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...

Hannah Klugman
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 12
)
(Preview)
Hannah is the talk of young tennis, worldwide. She's only 12. Born 2009. She's a tall-ish girl, with a super serve, especially given her age, moves well, very lucid, turns defence into attack very effectively. Her match in Les Petits As (the top world event for U14s) against the other 2009-born sta...

Isabelle Lacy
(Preview)
At age 15, Isabelle Lacy (born 2006) is very well thought of by the LTA and has now zoomed into the adult WTA rankings, at WR 1182, with 11 points, after coming through qualis at the ITF 100k at Surbiton. A tall, slender girl, with good arm speed, nice technique, and a back-of-the-court game that gets goo...

(Preview)
Ok, I know this is another post giving threads to babies in their cradles but.... I've had a strong interest in Megan Knight since she won the U12 National Championships in 2022, despite being a year young (which makes a big difference at that age). (I think she also made the semis of the U12 a year before...

Liam Broady

Liam topping off a much improved spell recently by qualifying and then reaching semis in Aptos 100k Challenger. Sensational 1st round win over Bemelmans followed by straight forward wins against two pretty decent draws. Hope he can make the final. Has he made a Ch Final before?

According to OER and ATP we seem to have acquired a new player from AUS? Aged 29 with a current ranking of 806 (CH 702 in 2020). Anyone got any info on him and what this is all about - seems an odd move at this stage of his career?

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...

There's a junior exhibition (I'm guessing) going on at Queen's Club during the tournament and so a quick shoutout to Arthur who beat the JWR 9 today. What a good few months the kid has had.

I know she's terribly young to have her own thread but I think this forum is going to be talking about Hephzibah an awful lot in the years to come so I'm starting a thread for her now. Having just turned 13 ten days ago (born 31 October 2007), she is an extremely impressive player and athlete - a strong girl,...

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...

In the same vein as skibbarriz, here's an article from the beginning of this year that provides some background on Mandy Carreras. I see she is also still lined up for a start in Prague next week, so I hope she is now finally coming through her wrist injury too that put her out of the grass court season. Fro...

Perhaps this could have gone in the US College thread but Ali doesn't appear to have his own thread yet, so I thought this achievement warranted this at least. Ali won the Hall of Fame Invitational for college players and so guaranteed himself a WC into the MD of the Newport ATP 250 next year. http://www...

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...
