From Jamie Murray's Battle of the Brits:

Interesting to hear that Rob Morgan (the brother of George Morgan) is working with Joe Salisbury.

And that Jack Carpenter is also now coaching some of our top lads.

Rob Carter appeared to be coaching Ryan Peniston.

Not sure where to put this, but I had to put it somewhere.

I year or so back I posted a video of a very young lad taking enormous pleasure feeding balls for his big brother to hit and I wanted to put this link in the same thread, but I can't find it. Well this video takes that theme to the extreme.

Cute factor is off the scale.

I love the look the other way and then chuck the ball. Stay alert!

Nick Brown, Cheshire tennis stalwart and now coach , is part of Iga Swiateks extended team. I used to watch Nick at Ilkley back in the 80's - he partnered my coach, Simon Ickringill to the title I recall. Good player and seemed a decent guy. Clearly a decent coach.

I'm stretching this, but dani valverdu and Pliskova have split.

Interesting to see where next. Goffin and Thomas Johansson also have split.

Wonder if Evo is watching?

Nick Brown is married to Suzanne Charlton, daughter of Sir Bobby.

Just read that Brit Mark Gellard and WTA top 40 player Magda Linette parted ways last week. They were working together 3 years.

Quite an interesting addition to the WTA website. I didn't realise CiCi Bellis had a British coach. A couple of others that I wasn't aware of, like Kato, although she has slipped alarmingly down the singles rankings in recent years, so I hope Adam Lownsbrough wasn't brought on board at the beginning of that slump, ha.

That's a brilliant link, thanks AV

It is a good link and many of those names I have never heard of. It also struck me a LOT of WTA players arent listed, but presumably do have coaches, I wonder why the WTA didnt do a complete list and I wonder who else could be added , British coach wise.

I dont think the ATP have a similar list, nothing I have ever seen

Just a quick look but for a kick off Dmitri Zavialoff is not on the list so no Johanna Konta. Similarly no Jeremy Bates and therefore no Katie Boulter.

If they were going to do it, youd think it would be quite easy to at least run down the top 100 and ask each player who their current coach is!
