I was pleased to find videos of Evonne Cawley's matches against Hana Mandlikova and Tracy Austin, from 1980 on youtube. The full matches as well. Lots of other Hana Mandlikova matches as well.

A few weeks ago we talked about following players from the start of their Wimbledon journey to the eventual winner. With no pre qualies, it therefore seemed reasonable to start in qualies at the first stage. Im not sure who the lowest ranked in each event are , but selecting our national under 18 wild ca...

Just to amuse myself, and not to upset anyone, I decided to create a sort of mixed doubles ranking list. Given there are only 4 pro events (that I know of) ie the 4 slams each season, I took two seasons worth of performances, so 8 events from FO 17, through to AO19. Like real world rankings, I will drop FO17 w...

From next month there will be advance entry to ITF tournaments at 25K and above. 7 teams will be accepted for advance entry based on their combined doubles ranking. The remaining teams will continue to be accepted on site based on best of singles or doubles ranking. The entry deadline will be 24 hours a...

Sorry if it's been mentioned elsewhere , but I'm just delighted. The fact it's on terrestrial and people might watch not just the headline matches but some juniors, mixed doubles or the like is a very good thing as far as I'm concerned. I think BBC sports live broadcasts are streets ahead of the competi...

Apparently there are going to be a limited number of tickets for Centre and No.1 court 48 hours in advance for Ame cardholders. I'm bloody livid that this opportunity is being limited in this way -- Edited by emmsie69 on Friday 25th of June 2021 08:25:58 PM

We have several threads for general ills in tennis (doping, match fixing etc) but there doesn't seem to be one on racism. And yet there have been some very big stories over the years (racism against Serena, racism by Serena etc. etc.) The case of Doug Adler (not Ben Rothenburg's best moment and he doesn...

I will flag this in the Racism thread too. As it's a multi-layered story and different people will focus more on different aspects. Taylor Townsend's account is a long read. It's been met with a lack of sympathy from many (along the lines of 'you've never buckled down and made the most of your talent, do...

Winner is the player with most votes BUT if no one gets 50 percent or more of the votes then the top two will go into a final play off tomorrow night. To confirm- 50 percent will count as a win in the...

It seems the old search engine has gone where you could find a players rating, age, county and results. Now all I see is results and I was hoping to discreetly find out if some guys were in my veterans age group.

Just wanted to bring to everyone's attention a project known as Tennis Aid. It is the brainchild of two Spanish coaches and the purpose is to take tennis to some of the poorest people in the world.
