UTS was one of the exho events that ran in the summer, in Cannes I believe, or Nice. Moratogalou was the organiser and it used a variety of formats, playing sets based on time as opposed to games, players using cards like jokers that gave them various incentives. Players in earlier versions included Tsitsipas, thiem, zverev and some lesser names.

Stuart Fraser reporting on twitter that Mark is returning to a coaching role with the LTA. Whether that means the LTA is paying him to coach one of our youngers players on tour or something else. Who knows. Will be interesting to see who Dan gets in next.

Seems Dan wanted Hilts to choose between joining him full time or staying at the NTC. He was apparently on a secondment to Evo; Hilts , a family man, chose the NTC, not something one can argue with really.

Apparently Dan is already looking forwards and Chris Jonhstone has been contacted for a trial over the Oz season (Johnstone coached Wayne Ferreira and Gigi Fernandez).

Mention of Ferreira and Fernandez is going back a while.Without checking too deeply Fernandez was a Wimbledon semi finalist back in 1994. I appreciate she had a stellar doubles career with Zvereva but that's back in the last century.Hasn't Chris Johnstone got more recent successful charges on his CV.?
