British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

Seeing the recent discussions on Forum Members attending various tournaments, I thought it might be a good dedicated feature to have on the board(?) People often want advice if attending a tournaments for the first time.....it could be good to look back on for example. Some we can nag for "inside i...

In the Victoria Open, Alfie is top seed in the mens and Gordon is 4th; in womens, Lucy plays and is unseeded. In quad, Andy is 3rd seed and Greg Slade also plays, unseeded. Mens draw...

This delightful interview with Matthew Syed took me back to my schooldays & brought back some lovely memories. Sadly, Roger, now 83, is not in the best of health, but, with true Yorkshire grit, seems to be making light of it.

I often come on this forum to find, sadly, that no one has made it to Friday (usually Quarter Finals day). So I'm going to start this thread to celebrate those that do! Week 45 Challenger 80 ($54,160+H) - Knoxville, TN, USA (hard) QF: Liam Broady WR 262 vs Gijs Brouwer (NED) WR 441 (CH = 342 Aug 19) ITF M15 - C...

We had a thread last year which largely allowed us to keep tabs on the progress of Anna McBride and other players in the Para tennis world, so felt a new one for 2025 would be useful. If Anna's Dad reads this, I guess Anna and our other players are down in Australia now for the Aussie Open event? I can't see a d...

For my own amusement, I thought I would try and keep track of the top tennis nations over the course of the year and see where GB stacked up. Being honest, my main interest is the mens game, so I planned to track the week by week average rankings of the top 10 players in each of the key countries and see if GB ma...

On the grounds that occasionally someone does something quite extraordinary that seems to merit attention but doesn't fit into any other thread, would the mods be all right with this as a thread? If so, may I nominate Gilles Simon as a worthy opener? A few days ago, he was on crutches and the assumption...

I thought Kei was on a bit of a resurgence at the start of the year, making the final of Hong Kong back in early Jan. I watched him beat Jake in a challenger last November, and was impressed at his level as well - was playing top 30 tennis. Anyway he's tailed off since Feb and this news perhaps explains why. T...

Just watching Jack D at Queens on TV. I noticed the net seemed to be more saggy in the middle than I expected. I know the height of a net at the centre is the same on all courts as a standard requirement; question I had is whether the net has to be the same height all all parts along the net for all courts/nets - i...

I've searched and I think we are missing a topic for this. It's really quite an important part of the British Tennis landscape and should be followed on this forum. Clearly it's never going to be as big as College Tennis in the states, but we do have quite a few aspiring professionals in the BUCS system. M...

So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...

So as Zverev goes down to Djokovic we are left one again with a Grand Slam with no winner coming from the generation born in the 90s. Originally it seemed it would be a curse of players born between 1988 and 92 or so with the likes of Kei Nishikori, Raonic etc that would miss out on major honours because of...

Haven't been to Roland Garros since 2022, so have been thinking about trying to get tickets again this year. Hadn't realised they had introduced an online ballot just to access the public ticketing platform - it's crazy how demand has soared over the past decade, seems like there's more hurdles to ju...
