British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Last year Jessica Ren came away with the trophy here, and Alex Walker is hoping to replicate the feat this year. She has started well, by taking out an in-form seed. Her second opponent won the Copenhagen Grade 4 tournament recently. Boys R1 (L32) (4) Viktor Stjern (SWE) d. Christopher Helliar (GBR)...

Jack Carpenter and Ashley Hewitt have augmented the British presence here. Jack takes a hit this week, with points from a Grade 1 QF dropping off. To replace them he will probably need to beat world number 3 and Australian Open champion Tiago Fernandes. Ashley has to tackle the winner of last week's As...

The first of two fairly weak Grade 2s in South Africa sees Jennifer Ren make a stopover between South American and Asian tournaments. Fran Stephenson has drawn the short straw of the top seed. Boys R1 (L32) (6) Christopher Simpson (GBR) v Sebastian Richter (GER) Girls R1 (L32) (1) Ilinca Stoica (ROU)...

Amazing interview on BBC sport http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/8556578.stm

Last year there was a strong British party for a quartet of Asian Grade 1 events. This time just Jessica Ren and Manisha Foster, who negotiated qualifying, are here for the first of these. Jennifer Ren should be completing a four continent schedule within 2 months by joining Jess later on, whilst Jame...

A problem with Elisha Gabb's entry for this tournament meant that she had to go into qualifying, and lost in the final round, so will have to hope for a Lucky Loser spot. The draw doesn't give me much optimism of British involvement beyond the first round. Lucy plays the world number 8 whilst Daneika onl...

4 unique characters in the game who will be missed and have all left their mark in the tennis world. happy retirement!

I wondered what people here thought of how the DC players will respond after this loss. Jamie didn't play but, was part of the initial squad. James won a match but couldn't break serve in the 2nd tie. Dan's first match seemed a brave 5 setter, his 2nd the a disappointing one. How will they bounce back sa...

Richard Gabb and Lewis Burton have been joined by James Hignett in the main draw, after a fine win over the number 2 seed in qualifying. Dan Cochrane and Toby Martin (and Manisha Foster in the girls) all lost in final qualifying. Lewis starts against Stakhovsky Jnr - a familiar opponent for Brits, who...

Josh Goodall has decided to turn up to qualifying here in his absence from the Davis Cup and will most likely be seeded

Our 1993 girls have struggled to make an impact this year - here is a chance for three of them to buck the trend, though the field here, and in Brazil (next two weeks) is strong.
