Davis Cup 2019
(
1 2 3 4
)
(Preview)
New look Davis Cup starts next week, GB obviously not involved until the finals ( I wonder if an Andy Murray - less GB would have got the wild card to the finals?? Presumably not). From top players, Zverev, Thiem, Khachanov, Shapavolov, De Minaur, and a few others are playing but not many. Most interest...

The ATP

Spot the difference? Why would you pay for an article in the times, if it's exactly, word for word the same as the Daily Mail? Daily Mail:Chris Kermode will leave his position as ATP executive chairman and president at the end of 2019, ending a tenure which brought record prize money but also growing c...

Is there any depth in British Tennis yet?
(Preview)
I don't think so atm. Great Murray and Konta both in the Quarters but you feel whereas Konta's progress is a nice surprise, Murray is pretty much expected and you're shocked if he doesn't make it. Men's Davis Cup win was fantastic, but the Murray brothers were crucial in that run and win last year. Jamie...

Is the US College System good for British Tennis
(Preview)
Another mass exodus, around this time of year, of young tennis talent from Britain over to the states to take up college places. As good as it clearly is for the students themselves and their tennis development (I would personally have loved to go). Is it actually good for British Tennis as a whole? Oft...

Ben Rothenberg’s Opinion of the US Open Men’s Final
(Preview)
His hatred of Nadal knows no bounds. Here is how he describes the final on his podcast.I didnt love the tennis. The way these two played each other is tennis I dont admire or enjoy. The tennis is cowardly. Aesthetically it wasnt my favorite tennis to watch. And Medvedev is a great tactician! Nadals ti...

Canadian Tennis - Louis Borfiga - Way to go, Bianca !

The French are rather bitter that the guy they let get away has been SO successful in Canada (because - quelle surprise - he was never given the chance in France). They tried to re-recruit him this year and he politely told them where to put it. It's a very interesting article about what was wrong in Cana...

Tennis courts at primary schools
(Preview)
I was just pondering something I thought many times and thought I would share it: Many secondary schools in the UK have tennis courts but very few primary schools seem to have them. By the time kids reach secondary school they have pretty much passed the age they would need to start playing to ever have a...

World University Games, Chinese Taipei 2017

I think the 2015 games were posted in the Junior thread. But as they're not juniors, maybe the general tennis part is better. (Can't find 2016 games but Joe Salisbury and Darren Walsh got gold medals in the doubles). Anyway, the teams have just been announced, for the end of August, and include a lot of p...

I've tried lots of places, but none seem to actually show me the match that's playing. Any suggestions for streaming sites that are reliable? Ads aren...
