More 'important' congratulations get their own thread (Andy and Kim's baby, Marcus' wedding etc.) which seems right but we didn't seem to have a general congrats thread, for all tennis players (rather like the remarkable non-GB performances, or best wishes re injuries). And good news is good news...

We have a few Olympic posts dotted around so I thought Id put a thread up - nearer the time, no doubt, individual threads will appear for the different events in the mens and womens section. Here is a decent and relatively simple overview of how the complicated qualification rules work. https://www...

So, Brighton is hosting a UTR tennis tournament with £1800 for the winner, decent money all the way down, prizes for the divisional winners, host families, etc. etc. It seems to be a men/women mixed event (based purely on UTR ranking), which is interesting. Is this a completely new thing? Or have I jus...

There was a fair bit of discussion - inevitably - of people's favourites/pet hates on the Queen's thread last week generated by the Beeb's commentary team. I posted a link to Stu Fraser's report on Jack Draper's match against Carlos Alcaraz (& a little bit about Billy Harris's cracking win over...

I wondered if anyone could help. I love reading on the history of tennis. When I was younger (I was born in 1965), around that time and through to the 80's , there was an annual tennis tournament called the King's Cup. Given by King Gustav of Sweden in the post war years, it was an indoor event for national t...

Hello everyone. For those of you that may not remember, my name is Mark, and over the years Ive attempted to get involved in British tennis in a few different ways.

With such a great start to the grass season, especially from Boulder and Draper, it got me wondering: I was a kid in the early 90s and vaguely remember our top male and female players only having a ranking in the 400s. I could be likely misremembering, this would have been somewhere between 92-94 just be...

Seeing as we usually have dedicated threads for the British Tour and UKPL, I thought perhaps we should have a dedicated thread for the top money events from the Progress Tour too rather than putting it in the UTR thread. This week is the £10k event at Cardiff Met, with, what appears to be, a 32 draw for the...
