The BBC knows that Mimi is on her way up and Emma's only on her way up to a Dubai Billionaire's penthouse.

Not to sound like a chud, but why are so many of our female tennis players of non-British heritage? It's not just current players either. Keothavong and Konta spring to mind. I don't really care, but it's just something interesting I've noticed recently, especially when our top male players are (and have pretty much always been) native white Brits.
