Currently, there is a massive black hole in the women's side for UK women, between the top 3 in the top 100, and the women stranded outside the top 300. As of 29/2/2016, GB3 Naomi Broady has 712 ranking points, GB4 Tara Moore has 124 - and with this week's results to date, it's now over 600 points differen...

Peter bothwell is the first Ulsterman to achieve an ATP world ranking quite an achievement coming from the smallest home nation in great Britain & NI with only 2 indoor courts and...
Amanda playing doubles with Alice again this week. I think it's safe to say now, after 16 consecutive tournaments together dating back to June last year, that Alice has definitely replaced Ximena Hermoso as Mandy's regular partner of choice. Mandy never used to even play the doubles unless Ximena w...

The details surprised me, so here's some silly questions to ponder:Can you name the GB 'Magnificent Seven'? (reward 1 'tennis nerd' point)Can you name them in the correct order from most to le...
Hi all!

Basically, every week for the past month we've been writing an article an...

A wryly self-deprecating, sanguine and grounded piece from self-described, "barely Top 100", Nicole Gibbs on the reality of being a Top 100 player on the WTA tour. Or, as she relays, the dizzy heights of being able to "[command] a crowd the size of an 8am college lecture".
