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...

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...

Nice little article on the BBC website about Gabby Taylor who seems to be over her mystery virus. Hope to see her back on the court soon but I suspect it will be a few months. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/36943166

Jasmine (born 2004) come from Herts, I think. She was a player that we called out in the juniors thread here a couple of years back, as someone who should be on the radar (and she then made rapid progress, up to winning a J2). And then (rather in Eden Silva style), she basically stopped playing juniors and...

I can't see a thread dedicated to this young man, but if Maia Lumsden can have one, I don't see why he can't! There's glowing report by Barry Flatman in The Sunday Times on the future prospects of three young Brits, George being one, Jack Draper & Aiden McHugh the other two, under the heading "Life...

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...

I wrote a piece about up and coming junior Harry Wendelken this week on the back of a successful year. I spoke to him, his coach and his parents to try to get a rounded view on what it's like to be coming through as a junior. After a good showing for him at Sweden this week I thought it might be quite timely to po...

I noticed on the new (17 Dec) ATP rankings that Jan Choinski is showing as having switched from Germany to GB, and he is also now shown as British on the ITF site, so it may actually be true. He is 22, current singles ranking 270 (CH 234 in Apr), which would make him GB no. 7 between Andy and Liam. His doubles r...

I've been seeing his name in green late on in weeks lately on openerarankings, so I thought I'd start a thread as I'd love to find out more about him. Is he another to watch? Does he have a chance of getting right up there? What's his history etc?

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...

I've decided to start an individual thread thread for Gregory Howe, given the fact he is back in fame. If Josh Goodall, get's his own thread, so should Howe, given that they both achieved success on the futures tour.

I thought I'd just post this because I went down a bit of a wormhole after seeing Zach in the main draw of the National Juniors and not really knowing anything about him. He seemed to be doing pretty well last season, getting to the 200s in juniors then not playing for a while (GCSEs? Injuries? Focusing o...

Just in case anybody subscribes to The Times, is prepared to cough up a quid for a day's access to the web site or can get to a library which still offers a selection of daily papers (or at least what used to be the broadsheets), there was a lovely article by Neil Harman (OldEchoMan when he posts on this site...

I'm sure Naomi has a previous dedicated thread, but I cannae find it. So as she's apparently entered her prime, and the WTA top 100, (rising to CH95 next week), here is one... This just to say that she's tweeted that she's on Radio 5 live at 1pm today.
