Is it just me(with an athletics connection), but the BBC's TV coverage is still awful. Very little focus on the field events, too many pundits chit chatting and too many features instead of live athletics In addition to that I had to turn off when they absolutely tore Katarina Johnson Thompson and...

I know that this has been discussed ad nauseum before (but what the heck). The 18s nationals entry list for girls is once again very weak. There are plenty of arguments against it (again, I know) but why not experiment and give the winner a main draw wildcard into Wimbledon? I accept it is 10 months away...
Neal with yet another new partner, but arguably a slightly better first round draw than last week: R1: Tomasz Bednarek (POL) & Neal Skupski CR 379 (270+109) vs (WC) Federico Gaia & Alessandro Gianessi (ITA/ITA) CR 778 (367+411)

In the G5 in Jordan, a great run by 14 year-old british player, MATOS SEQUEIRA FERNANDES , Jizel, only came to an end in the final. She was runner-up to the secon...
