Strongest Nation?

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...

UTR Tennis Tournaments (in Britain or with British Players)

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...

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.

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...

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?

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...

Tennis Net?

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...
