I know this forum is based more around international tennis tournaments, but whats everybodys thoughts on the uk situation? Obviously we are coming up to the weekend and I guess there are over 200 events uk wide happening. Do you think the lta should act and cancel all events?
So this is the one I have been waiting for and the Gods of tennis have thrown up clay for this match as well as the ladies match! Where do we start with this? Novak Djokovic - possibly the GOAT in many peoples eyes, if not yet, possibly by the end of his career. Novak has won 17 slams, all 4 slams, but won just...
So match three commences, we all know the rules by now! Steffi Graf versus Chris Evert and on clay courts as well. Steffi won 22 slams in her career, 6 of those where on the clay of Roland Garros, where she played 9 finals in total. She is the last non American citizen in this event, although she is marr...
Out of the blue my son has booked a ground pass for us on the first Tuesday. If anyone has any advice on how to make the most of this I'd be really grateful.
Match 2 has been drawn to be played on grass, meaning clay will come up in the bottom half of the draw. For grass courts though, this is a match for the ages. 4th seed - Helen Wills Moody has won 19 slams in total, 15 of those on grass at Wimbledon and the US Open, and has won 8 Wimbledon titles in total. She al...
Match 2 sets up a game between two of the best grass players ever, but on hardcourts (like the ladies, clay is hiding away til later!). This match is Pete Sampras who is 4th seed and won 14 slams, 7 of those on hardcourts, with 5 in the US and 2 in Australia. Emerson was for a while the GOAT, with 12 slams to h...
The mens opening match has been selected and is on GRASS. Federer is perhaps the greatest man player of all time - perhaps but others will argue with that! Federer has won 20 slams, 8 of which were on grass. But facing him is Bill Tilden. Tilden won 10 slams and 4 Pro slam titles in his career and of the 10 sl...
Opening match of the event and the match is an intriguing one. The court draw has made this a HARDCOURT match up. Possibly the greatest player of all time, Margaret Court of Australia, playing Monica Seles, former Yugoslavian, US Citizen and also Hungarian citizen as well. Court won 24 slams, at a...

Graziella was 8th alt but obviously got in by virtue of her presence. Sadly her participation will inevitably be short lived again. Freya and Amarni Banks should be in the MD. QR1: Graziella BARRETT (GBR) UNR/2035 v Jantje TILBUERGER (GER) [q2] 1077=CH 18yrs
