I know this subject has raised its head before and I am not intending to raise it in depth here but, I have suffered a fit of depression over the weekend with some of our results. I have been encouraged by some of what is happening in the sport at the lower levels. We have had great success at Junior Grand Sl...

Hello. I'm not the greatest at playing tennis. My serve is terrible and when I'm into the point I'm okay at keeping a rally going. I recently read about padel tennis and was drawn to the fact that it's really easy to pick up. Has anyone heard of the sport? If so, what are your thoughts? Worth giving a shot?...

Andy Roddick, who I saw play at Wimbledon last Summer, and thought perhaps was 'past his best', knocked out the 'in form' Federer last night in Miami in 3 sets. Brilliant result

The ITF site is undergoing a revamp, which can be seen at http://beta.itftennis.com/procircuit/home.aspx I was having a look at it yesterday evening and it hasa better look than the old site (which usually rings lots of warning bells about ease of use, but in fact it seems to run at about the same spe...

Apparently Rafa will be playing Halle in 2012 after the organisors offered him an appearance fee of roughy £750,000. The total prize money offered is only a little over £500,000. I really hope people remember this next time Rafa complains about having to play too much.
