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...
QR1: (q3) Nicolas Philibert WR 1766 (CH = 1586 in January last year) vs BYE QR1: Taymur Muhammed UNR vs (qWC) Mehdi Ben Arab (TUN) UNR QR1: (q5) Louis Allen WR 2178 (CH = 1789 in November 2020) vs BYE QR1: (q6) Peter Alam UNR (CH = 1534 in June last year) vs BYE QR1: Mohamed Boujelben (TUN) UNR vs Josh M...
Long overdue I think, better than bundling all sorts into the Leeds and non league thread. I see, after all the speculation, Graham Potter has just left Swansea to join Brighton, signing a 4 year deal. I know everyone wants to progress in their career / life and the lure of the Premier League would be big...
Thara Gowda has drawn Brits in each of her last 4 tournaments (beat Allegra then lost to Mika and Ruby) - this time it is Sophie Bekker R1 (L32) Sophie Bekker v (6) Thara Gowda (USA)
The US Open main draw starts on Sunday, with Mika Stojsavljevic as defending champion (it is quite uncommon for this to happen in a junior Grand Slam). Joining her should be Hannah Klugman, Allegra Korpanec Davies and Brooke Black, while Oliver Bonding is the sole British acceptance in the boys ev...
L128: Qualifier/lucky loser vs (5) Jack Draper WR 5 (CH = 4 in June) L128: Roberto Bautista (ESP) WR 47 (CH = 9 in November 2019) vs Jacob Fearnley WR 59 (CH = 49 in June) L128: Cameron Norrie WR 36 (CH = 8 in September 2022) vs Sebastian Korda (USA) WR 86 (CH = 15 last August)
Everything you need to know about the new format, but were afraid to ask! The last place I'd've expected to find such information is on the ATP site! Sadly, Jack will be longer be involved...
L32: Arthur Féry WR 235 (CH 229 on 19/08) vs Michael Geerts (BEL) WR 311 (CH 212 in April 2023) L32: (3) Billy Harris WR 151 (CH 101 in September 2024) vs (NG) Aryan Shah (IND) WR 399 (CH 390 in July this year), age 19 ******* QR1: (q3) Hamish Stewart WR 442 (= CH) vs Léo Raquillet (FRA) WR 820 (CH 812 in June...
Now weve sorted out the mixed doubles mess, Ive decided to post the predictions thread for this years US Open - how many main draw wins will Britain achieve? Just the 4 disciplines count in this one - mens/womens singles and doubles. Remember, a doubles win counts as 1 win if it is just one player in the p...
With Jack Draper 16 (JCH 38) playing in Egypt and Jake Hersey 17 (JCH 143) both playing this week and Emma Radacanu 15 (JCH 45) doing so well last week, there seemed some value in a pooled thread just to bring things together. There is quite a deep cohort of juniors moving into transition. Such a thread m...
So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...
Sadly, Jack will be longer be involved...
