April 2024 Player of the Month Nominations Thread

The eagle eyed will see Madrid starts a few days before hand, but if we moved the PoM cut off earlier, we would have a 3 week month this month and that isnt really going to work; similarly, if we moved it a week lat...

(

It seems Becker has now been prosecuted for a string of criminal charges relating to his bankruptcy, in essence hiding or not declaring a whole series of assets that should have been disclosed. Case is going to Southwark Crown Court. Boy, how the mighty are fallen. This was always such a bizarre case...

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...

There have been various cases that have been posted and discussed, in various threads.
