A stronger field than week 1, as some of the Wimbly juniors players show up. However, suddenly going back to clay is not ideal. Boys: Matt Rutter is top seed, and safely through to R2 Roy Keegan, seeded 3, however, got beaten easily by Anthony Weingarten, 2 & 2 Hugo Coquelin - our UNDER 16 National Ch...

Qualifying starts at Roehampton tomorrow for junior Wimbledon.

Girls & Boys: J5 Edinburgh, UK - clay (outdoor) (Week 27)

The J5 event in Edinburgh this week is practically 100% British - there's barely a foreign player (less than in the 'closed' events we had earlier) I'm also assuming quite a few of the top entrants won't be there as they have/had wildcards into Wimbly (i.e. Issey Purser and Jaquie O, for instance, hav...
