Em will start her qualifying matches tomorrow, QR1 and QR2 both being scheduled. I'm slightly surprised Emily is here when there were some very light field 25k events in Europe - she would probably have got into the main draw in Tbilisi, which is a lovely city too. Here at Gifu, she will have to beat high...

Well next week Anna is out again with her third different partner in a row.... With her latest partner, the highest ranked person she has yet played with, they are top seeds too, and could not have an easier opening match in a WTA event. Rankings are estimated next week. L32: Barbora KREJCIKOVA/ Anna S...

I think this guy should get a WC. Don't get me wrong, Broady and Clarke deserve them (if Norrie is DE that is and the LTA refuse to give EVO a WC), then we are left with no choice but to give Gray a WC He is making in-roads on the futures circuit and is ready to step up to challenger soon, plus he is still young. A...

My views (taken from another site, but this sum things up perfectly): I've always been bored witless by women's tennis. It is slow, populated by women with sturdy thighs and puntuated by noises I only make when badly constipated. However, I've been reading this site from quite a while a...
Very random question, but this popped into my head last week. Who would win a world championships to find the best player without an adult world ranking. The types of contenders could be: 1) An up and coming youngster yet to win his first ATP point 2) An ex-world ranked pro recently retired from the cir...

I'm not sure what has happened but the top 10 in the qualifying list are not in the qualifying draw. That includes Eden, Freya and Beth. Jodie withdrew yesterday. That leaves just the Pitaks in Q for GB. QR1: PITAK, Katarzyna (GBR) UNR v OLIVEIRA, Leonor (POR) UNR [15yo JCH 1384] QR1: PITAK, Aleksan...
