So time for the annual prediction game. We have several weeks of grass coming up and for the past few years we have tracked which British players win the most main draw and qualifying draw matches! And it is time to go again! Starting with Surbiton, we will track the wins in qualies and main draw throug...

So the 4 times a year slam wins prediction competition. For those new to this, simply predict how many British Main draw wins will be achieved across the 5 disciplines this year. All wins count 1 win, so for doubles if a British player is part of a pair with a non British player (most cases) that is 1 win; bu...
A new thread for this year's matches This year sees GB in a three-way playoff against the Netherlands and Germany for a place in the finals. The venue is Sportcampus, Zeiderpark, The Hague, Netherlands. Teams taken from the BJK Cup website (with latest singles/doubles rankings) :- Great Britain (R...
Although our 2 top ten ranked under 14s, Liv Zingg and Megan Knight, are playing the Nationals this week there are still a handful of Brits in the third under 14 Super Category event. The boys event has most of the top 10 present, but the girls doesn't, elevating Sofia Tatu to third seed Live streams sho...
Everyone knows about Billy and his 'Billy-van'. And Bob's famous laundry service. But there was an interesting article about his recently in the French press (about Billy, that is, not Bob ) and the Isle of Man tennis club site put up a translation: Harris, the Atypical Englishman :Having left Engl...
Next year's early ITFs are already on the ITF calendar. Fewer tournaments in January/February than 2024 but Manchester is introduced to the women's calendar which is a nice change from the usual venues. I would expect there to be at least 1 ATP Challenger. As a reminder there is an increase in prize mo...
There are a few high grade junior events this week, but with little British involvement thanks to the Nationals (elsewhere Matthew Upton lost in qualifying for the French J300). A 64 draw J200 gives Maria Ustic an entry here, but she may not be involved for long, as unluckily she has drawn the top seed...
Here we go, 8 players made it to the final Coco Gauff - tied top in her semi, won her opening group Madisson Keys - won her group both rounds Ons Jabeur - won her group both rounds Gael Monfils - won his group both rounds Harri Heliovaara - tied top in his semi, RU in opening group Barbora Krejcikova - came th...
I am transferring over SPOTY posts from Mika's individual player thread rather than continue discussions there ( we'd followed on to posts about her not on the list for young SPOTY )
The second French spring tournament for Mark Ceban sees him in a quarter of the draw with a couple of strong seeds. A livestream of one of the courts is available here R1 (L32) Mark Ceban v (Q) Ntungamili Raguin (BOT)
The topic of those in and around the top 500 has resurfaced again after a while, so I thought I would reintroduce a dedicated thread. There are 13 men currently in the men's top 500 - Gabb should appear in next week's list. Nearest candidates are Rice, Salisbury, Marsalek, Farquharson, Glasspool, Ba...
I wondered if anyone here played padel at all? Im thinking of giving it a go. I played decent relatively high club tennis (Yorkshire and Middlesex league to around 2nd or 3rd division) and squash (county junior under 16) but stopped playing it at all around 25 years ago and havent picked up a racket of an...
Seems we have a number of Leeds fans on here so I thought we deserved our own thread Greatest team of all time: 1) Gary Sprake 2) Paul Reaney 3) Terry Cooper 4) Billy Bremner 5) Jack Charlton 6) Norman Hunter 7) Peter Lorimer 8) Allan Clarke 9) Mick Jones 10) Jonny Giles 11) Eddie Gray 12) Paul Madeley (Supe...
Separate thread because of the number of pairs involving at least one Brit: L32: Jamie Murray & Rajeev Ram (USA) CR 55 (24+31) vs Hugo Nys & Edouard Roger-Vasselin (MON/FRA) CR 65 (30+35) L32: Marcelo Melo & Alexander Zverev (BRA/GER) CR 127 (29+98) vs (7) Julian Cash & Lloyd Glas...
Mimi Xu is (with Hep) the other extremely promising prospect we have amongst our young female players. She also is born 2007. Comes from Swansea. And has been a top LTA prospect for several years. I was very impressed when I saw her in the U18 nationals. The thing that stands out is her physique - she is...
QR1: Ibrahim Snoussi (TUN) UNR vs (q16) Nicolas Philibert WR 1720 (CH = 1586 in January last year) QR1: (q5) Lorenzo Lorusso (ITA) WR 1125 (CH = 1087 in January) vs Carl Holder UNR QR1: Louis Allen WR 1961 (CH = 1789 in November 2020) vs (qWC) Houcem Khemiri (TUN) UNR QR1: Elbert Barr UNR (CH = 1530 in...
J100 Istanbul Louis Hull won in R1, in three sets, but lost out in R2 J60 Malta Malta continues to provide very little joy..... Ron Roopesh, Henry Beer, Lucas Ebert and Alex Winder all lost in R1 As did Eva Senior and TianaVrajitoriu BUT Simon Hegarty won two matches before losing in R3 And Tamara Ku...
