Eddie Herr winner Luke Bambridge returns to Florida courtesy of a wildcard and starts intriguingly against an ambidextrous opponent who claims to have started playing tennis at 15 (he is 16 now). Boys R1 (L64) Damian Gryzelko (GBR) v Balaji Jothishankar (USA) Henry Moore (GBR) v (6) Trey Strobel (U...

Its a critical week for many of our boys trying to make Roland Garros. Oliver Golding and George Morgan should have enough points for the main draw, whilst Jack Carpenter (and Tom Allen, playing in Spain) should have enough for qualifying, but needs at least a QF to be in with a chance of a main draw entry...

Its the final opportunity for our quartet in France to make an impression in singles. Lucy Brown is seeded, but would probably need to beat strong local hope Caroline Garcia in order to reach the quarter-finals and gain points. Garcia is ranked just outside 600 WTA and has won a Grade 1 junior event thi...

Tom Allen needs to win the title here, in a weak Grade 2, to have a realistic chance of making Roland Garros by direct entry. R1 (L32) (Q) Laureano Agullo Juan (ESP) v (LL) James Hignett (GBR) (LL) Jose Fco. Vidal Azorin (ESP) v (2) Tom Allen (GBR)

Luke Bambridge's quest to improve on last week's semifinal should be tested early on in a quarter that includes top seed Robert Carter, Alexandre Favrot and Toby Martin. He opens against 6th seed Ciaran Fitzgerald, and if he survives from his quarter then another match against Dimitri Bretting is...

Oliver Golding returns to Junior action for the first time since the Australian Open, and may wish he hadn't bothered, as his first task is to subdue the resurgent Carlos Boluda-Purkiss. Tom Allen draws the top seed for the second week running, whilst Andrew Bettles enters the draw courtesy of an exe...

Fran Stephenson joins the trio in France and has the misfortune to draw the top seed. R1 (L32) (1) Cristina Dinu (ROU) v Francesca Stephenson (GBR) Lucy Brown (GBR) v (8) Olga Ianchuk (UKR) Amy Bowtell (IRL) v Daneika Borthwick (GBR) Natalie Beazant (GBR) v Klara Fabikova (CZE)

Even though the 1995 boys had a successful year with 4 in or around the Tennis Europe top 10 the category 1 titles eluded them. During the past two weeks over the Easter holidays there have been two such events with British success at last. The first week in Livorno, Italy, had a strong field, but Joshua S...

Most of our top boys are tackling this series of Grade2s/1 in France looking for points to reach the Roland Garros main draw or qualifying. The competition is strong though, with most of the field ranked inside 100. Richard Gabb has to tackle the winner of the Copa Gerdau Grade A R1 (1) Romain Arneodo (F...

First of a series of 3 Grade 2s/1s in France with British interest. It's a strong field, and Daneika's opponent has reached a Grade 1 final R1 (L32) Natalie Beazant (GBR) v Daria Salnikova (RUS) (3) Sophia Kovalets (UKR) v Daneika Borthwick (GBR) Lucy Brown (GBR) v (LL) Reka Muller (HUN)

British interest here is not likely to last long (in singles at least), but we do have two entrants. If Dan Cochrane manages to get past the 2008 Orange Bowl U14 winner then he will probably be up against the top seed R1 (L64) (WC) John Harrison Richmond (USA) v Daniel Cochrane (GBR) James Ireland (GBR)...

Liam Broady returns to junior action here, needing to win the tournament to break into the top 100 for the first time. He didn't have the best start today, losing his doubles.

After struggling on hardcourts and recently pulling out of Futures events Tom Allen returns to action on his favourite surface of clay. He is down to play a series of European junior events, trying to make the cut for Roland Garros. R1 (L64) (5) Tom Allen (GBR) bye

Jennifer Ren's form in South Africa has given her a top 8 seeding, and hence better chance of picking up the big quarter-final points, in the weakest of the four Asian Grade 1s. James Marsalek just sneaked a low seeding, but will probably have to beat last week's semi-finalist Ben Wagland to reach the q...

This is something of a rarity - a high grade African junior tournament not in one of the Mediterranean countries or South Africa. The reason appears to be that Nigeria is hosting the African Junior Closed Championships next week (hence the tournament title). A quartet of Brits made it here trying to t...

Jennifer Ren has flown over from South Africa and joins Jessica as a low seed.

For some reason the Uruguay Bowl was shifted from its normal place in the COSAT cycle to after the Copa Gerdau climax this year. As a result there are few Europeans left around, but Natalie Beazant has the misfortune to land in the same quarter as the best one here - top seed Ulrikke Eikeri from Norway. Sh...

The last chance for the girls to earn significant points in South America, and at least they have avoided top 100 players in round 1 R1 (L64) Jessica Pegula (USA) v Lucy Brown (GBR) Daneika Borthwick (GBR) v Denisa Allertova (CZE) Kerrie Cartwright (BAH) v Elisha Gabb (GBR)
