I noticed on the new (17 Dec) ATP rankings that Jan Choinski is showing as having switched from Germany to GB, and he is also now shown as British on the ITF site, so it may actually be true. He is 22, current singles ranking 270 (CH 234 in Apr), which would make him GB no. 7 between Andy and Liam. His doubles r...
There doesn't appear to be a thread for Jack Draper so here's one for people to contribute to. I will start by pointing out that Jack has made the shortlist for BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year
Well, it's got to be done..... Sonay Kartal, age 19, has just won the ITF 15 title in Turkey, and deserves her own thread. A promising youngster, who played a lot against/with Emma Raducanu as a tiddler and young teenager, she's had a few injuries issues and, for whatever reason, didn't travel abroad...
It may have been noted elsewhere but since Lissey doesn't have a thread yet, and her career is improving, here is the interesting Big Racket interview that Steven has tweeted a link to. With no sponsors Lissey has done well to get as far as she has, with her college career playing no small role in this, an...
A thread to summarise it all! Thanks to Kundalini for compiling some historic results, here is the full list since AO 2019 (when I think it started?) as best we can - anyone disagree please shout Formatting may be off! As you will see, I need to check one or two win totals; plus Covid stopped one event hap...

I think it might be an auspicious time to start a thread for Max .... I first watched him on some livestream when he was in Spain, and was impressed. And then on the livestream for the UP Pro League, or one of those events during lockdown, and was VERY impressed. Then saw a bit of livestream from one of the UT...
Play in the main draw in both the men's & the women's singles will begin at 09.30 EST (so 14.30 BST) on Sunday week (30th August). The good news is that the men's defending champion, Carlos Alcaraz, will be returning to the fray. Inevitably, the Yanks are out to prove that they do everything bigg...
Hannah is the talk of young tennis, worldwide. She's only 12. Born 2009. She's a tall-ish girl, with a super serve, especially given her age, moves well, very lucid, turns defence into attack very effectively. Her match in Les Petits As (the top world event for U14s) against the other 2009-born sta...

voting closes Sunday 30th at 1pm UK time Time to go once more! US Open, British wins predictions for the main draw only (not qualies) Remember, this is for just mens and womens singles and doubles - NOT MIXED DOUBLES. As that is a week earlier and "different" to other slams, I will leave mixed out again t...
The draw is out for this year's US Open. Mark and Rhys have decent starters, but are likely to face top seeds in round 2. Hollie has to face a Wimbledon semi-finalist, who Dani pushed to a third set tiebreak when they played recently in the European Summer Cup Boys R1 (L64) Mark Ceban v (Q) Yoshihiro Sak...
