I've found it very interesting all the discussion in various threads regarding whether 2014 has been a good year or not. What does everyone think would constitute a good 2015? Would be good to review against everyone's thoughts in a years time. Edit: I'm referring to men's tennis here. -- Edit...
Ok so not one of my favourite tennis reporters, way too sycophantic for my tastes. But I haven't seen or heard anything of him since the downfall, just wondered what he was up to.

I've been down to watch final qualifying today as it is only 5 mins down the road. The standard was higher than I expected in general. In the girls Georgie Walker was very impressive and probably the best mover on court, I've seen for a while. Nell Miller is only 14, but qualified comfortably and hit some...

Morning all, and very nearly merry Christmas everyone. It's getting a bit close to the start of the season now and I am concerned that I haven't seen any 2014 ranking predictions yet!! I really couldn't care less about it being turned into a board competition, but I do really like seeing how the more...
http://bbc.in/18uFQEo "6-love-6 02 Jul" Sloane & John Inverdale talking about Fitzy from 30:11-30:37 A very short clip but she's very nice about him and her reaction when Inverdale asks if she knows he put himself up for sale on Ebay ... I mean, who wouldn't want to be described as...

Sadly, they all ended up trying to defend their po...
As freerider has started a male thread on rankings projections, I thought it only right to do something similar with the girls for rankings at the end of 2014: Here goes: 1. Laura Robson 38 2. Heather Watson 70 3. Jo Konta 105 4. Tara Moore 143 5. Sam Murray 179 6. Naomi Broady 196 7. Jade Windley 352 8. Lis...
