We talk a good game: Tennis blogs and Sites

[admin]

I have to admit i don't read a lot of tennis blogs or sites. The WTA and Mens Forums might have scared me off a bit, so this thread will hopefully give me a few sane sites to read

Go crazy!

Channelsurfing.net, which I read about here, has live feeds of matches.

These may be totally obvious for most, but just in case anyone is not aware, the ATP and WTA have excellent sites with player and tournament information and news updated throughout the day:

ATP
WTA

Also, Tennisnews.com is a good site with links to tennis articles from various outlets, and daily tournament updates among other things.

LiveScore is real-time scoreboard with singles and doubles matches down to the challenger level.

Tennis Corner has the most hideous ads, but I really like their ranking and historical data. If I want to see the draw for the 89 French or the 93 WTA Hamburg tournament, that's where I can find it easily.

Along with ChannelSurfing, I also use www.myp2p.eu/Other.htm a lot. They usually have tennis on there (along with all other sports, in case you want to see those). I check there almost every day to see what sports I can see around the world (and in my own country) that I can't get on TV. They list (and have links to it) if it's on Sopcast, or TV Ants, or any other player (including just plain old webplayers).

OK, I just started reading tennis blogs, so I don't know many. But here's what I got in my favorites:

Tennis Served Fresh is a fantastic tennis and fashion blog.

Savannah's World is a blog I just found after the author posted it in the meet thread. It has lots of interesting posts and seems to be more news oriented than TSF.

On the Baseline looks like a really good blog for WTA news. I just found it yesterday, but the archives seem to indicate that they track every bit of news about the WTA and its players.

I found out this one,it's about wta and it's well done in my opinion:
www.womenstennisblog.com/

I hadn't seen this site before, not sure how new it is. t3nnis.tv. Torrents of full matches. Obviously it's got all the big name stuff, but if it can keep up with the lesser tournaments, not just the slams, i'd fall in love with it.

Couple of nice blogs:

Down The Line! - covers both the ATP and the WTA, in an amusing sort of way. Similar to Tennis Served Fresh, in a way. But without the fashion bits.

Inside WTA - covers, surprisingly enough, the WTA.

Down The Line looks great. I'm adding that to my bookmarks. Thanks!

I came across this very amusing blog, and thought some here might like it too. The premise: a 35-year-old has given himself 2 years to play tennis full-time and see how far he can get in various rankings systems. One of my favorite early passages:

It's an ITF Seniors Grade 2 event so there are plenty of ranking points to be picked up. Unfortunately, the standard is quite high. The number one seed played numerous times at Wimbledon and has taken out some big names in the past (so have I actually - I once took Oprah Winfrey out to the cinema during her shag-a-cracker phase).

Old Man On Tour.

Not a purely tennis site, but I enjoy glancing through the Ladies Dot Dot Dot tennis blog. Look, I'm shallow. I don't deny it.

The French Open Hotties post definitely made my day.

Erm, a "friend of mine" has this site that I think is kinda sorta amusing and insightful and even downright annoying at times.

Disclaimer: this friend might have stolen the nickname "Penis Head" from this board, and for that my friend humbly apologizes and intends to retroactively give proper credit wherever it is due. My friend assures me, however, that all other content on the site at least attempts to be original.

I found this site when I was looking for live streaming links. Nice blog and it DID have live stream links.
