I mainly follow the mens tour ATP down to the ITFs. Looking at upcoming tournaments there appears to a very heavy balance towards clay court tournaments in Challenger and ITFs. Is it me or is it more than normal? Looking at just challenger level from this week to w/b 16th August there are 22 Challengers...

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...

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.

There's a really interesting 'long read' article in the Guardian about groudsmanship and the art of creating the perfect grass pitch/court whatever.

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.

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.
