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...

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...

As we know Sky have the rights to the US Open and are expected to have the rights to the 2 tours from next year. If they do I suspect they'll announce it during the US Open. Looking at the schedules for next week and the 1st week of the main draw, Sky's coverage of the US Open is Qualifying: Each day from 4pm to m...

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...

For definition purposes, based on birth year. No player born in the 90s has won a slam, and it is 2019 now!. I feel a whole generation, the 'lost gen' and maybe 'current gen' could possibly never win a slam. Next gen seems very strong. The lost gen will rank amongst the worst generation of tennis player...

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...

There are TONS of potential people to note here. I'd been keeping a list but it's not complete and so I've given up....

It seems that we've had a couple of specific threads for certain players but that a general thread might also be a good idea, so it's bit more all-encompassing.
