Hi Brad (or Mark) - just wanted to say that I've finally got round to reading your articles - sorry for the delay !
Really enjoyed them - well-written - I like the summary at the top - very good to see so much detail about tennis at all levels
I guess it's all a question of wordcount but I think there's a little room for fleshing out some of the players
i.e. you write "....two semi-finalists in Dan Cox and George Loffhagen, both of whom are enjoying very steady starts to the year." - but there's no indication that one is about 21 and one about 31 (and then of course there's a higher level of detail about the fact George has been out for about 2 years, and Dan too had quit, with mental health concerns, and then a few years late decided to come back - I know you can't fit everything in, and it's not needed each time but their age, or maybe where they come from, or just some snippets, might be nice to make players 'come alive' a bit
Thanks CD. I've tried posting some of the other articles here, but some of them have been flagged off for spam, so they're not getting through. I am trying to add a little more nuance to each player as I go along, and mentioning age when I think it's relevant. But this is great feedback, thank you!
