I know the draw has not come out yet, but i figured I'd start a thread anyway. I guess this will be as good a place as any for draws and results. I'm going Tuesday and have a spare ticket. Does anybody want it? I'm not looking for any money, would just be nice to see it go to a good home. Do feel free to buy me an ice...

NoDjo's accepted a wild card with a view to "fine-tuning [his] grass court game there ahead of Wimbledon", the first time for seven years that he'll have played a grass court warm-up event. He'll be the top seed (unless, of course, Andy springs a surprise...). Gaėl Monfils also has a WC & will be...
There seems to be an overwhelming majority of pros, ex pros, pundits and members on this forum that think the LTA needs to change. This is what I think the LTA's main problems are. Problem 1 - Too much focus on getting people playing tennis Though I respect that it is good for the future of British Tennis...
https://www.daviscup.com/en/news/264157.aspx So it looks like it will happen. Next season, the Davis and Fed Cups will end in a World Cup of tennis in November in Geneva in front of 18,000 screaming fans (yey!). It looks like the DC Semis and Final and Fed Cup Final and maybe the semis will take pla...
