With many of the players in the Osaka Grade A (both events there incidentally were won by Kristina Mladenovic, who thus virtually guarantees the number 1 world ranking at the end of the year) coming here the field is strong for a Grade 2 and 5 of our 6 girls were forced to qualify.

Boys: Nokia Junior Cup, Finland - Grade 4 (Week 42)

Stefan Sterland-Markovic is having a good week here so far. I notice that his most recent victim claims grass as his favourite surface, despite the lack of such courts in Russia and never having played on it in an ITF event - perhaps a tongue-in-cheek comment. Singles R1 (L32) (4) Stefan Sterland-Mar...

With the majority of our top boys playing Spanish Futures it falls to 4th ranked 1993 boy Robert Carter to maintain interest, and he is fortunate t...
