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...

On the apprentice there is a former Tennis pro called Max England. But I've never heard of him, has anyone on here come across him before?

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.

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.

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...

I saw this was posted on Raducanu's page and felt it would be good to give it it's own topic thread. I hope that's ok? Sorry I've not looked up what week it is. The below is copied from JonH's and CD's posts there: Seems there is time for others to enter and then they take the top 8 combined rankings entries a...

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...

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...
