British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Hey people, sorry I've not posted in a while, I'll try to contribute a bit more over the coming months. Anyway, I wasn't going to come down to Wimbledon this year as I knew I was going to be busy this weekend, but yesterday afternoon I got an impulse and booked myself some overnight travel for last night so...

L32: Alex Ward WR 532 v (Q) Matthias Wolf (ITA) WR 1258 L32: Dan Cox WR 545 v (Q) Pierre Bonfre (SWE) UNR Pretty good R1 draws (if odd that they're both playing opponents whose names make them sound like they come from a different country!), but top seed Igor Sijsling WR 154 is likely to await the winner of A...

Richard Bloomfield's non-appearance in Manchester is explained by him turning up in the qualifying draw in Winnetka. He plays Josh Graves in the first round, and if he wins that, he will face 2nd seed Milos Raonic, who is ranked 295 in the world. Should win round one, but wouldn't expect anything afte...

Conor Niland beat former world No.1 Thomas Muster in Round 1 of the Braunschweig challenger in Germany, 6-2 6-1.It was Muster's first professional match since the 1999 French Open. I did a Google translate on the website, and it quotes Muster as saying... "Critics are a wonderful thing, but th...

Plenty of British interest in the Mixed Doubles draw that was out today, although maybe not as much as in previous years with two of the WC's going to Bob Bryan/Lindsay Davenport and Xavier Malisse and Kim Clijsters.

Is anyone else watching the insanity on Court 18? 35-34 atm in the final set, nearly 7 hours and Isner one short of Karlovic's most aces record.

Lots of Brits/Englishmen in contention, unlike the singles ( ), but some tough draws, though, with one obvious exception, seeds have actually been avoided: R1: Daniel Nestor & Nenad Zimonjic (CAN/SRB) (1) vs Jonny Marray & Jamie Murray R1: Fabio Fognini & Kevin Ullyett (ITA/RSA) v...

Just wondering if anyone here knows what's up with Stephanie Cornish - she always tended to be quite impressive when she played but didn't play that much and now she hasn't played since March apart from a R1 exit to Emily at the Wimbledon QWC POs. One of the guys doing Radio Wimbledon has asked me if I know...
