Can't post this in the individual players forum, even though it kicks off with comments from Jamie Murray, as he's not a Brit. His name has cropped up on a number of threads in the last year or so & he would have started this week's Nottingham Challenger as...

This is a duplicate from another thread but I suddenly thought it deserved a thread of its own, maybe even as a reference tool for British players (I talked to one a few months ago who had no idea of the scope of money available elsewhere in individual tournaments - team tennis gets quite a lot of press but...

Sadly the Wimbledon singles champion of 1960 Australia's Neale Fraser passed away on 2nd December 2024 aged 91. He won the US singles Championships of 1959 and 1960. In the 1959 US Championships he also won the doubles and mixed and is the last man to win all 3 titles at the same Grand Slam. He won...

I found out - mainly by asking why the ITF junior final was on Friday rather than Saturday - that the winter county cup(open age)is on this weekend. I did find it a bit strange that it is a 3 day event starting on Friday morning, especially when some of the lesser counties will not have 6 pro players so they w...

For those who hanker for the old days, this Youtube video has appeared on social media. It is a 15 minute highlight reel of the 1952 Women's Singles final at Wimbledon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoSWyMdsfKM Thought some might find it interesting.

Feels wrong that we dont have a discussion on this to allow people to comment - the British government have tonight urged China to prove she is safe. Good. I support the wta in their stance and getting out of China is their only reasonable option now. It is untenable for the wta to play in China next year I...

For the main championships I'm going to see if separating out them out from the main US College discussion works.
