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

I was saddened to hear about the recent passing of Julie Piper who worked at the LTA shaping the county cup events for many years. Is there to be wider announcement @the_LTA @LTACompetitions ? There are many in the tennis community who have not heard ? #lta

Lovely to see some clay courts ( which I was told were real clay ) @boasportsclub this weekend - nice event and some good tennis on display - what a great little club in a lovely part of the world thanks @abtennisacademy for refereeing 🤛🤛 #tennis #bridgeofallan

Talking to a coach this week I was mentioning I don’t think I ever see anyone write anything down anymore - no wonder know one knows what’s going on - I write and plan and repeat all the time 🖋️📝🔥🎾 makes me a better coach ✅#tennis #tenniscoach

I just don’t understand spitting in the street. How is this even tolerated as normal or acknowledged as acceptable. Should be an instant fine - just never understood this disgusting habit. #communitystandards #society #neigbourhoodpolicing

Walking around this coastline I can’t help thinking of the sacrifice tennis parents are making with their kids travelling all over the place to compete this summer 🤛 - well done all of you 👏👏 hope you get a break before school starts again #tennis #tennisbreaks #restreset

Really lovely to see Arthur Fery just smash that @Wimbledon quarter final. A lovely kid with a strong competitive spirit. I think he has a chance in the semis v Zverev if he plays like that. Well done young man 🎾👏🤛

The J60 @worldtennis in Edinburgh yesterday - so many ‘byes’ and two day qualifying shortened to one day - such a shame - what can be done ? Don’t want to lose the event - participation is going up ? Is it the price ? The accommodation costs ? The city tax ? #edinburgh #tennis

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 @worldtennis 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

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.

Why are there never any chairs at outdoor junior tennis tournaments ?

Draper so good, looks the real deal and just love how he competes. Great work Trotters and team as well 🔥🔥
