Don't know if anyone picked this up earlier in the week, but Grigor has parted ways with his new coaching set up, the "Good to Great Academy" in Sweden. The impact seemed to be immediate - he apparently practiced in the gloom and long nights of Scandinavia all through last year's off season (...
Piers Foley got knocked out in the third round but Luke Hammond is through to the semis, and together the boys have made the doubles final: Singles: QF: Luke HAMMOND (GBR) 6-0 6-4 Edwyn RAMOS (AUS) SF: Luke HAMMOND (GBR) v Jack WONG (HKG) [1] Doubles: Semi-Final: Piers FOLEY (GBR) / Luke H...
There's so much Brit interest in the doubles (only four non-Brits, in fact!) that I though it sensible to give them their own thread: R1: Ed Corrie & Josh Ward-Hibbert CR 544 (193+351) vs Joe Gill & Bruce Strachan UNR R1: Rob Carter & Ryan Penniston CR 1402+1702) vs Lewis Burton & Jo...

Poor Sam (unless you assume she wasn't going to win anyway and a day on a show court is a bonus!) Decent draws for Heather, JoKo and perhaps even Tara (given Zvonareva's shaky comeback so far) and Naomi (given how close she has got to Babos in the past): L128: Heather Watson WR 70 v Ajla Tomljanovic (CR...

Just after a little advice. I and a few friends are up in London this weekend. Friday plans have fallen through, so looking at going to the tennis. What would be the chances of getting a day pass at Wimbledon and would it be a queue at 8am job? All advice would be welcomed and appreciated.
Qualifying is a nightmare here by Challenger standards, with the top seeds in each section all in the top 200 - it looks like they would all have got into the main draw direct had they entered on time. Other than that, a few more top 500 players and assorted juniors, doubles specialists and other lower-r...
A place for all those things relating to Wimbledon that aren't quite right for any of the normal threads? I don't know if others have seen or mentioned this before (for all I know someone on here wrote it!), but browsing in our local bookstore last week, I found "Analyzing Wimbledon: The Power of S...
Although all the main attention is on Roehampton this week, there are quite a few lower ranked ITF tournaments happening this week with young Brits playing, some going very well and some not so well(!), but it seems more efficient to group them together: Tunisia, Grade 4 All three lads came through t...
Jack C. was down as fifth on the quali list so either he's made it into the main draw as of right, got a WC because of his run this week, or (just possibly but unlikely) withdrawn. Q1: Andrew Bettles v Andreas Neykov (BUL) WR 2097 CH 1445 in 2010 Q1: Samm Butler v (q) Stefan Vujic (AUS) UNR age 16
