Just heard Heather Watson speak

for the first time, and didn't realise she was so posh-sounding. Wouldn't have thought it for some reason.

Anyway, do you think the time when we hear an up and coming English player talk with like a cockney accent is the moment we start to realise that the state of tennis in this country is improving?

kind of....but at the moment beggars can't be choosers.
In short, I won't be holding my breath....tennis has always been an expensive sport as you just can't be self taught like in football for example.
Very sad but true

Could be a long time coming, the sport is trying to become more accessible and inclusive but it's still far too expensive for kids to go through the system and resources far too geographically centred on SW London.

It is changing, but slowly.
