Hello, I'm new to the forum, my daughter is 6 years old and really enjoying her tennis lessons, I'm more a basketball fan myself so don't really know the tennis landscape so I wanted to know what the best tennis clubs are in London and also any advice in ensuring that she gets the right development.

I'd thought David would start a dedicated thread for this. (Hope everything's OK, David) But we should have one as it's more important this year, with Wimbly wildcards at stake (junior and adults) I thought it best to put the U16 and U18 together, as they follow on, one week to the next and they are the t...
