British Tennis Forum - Celebrating 20 Years!

I was really struck by the ATP article on Aisam Ul-haq Qureshi going out to Yangon and speaking about the need for tolerance and how sport can promote it. (In case you hadn't seen, the Muslim community in Arakan State in Burma/Myanmar has recently been suffering from serious persecution) He then appa...

There have been several posts on the forum recently commenting on how we seem to have less tennis to follow. Certainly there have been retirements as a result of the LTA funding and attitude change. Probably from those unlikely to be troubling the main tour in the future, but still in most cases with i...

Could anyone help me with a definition for what amateur tennis means in terms of UK competition? For instance I work full time in a non-tennis job, but I could still enter a minor tournament and win some money - so the definition can not solely be about earning money. Take a top50 uk player who competes...

How formal is the Hopman cup? For example if Hev beats Radwanska does it count as a career best win? Do the single results count in W/L for the year, or is it treated as an exhibition?

Any ideas when we will see a schedule for next year on ITF & challengers for GB tournaments? All I can see on the ITF website is two ITF tournaments for the ladies a 10K and a 25K in Jan/Feb I'm interested to see the split as we have funny groupings. Men - 10-15 challenger/15K 10 - 15k/10K ...

Have heard that there will be at least 2 BT events during the first half of the year with an increased prize pot of just over £8K, giving the winners £1,500 each and the runners up £800. Perhaps this is part of the new approach to funding.
