Looks like Harriet and Jazzy are playing here this week. Quite a small field with only a handful of ranked players. It looks as if Harriet may be seeded. -- Edited by steven on Monday 12th of May 2014 09:26:08 PM
Here's a novelty - a Brit playing in an American closed championship. The organisers have discretion to allow a national from another country under certain conditions (I think Katie will be debarred from the European championships, but we are only allowed two entries in each age bracket for those...

All of us are desperate to see GB success at the top table of international tennis, and many rightly talk about taking the learnings from Spain and France, who produce great players in large volumes. But as Tony Blair might say, perhaps there is a "third way". We've all been aware of both Cro...

James M should be in the main draw. In a full 64-strong qualie draw, Enrique gets the top seed in round one, which is unfortunate! Q1: Enrique Vidal UNR v (1) Mark Vervoort (NED) WR 1115 CH 814 (May 2012) Q1: (WC) William Flavell v Eric Beci (ESP) UNR
R1: (WC) Enzo Couacaud & Laurent Lokoli (FRA/FRA) CR 2387 (1055+1332) vs (2) Ken Skupski & Neal Skupski CR 143 (67+76) Surely they can get past the first round this time...

Here are two interviews with Lisa that have appeared in our paper today where she talks about the financial hardship of being on tour and also how she was advised to give up tennis shortly before she broke on to the main tour. She touches on quite a number of issues in both articles, I hope they're of inter...
