I thought it would be a good idea to set up a general tennis thread like they have for other sports on here as interest will generally be higher after Wimbledon and it is only 6 weeks today until the start of the 3rd Grand Slam of the season, The US Open.
It will be better to keep Grand Slam discussion separately for greater visibility but this should be a good place for all the build up tournaments like the Canadian and Cincinnati Open's. Plus it will be useful for general things that don't warrant their own thread like Jo Konta now up to 4th in the newest WTA rankings, the highest of her career and the first time a Brit (or someone representing Britain if you prefer) has made the top 5 since 1984.
The following website looks ideal for keeping up to date with UK tennis on TV, focusing on times, channels and any British involvement in each tournament:

Full remaining tournament schedules until the end of the year / season:

It's good news that the ATP finals are staying at the O2, London until 2020 and also the WTA's equivalent tournament is looking to leave Asia in 2019 to be held in a new European location which will be announced next year. Manchester in the running and that would be brilliant.
