Shank Tennis is the work of Stephen Kelly, a freelance sports journalist and bitter, cynical tennis fan from Ireland.
I can’t get paid to write about tennis so I do it for free instead. If some one would like to pay me (or just let me write for free somewhere else) feel free to get in touch via shanktennis@gmail.com.

Hi Stephen aka Ilovetheblues_86,
You have a great website! The week in tweets is a clever idea and I really liked your Ancic retirement special. Anyway, I’m the tennis editor at thebigtip.com.au/tennis and it would be great if you could contribute an article or two. You’re welcome to put multiple links back to your site during or after the article. That way, even if you don’t get a view count award you still get something out of it (another link to your website).
Cheers,
Joel.
Haha, I can relate to the whole “I can’t get paid for writing so I do it for free instead”. I tried the whole “freelance journalist” tag for a while too, but it turns out calling yourself one doesn’t help you get paid.
