Boys will be boys
(Preview)
From an article in the Mirror - (the lads were at a training camp in Spain) Teenagers Jack Carpenter and George Morgan, two of our likeliest lads, had their collars felt by police called to a disturbance at the block of flats where they were staying in Barcelona. They were ordered to apologise to neighb...

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...

The penultimate top tier junior event of the year sees a relatively weak field, especially in the Boys event, where players outside the top 100 are seeded. 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...
