I remember watching this match, the level of both players was that of another planet. It was one of the most brutal matches of recent times. Sadly it looks like it may have ended the careers of both players. Neither have been the same since. Will either of them ever coming back and realistically cha...
Alicia Barnett, Freya Christie and Emily Webley-Smith were 1st, 3rd and 4th on the qualifying list. As the top seed in the Q tournament was placed 6th on the list it seems likely that Alicia, Freya and Emily have all been pushed into the main draw with Jodie Burrage. -- Edited by Peter too on Sunday 27th o...

Last week Marni Banks drew the top seed in round 1. This time the meeting will be in round 2, if both win their openers (different top seed though - a strong Swiss girl, who got 7 games off the eventual Australian Open winner Clara Tauson last week) Boys R1 (L32) Felix Gill v Piotr Pawlak (POL) (WC) Mohamed...
Isaac gets credit just for sticking around - the weather has been so lousy. But patience gets its reward because his initial, better ranked opponent obviously got fed up waiting and went home, leaving Issac with a nice LL slot. R1: Isaac Stoute (GBR) ITF 521 def. (LL) Michalis SAKELLARIDIS (GRE...
The COSAT Circuit moves to clay without Blu Baker, but Matilda Mutavdzic stays, and is seeded this week.

Doubles draw out first, and at least this week the Pitak sisters will only potentially have to play the top seeds in the Qf not the first round (having played the 2nd seeds first up last time). Emilie is playing with Laetitia PULCHARTOVA (CZE) again and they also have an unseeded pair first round. Tif...

Good and bad news for Tanysha. The good news is that she has got into the q draw as an alt... The bad, she faces the top seed first up Very unfortunate as I think lower down the draw she may have had a good chance of qualifying... She still may do but will need a very good match first up. Her opponent at least h...
There has been lots of GOAT talk recently by fans of Fed, Nadal and Novak. Each fanbase of is quickly trying to make valid arguments. For example, Novak and Fed do not have the singles Olympic gold medal. Nadal has never won the tour end finals. I believe the GOAT should not be drawn up from the Slam count...
