Talia Neilson-Gatenby
(Preview)
Time for a thread for young Talia (born 2005) ..... At age 16, being a wildcard, and in only her second adult ITF event, she has made it all the way to final in the 25k at Birmingham this week, before losing in three sets. An amazing week for her. Talia has had some nasty injuries in recent years. Fractured...

Luca Pow
(Preview)
As he's our 2022 U18 National Champion (having beaten the defending champion, Will Jansen), and will be playing Adult Wimbly Qualis, it's time to have a thread for Luca Pow. He also won the U18 doubles title, with Henry Searle. And previously won the U12 and U14 nationals too. Currently at the Loughb...

Ryan Peniston
(

)
(Preview)
We don't seem to have a thread for Ryan(?) but he does fly under the radar a bit. Ryan has had a sort of break through season but by hard graft and consistency rather than one big tournament. He started the 2021 picking up points at futures levels and 5 or 6 times qualified for challengers but could not w...

Amarni Banks
(

(Preview)
Marni has a lot of supporters, and has been a real tennis talent (IMO) for some time now. Aggressive game. Lots of rackethead speed. Spent a lot of time in Spain, honing her game. Based at the NTC for a while. Now back at Bolton tennis academy full-time, I believe. Rather hampered by injury in the last few...

Hollie Smart
(

)
(Preview)
I've a feeling that Hollie Smart's name is going to be a frequent one on this forum in years to come. So it's about time she had her own thread. Hollie was born in June 2009. She's a tall, slender girl. Plays quite a defensive game. After Hannah Klugman, she is pretty much the LTA's top pick for her age (alth...

Jake appears not to have a dedicated thread, but given that he won his second ITF title in Esch-sur-Alzette last weekend (his first being in Edgbaston last October, when he had to qualify & went on to beat Kyle in straight sets in the final) (both M25s), I thought he deserved one. He had an SE for the...

Maybe in two years time, Eva will have 'fizzled' and become one of our many decent college level players, but nothing more. Which is fine and there's nothing wrong with that ..... BUT it's just possible that tomorrow (first round of qualis at Wimbly) will be a sea change sort of day. And it seems to me we s...

Hi all, Anyone know if Paul is playing in any more tournaments soon after his great run on the East European Clay this past month? Just curious if younger players are looking to up their ranking this year so they can get out of the Transition Tour easier when it takes over next year?

A big welcome to the professional rankings for 19 year-old, Alicia Dudeney 03/10/22 - WTA 1221 (with 8 points) A tall, slender girl, she's always had a good serve and strong groundshots. And did particularly well at junior Wimbledon (the grass suiting her). She made the QFs in 2021. But she was alway...

Blu Baker

Congrats to Blu on getting selected for sponsorship by Token Stars. It will be interesting to see what sort of year he has - there's definitely good potential there, and he's been a fave for a while, but one could argue that he is currently 'fully priced in', there's no 'rough diamond' argument there. ...

Lauryn comes from the East End of London and is a junior I saw play quite a bit (because she was London-based) A good athlete, a well-rounded game, good ball skills - a lot better than many of her cohort and (IMO) always in the 'interesting' group, if not in a 'stand-out' group. She managed to get hersel...
