I was shocked when I saw the price of coaching for my 5 year old, one club wanted £7.50 for a 45min session and another wanted £10/hour...for group coaching...8 kids per coach! The club near me who charge £10 session (this is outside of London on the Herts/Essex border) wanted £130 upfront for a block of...
There is a big article in the telegraph today from Simon Briggs, suggesting the NTC is set to close as a national tennis centre and become administrative only. That would make sense now given a post on twitter by Harry. I think this will throw a few noses out of joint. The following players will have to fi...

Could've been a real doddle draw, given the field, but Sabrina can't really complain: R1: (WC) Sabrina Bamburac UNR (CH 818 Feb 13) v Kayla Rizzolo (USA) WR 1091 (CH 883 Aug 10) No idea about Rizzolo in US College rankings. Sabrina also has a play in the doubles.
R1: Joshua Paris WR 1331 vs Cameron Silverman (USA) WR 1168 Silverman beat Bruce Strachan in Tel Aviv a couple of weeks ago by & 2. Paris beat Strachan by 1 & 1 last week. Could be an interesting match-up.
QR1: (q3) Andrew Watson WR 1431 vs BYE QR2: (q3) Andrew Watson vs Alexandre David (FRA) UNR OR Jacob Hansen (USA) UNR Bruce Strachan will apparently be in the MD. 18-year-old Andrew has just a 4-1 record so far this year - his last tournament was in May in Tampa, FL, where he made it through the Qualifyin...

I know there is a similar thread somewhere regarding the men, so I thought I'd start a thread re the points GB women have 'banked' from 23/06/14 on ( i.e. presumimg the rankings on which the 2015 Wimbledon GB WCs will be based are these of Monday 15/06/15 ). Points are up to date i.e. after Tara's exit...

Just been reading an article on Katie Swann, which led me to wonder about Jazzi Plews. Saw her play a few times when she was much younger, and had heard that she was injured. Can anyone shed any light.? She seemed a talented player, so it's a pity if a serious injury is preventing her from playing

Lewis Burton making an appearance too (although draws the second seed). Enzo Coucaud WR 216 is the top seed (and...
