...

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.
