I'm not sure if this a new phenomena or not, but the LTA seem to be promoting overseas training camps based around tournaments in the area.

My copy of the above arrived from Amazon when I got home last night, and I have read the appendix chapters on doping and the LTA. I'll not give too much away as I suspect that many forum members will want to read it themselves in the coming weeks. Suffice it to say, Neil is both insufferable (name-dropping...

I have posted in a couple of other threads about some of my experiences in Madrid, but there is one more I wanted to share. It doesn't relate to any GB players so I thought here was the most appropriate place. Much as I enjoyed being on the centre court with Nole, Muzza, Rafa et al, I also enjoyed wandering...

Plans for major changes at the AELTC have been announced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1WZLVrhm8k Unsurprisingly court 1 will get a roof, hopefully by 2019. Plans also in place for 3 new courts to the north of court 1. This will allow court 19 to be removed and 2 courts from 4-11 to also be remove...

I know this is a topic which is probably less relevant than 10-15 years ago, as court speeds have generally declined and the balls have changed enough to negate the impact of the very very fast servers of yesteryear. The game appears more balanced than it perhaps was a few years back. However, a quick lo...

So Rafa has been back playing for a week and a half, and whilst most tennis fans seem delighted that he's back (he WAS missed), I sense a few reservations and rumblings in the distant background...... That aside, what I've been staggered about is how strident and opinionated he's become about everyth...

This interview on the BBC website this morning. I find many of the comments and quotes rather extraordinary - vague, misleading, disingenuous - in fact much of it reminds me of the leader of the London Olympics "Deliverance" Committee on the brilliant comedy 2012 - "so that's all go...
