QR1: Leon Coen (BEL) UNR vs (q12) Freddie Ridout WR 1896 (= CH) Same QR1 as this week, though Freddie is seeded this time round. Toby Samuel & Matt Summers should again be in the main draw.
I've been so impressed with Olivia Nicholls this Spring. Winning 4 doubles titles is so impressive and she's forming an exciting partnership with Sarah Beth Grey. Would you give the pair wild cards to the WTA British events? Or would you give it to established singles players (Hev, JoKo)? Arguably,...
More 'important' congratulations get their own thread (Andy and Kim's baby, Marcus' wedding etc.) which seems right but we didn't seem to have a general congrats thread, for all tennis players (rather like the remarkable non-GB performances, or best wishes re injuries). And good news is good news...
QR1: (q2) Matthew Rankin WR 1524 (CH = 1476 in June) vs (qWC) Simon Caldwell (USA) UNR Paul Jubb, Aidan McHugh & Oliver Okonkwo should be in the main draw. Good to see Paul returning to the fray.
The draw should be out this evening for the Junior Billie Jean King Cup finals. The British team of Megan Knight, Hollie Smart and Edie Griffiths will be hoping to make the top two in their round robin group to progress to the quarter-finals. Top seeds are likely to be the USA with julieta Pareja and th...

Oliver appears not yet to have a dedicated thread. I think he deserves one in recognition of the fact that he made what I presume was his debut on the Challenger circuit on Saturday at the tender age of 16 (he turns 17 tomorrow) courtesy of a qWC for the Lexus Trophy 125 event in Ilkley, where he lost in thr...

Feels wrong that we dont have a discussion on this to allow people to comment - the British government have tonight urged China to prove she is safe. Good. I support the wta in their stance and getting out of China is their only reasonable option now. It is untenable for the wta to play in China next year I...

Two podcast related things I wanted to mention quick: (Sorry if either have already been covered and I'm duplicating) 1) great to see (as per the Jack Draper thread) that Jack has done a full interview with The Tennis Podcast 2) There's a really sad but really interesting and unexpectedly emotional...
