So far this year our girls have eclipsed the boys. Here's a chance for the boys to respond, with the top 4 ranked in action. Play starts on Sunday, but does not include Jonathan Cornish or Katy Dunne, who disappointingly lost their opening qualifying matches. Kyle and Liam look to have comfortable ope...

Georgina Sellyn will look to build on her excellent week in Costa Rica, and has a nice opener against a local wildcard, but Pippa Horn is a late withdrawal Boys R1 (L64) (Q) Juan Sebastian Marino (COL) v Tom Hill (GBR) Girls R1 (L64) (WC) Gabriela Anzola (VEN) v Georgina Sellyn (GBR)

Scott Clayton is top seed, and as it is only a Grade 4 event he needs to win it to make any significant rankings progression.

Our quintet should be looking for an improvement on last week's showing as the Latin American Circuit moves from clay to hard for a couple of weeks. It was fairly inevitable that Artur Completo would be drawn against a Brit - he played 13 different ones last year. R1 (L64) Tom Hill (GBR) v Artur Completo...

In 2009 Jennifer Ren was a winner, and Oliver Golding a finalist, here.

A stronger British presence in the girls event than last week, though Pippa Horn and Georgina Sellyn will have to tackle the top 2 seeds if they win their openers. Pippa will do well to win her match, against an opponent who has won a minimum of 2 matches in every ITF main draw she has been in. R1 (L64) (WC)...

Indiana remarked in another thread about the depth of talent on the boys' side amongst 94-96 born. Since the last event of 2011 has been added (the first of 2012, the Casablanca Grade A, starts on Boxing Day) it's possible to work out the rankings for the start of 2012 (give or take a position, for the odd...

The 2012 season has started inauspiciously at the new Mexican venue (clay in Mexico City replacing the hard courts of Casablanca). We had 3 seeds here but all failed to progress past the first round - only Mexican wildcards preventing a wipeout. Boys R1 (L64) Jordi Arconada (ARG) d. (15) Jordan Angus...

We've had a good few years in this prestigious tournament, with George Morgan and Joshua Sapwell winners in the under 14s and Andy Murray winning the under 12s.

The girls haven't had as much success as the boys here. However Jessica Ren won the under 12s in 2006 and Jocelyn Rae was a finalist in 2003. In the under 14s our last finalist was Jo Lewis in 1981. We do have a fairly strong group of under 14s here, though none is seeded. Jazzi Plews has a tough opener agains...

All four of our boys with the possibility of direct entry are in, but 3 players who would be in qualifying (Jordan Angus, Evan Hoyt and Eleanor Dean) have opted out. Isaac Stoute crept into qualifying this year, and appears to be hoping again that the cut will fall dramatically. Mitchell Krueger is the...

The main draw for the under 18s starts on Monday, with the same Brits as in the Eddie Herr - this time Evan Hoyt did not have to qualify. There is also an under 16 event starting today Under 16 R1 (L64) Andres Alfonzo Paredes (VEN) v (13) Alex Sendegeya (GBR)

Liam Broady and Kyle Edmund should be seeded here, and joined by Luke Bambridge, Joshua Ward-Hibbert, Sam Hutt, Jordan Angus and Jonathan Cornish.

The North American junior season starts today with Kyle Edmund as second seed and a group of Brits seeking points to improve their chances of making the Australian Open. Evan Hoyt is the only one of them to draw a seed, and his opponent's recent modest record gives cause to hope for an upset. Our only gi...
