Welcome to the new TheTennisTimes.com. Here at The Tennis Times we are always trying to improve our site and grow our tennis loving community. In this latest upgrade you will notice a huge amount of additions and improvements, with even more to come in the near future.
First of all anyone can now become a member of The Tennis Times. Members will be able to join groups, participate in forums, have discussions, gain achievements and even post their own articles to the home page of The Tennis Times.
There are still a few additions that are yet to be added, but everything will be live within the next week. We are testing out this version of The Tennis Times with the aim of finding out if this is what the community is after. Let us know your thoughts and opinions on the new theme and upgraded features. Are there any other additions you would want to see?
The Tennis Times is just about to reach 600 fans on our Facebook page. We were hoping that you could help us move over that 600 figure and get a lot more people involved in our community.
If you havent already joined our Facebook group then why not! It would be great if anyone and everyone could help us reach 600 by suggesting our page to your friends. If you head to our Facebook Group and under The Tennis Times logo you will see a link called Suggest to Friends. Any help would be awesome.

Here at The Tennis Times we have made some very large changes to the site and its design today. The content within the site hasn’t changed but we have updated the feel of the site with the aim of providing a much better experience for our readers.
Colours
The colour change will be the first thing that you notice coming back to the site. We have aimed to have a much lighter site that is easier to read. The fonts are also very simple and aim to help our readers easily run through the articles.
Categories
All major categories can be found at the top of the page which allows readers to quickly jump and find what they are looking for. If you are still unable to find the article you are looking for then simply use the search tool found at the top of every page.
Sidebar
Our new sidebar is great for navigation. We have recent articles, tags, and pages in our sidebar. Additionally we have kept our old attendance section which allows us to see how many people have been visiting compared to the Grand Slams.
Advertising
The new site is a lot better than the old site in terms of advertising. We have eliminated most of the useless sponsors that weren’t helping our readers. Now we have a new sponsorship placement at the top of the page and one in the sidebar. We are hoping in the coming months to open up sponsorship/fixed monthly placements at the top of the sidebar.
Overall
We at The Tennis Times are very happy with the new site and how it is going to help our readers find out whats new in the world of tennis.
If you have any suggestions on what you would like to see added to The Tennis Times then please get in touch.
Here at The Tennis Times we are trying to find ways everyone can get all the latest tennis news easily and quickly.
We have now added a new widget to Widgetbox in which you can use and place on your website, myspace, blogs, igoogle, netvibes, and other start pages. Head here to grab it!
