Am starting this thread in response to a comment by Rosamund on the Laura Robson individual thread, as the discussion there was becoming sidetracked by posters' various reminiscences about past players!

Womens ITF name/ WTA ranking points changes
(
1 2 3
)
(Preview)
The ITF finally released the first tournaments of 2024. It's unusual for them to be released this late, but it seems it's because they are renaming the levels. W25 becomes W35 W40 becomes W50 W60 becomes W75 But the prize money seems the same: W35 Sunderland has 25k prize money W50 Edgbaston has 40k pri...

Next year's early ITFs are already on the ITF calendar. Fewer tournaments in January/February than 2024 but Manchester is introduced to the women's calendar which is a nice change from the usual venues. I would expect there to be at least 1 ATP Challenger. As a reminder there is an increase in prize mo...

Views on status of Russian players in tennis
(

)
(Preview)
I wondered what peoples views are in terms of how the Russian players and nation should be treated on tour - I am going to do it as a poll and wondered what the prevailing opinion was: Options are: 1) completely ban them until peace is made 2) leave as is - neutral nationality and no involvement in team e...

Roger Taylor

This delightful interview with Matthew Syed took me back to my schooldays & brought back some lovely memories. Sadly, Roger, now 83, is not in the best of health, but, with true Yorkshire grit, seems to be making light of it.

Nishikori
(Preview)
I thought Kei was on a bit of a resurgence at the start of the year, making the final of Hong Kong back in early Jan. I watched him beat Jake in a challenger last November, and was impressed at his level as well - was playing top 30 tennis. Anyway he's tailed off since Feb and this news perhaps explains why. T...

Tennis Net?
(Preview)
Just watching Jack D at Queens on TV. I noticed the net seemed to be more saggy in the middle than I expected. I know the height of a net at the centre is the same on all courts as a standard requirement; question I had is whether the net has to be the same height all all parts along the net for all courts/nets - i...

What is up with 90s born male tennis players
(Preview)
So as Zverev goes down to Djokovic we are left one again with a Grand Slam with no winner coming from the generation born in the 90s. Originally it seemed it would be a curse of players born between 1988 and 92 or so with the likes of Kei Nishikori, Raonic etc that would miss out on major honours because of...

French Open tickets

Haven't been to Roland Garros since 2022, so have been thinking about trying to get tickets again this year. Hadn't realised they had introduced an online ballot just to access the public ticketing platform - it's crazy how demand has soared over the past decade, seems like there's more hurdles to ju...
