Took my first coach for a meal last night. 81yrs old and still coaching, he said he may have to stop next year as his knee is sore 😥Never met anyone so selfless, positive and generous. Also played Wimbledon. Legend #britishtenniscoahing #legacy #rolemodel

@Barry_Fulcher @Liambroady Yes forgot that 😂😂 working in Scotland that’s another debate re indoor courts and where they are built but your right @Barry_Fulcher - 3 indoor in Scotland - just hope the courts are full up and booming with players 🔥🤛

@stpender @Liambroady 3 new indoor tennis centre in Scotland in last twelve months. Zero new indoor tennis centres built in the rest of the UK in the last twelve years (yes, years!)

Totally agree with this. But the problem here is that the expense. In the UK that is almost always on the shoulders of the LTA whereas in Italy and Greece they are privately run resort tournaments. France run by individual clubs I think? And Spain I actually don’t know?

@marcus_buckland You ideally want to see one calf from the back (probably looks like right leg 🦵 coming round a bit early- just needs to stay side on a little longer ) nice action 👍

As Santa Clara make it 12 wins in a row the thoughts of all tennis coaches on young Luca’s service action would be much appreciated 😎

@coopuk could you install self service checkout tills in your Newlyn store please? (even just one) There are three tills that are never used and just one person serving on the fourth. Would just make it quicker to purchase one or two items if you don’t want to queue for 20 mins

@FlyLoganair Is there a reason?

@stpender Good Afternoon, We have taken the decision to pause services from Edinburgh to Newquay from 4th Jan 2026. We continually review our network and make adjustments as necessary giving us the ability to respond to demand. ^Cg

@FlyLoganair why do you not fly to Newquay anymore and when are you are going to communicate that you are either continuing or not continuing with the service ? #loganair

@FlyLoganair Not Edinburgh to though….. I can find the information on your website. Just wondering why ? And if there are plans to re-open the route ? Thanks

@stpender Good Afternoon, thank you for getting in touch. We still operate a number of route to and from Newquay, you can find our routes via loganair.co.uk

Never ceases to amaze me how much junior tennis tournaments take out of you. Diet goes out of the window, sleep patterns destroyed, eat all the wrong things at the wrong time of day, facilities not great, start matches at 8pm…. Tennis is messy yet programmes try to be perfect

At the @ITFTennis event in Liverpool this week. Wondering if boys withdraw more from matches than girls ? 3 boys yesterday. Not sure if they should then be allowed to play doubles. Player welfare needs to be considered. Can’t play singles don’t play doubles ?

Hey @lpoolcouncil as a visitor to your city your parking arrangements are all over the place. I’ve asked local people where I can park and no one knows. One said the ticket inspectors just choose if they want to fine you. Appears parking on pavements is allowed 🤷 #liverpool

@MerchiTennisA Class signing, looking forward to working with this young player 💥

Welcome our newest recruit 🤝 🎾 Top 50 in Great Britain 🇬🇧 🎾 Top 10 in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Great to see 3 of the top 10 U12 boys in Scotland at our school and 11 Scottish Boys training with us overall. #tennisacademy #schooltennisacademy #internationaltennisacademy

@DrRebeccaTidy @CornwallCouncil Yeh never policing the basics 🙄🙄 makes you wonder

Hey @CornwallCouncil. You don't deserve visitors! 🏖️ I just got a parking ticket for not realising that there was a single yellow line underneath this OVERGROWN hedging. #kernow #cornwall #stives

@scambers73 @TheTennisTalker @CincyTennis Always wonder what British coaches think of this especially as so many are mentored with programmes put on to up-skill the ‘next generation’ of coaches. Obviously she works in a world where she can pick/choose but a shame for those on homegrown coaching pathways

Coaching news: Emma Raducanu will be coached by Francisco Roig until at least the end of the year. Roig was part of Rafael Nadal’s team for many years and is considered a top technician. Interesting partnership - they will begin at @CincyTennis

Not bad for a non grand slam nation with a population of 60 million. Shows the importance and maybe a link of internal high level competition v ranking increase? Italy over the past 3 years on average 22 (men) and 28 (women) challenger/Senior ITF events per year #tennis

So good to have Sinner and Alcaraz carrying the torch for tennis 🎾 All the talk of padel and entertaining tennis players who just clown around and these two showing youngsters it’s ok to strive and achieve whilst being professional 👏👏

So pleased for Sinner 👏👏👏

Last time they played @BBCSport for your stats in commentary @Wimbledon

Thought the French Open 🇫🇷 was kind of a redemption for Sinner and I hope he wins today v Alcaraz. Really glad these two are keeping tennis at the box office level the sport deserves. #tennis #Wimbledon

How can @BBCSport and Wimbledon change up the commentating? The same clichéd viewpoints and analysis seems to be rolled out each year. Also are the same people invited to the royal box every day/week/year ? Seems like always the same.
