I hope you can forgive my indulgence here, but sometimes personal experiences can paint a broader picture. For the whole of my coaching career I have worked in a niche part of British tennis. That is helping players move into the professional game. In this time I have helped 42 players get their first s...

Hey guys I am desperate for some advice on which tennis racket to purchase. I have a horrific tennis racket currently. I am 23 years old and just starting out in tennis, I am fairly strong and quick on the court. If I had to admit my current flaws it would be hitting the ball too hard! :) I am working on it! I a...

I'm guessing the LTA are looking at scheduling for next year and hopefully it will not be the mess it was on the Women's side this year. The men's side was pretty well represented as we had a lot of players knocking on the doors of challengers and plenty of challengers were put on. I see no reason to change...

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post a question ... but a friend is very much wanting to get a grounds pass for the men's finals and wondered when one had to start to queue for that. I rather suspect that if anyone knows, it will be the people on this board. Any advice?

I put this in general as its men and women mixed. I think we all know that we may have just the one Brit in round two but I suspect most of us are a little more optimistic. There are a couple of favourable draws for the Broady's, I actually think James Ward may top his Davis Cup performance and that Laura Robs...

I don't know enough detail about how elite tennis funding works, but from what i can gather if you hit the targets in the matrix you are in line for either A or B funding and appeals can be made if players can justify not reaching the ranking target i.e injury I think this is perfectly feasible at junior l...

At any of the four Grand Slams, a few minutes from Centre Court or Arthur Ashe stadium, one will find a tired looking rental car parked by the side of the road. This is where Christian Filhol has slept every night during tennis premier tournaments for the past 23 years. Filhol, a 53 year old Frenchman wit...

There is a big article in the telegraph today from Simon Briggs, suggesting the NTC is set to close as a national tennis centre and become administrative only.

I have had a seriously bad day. If you don't like rants, or your blood pressure is a bit high, turn off now. Left the hotel at 7.15am and walked the 5km to the station.

Who wins? It struck me as an idea for a domestic competition/exhibition event that the LTA could arrange, which would attract more interest than any normal British Tour event. The headline match would perhaps look like a non-contest, but further down there are some intriguing match-ups. I've trie...
