Tara Moore was a finalist in this event last year, but unless there are late withdrawals we don't have a single direct entrant this time. Seven wildcards have been announced: Lucy Brown, Francesca Stephenson, Katy Dunne, Daneika Borthwick, Pippa Horn, Katie Boulter and Jessica Ren. Qualifying ta...

Laura Deigman is a direct entry, and is joined by Georgina Sellyn as a (not very) lucky loser. Georgina has to tackle a prodigiously talented Swiss girl, the top ranked 1997 in Tennis Europe events last year, coached by Martina Hingis's mother R1 (L32) (Q) Belinda Bencic (SUI) v (LL) Georgina Sellyn (...

I wondered what the story with Mr Carpenter is? He seemed to have a very high profile as a 14-16 year old but now, is quietly going about his business seemingly on his own? Is he outside the LTA as such???? His results on the clay look okay for someone his age, is he still regarded as one to watch for the fu...

This week's top junior event sees Eleanor Dean start a series of clay court tournaments (Futures + Juniors) having decided not to enter any grass court events this year.

Some awful draws for our quintet here. Only Evan Hoyt manages to avoid a strong seed in the first round, and he is likely to face the second seed next if he wins. Chris Pearce, Joshua Page and the Watts twins lost in qualifying. Boys R1 (L32) (1) Maxim Lunkin (RUS) v Sam Hutt (GBR) (3) Patrik Fabian (SVK) v J...

Mixed fortunes for our three musketeers. Oli has a nice section starting with a qualifier, and should be looking to make the quarters, where he is seeded to meet the top junior Tiago Fernandes (ATP top 400).

The entry lists are out for Roland Garros, containing a couple of surprises. In the Boys there are just 2 of the top 40 missing, but one of these is Liam Broady.

Luke Bambridge's doubles exploits have earned him a Special Exempt and an opportunity to avenge a defeat a couple of weeks ago against an Italian wildcard. George Morgan has to tackle the 1996 sensation Quinzi whilst Liam tackles a fast rising 1995 boy R1 (L64) (SE) Luke Bambridge (GBR) v (WC) Amerig...

Katie Boulter, Beth Askew and Alannah Griffin look for some Turkish delight in a field led by last week's winner Kathinka von Deichmann of Liechtenstein, who like Joshua Sapwell didn't drop a set in the main draw.

Katy Dunne joins the trio for the second Austrian grade 2, and has a winnable match, but Josh Ward-Hibbert has it all to do again against the boy who was the Tennis Europe U14 number 1 in Liam's year.

Eleanor Dean has struggled to make much impact on the clay court season, but this Grade A may give her an opportunity. She is seeded to qualify and her section, starting with an unranked Italian, doesn't look too daunting. QR1: (2) Eleanor Dean (GBR) v Elena Musso (ITA)

Both Peter Ashley and Joshua Sapwell have qualified for this, the first of two Turkish Grade 4s, with a lot of difficulty R1 (L32) Mikhail Khmiadashvili (GEO) v (Q) Peter Ashley (GBR) Can Cetinel (TUR) v (4) Clay Crawford (GBR) (Q) Joshua Sapwell (GBR) v (2) Durukan Durmus (TUR)

Our top two ranked 1995s are in the warm-up for next week's Grade A. Both play Italian wildcards in round 1, with Kyle's opponent the stronger of the two, having hammered Jonathan Cornish in a final earlier in the year. If seedings prevail Kyle will meet top seed and world number 2 Hugo Dellien in the qua...

By contrast to Peter Ashley and Joshua Sapwell, National under 14 champion Alannah Griffin cruised through qualifying, losing just one game. She joins Katie Boulter, impressive in the recent Bournemouth 10K, and Beth Askew in the main draw R1 (L32) Irina Toidze (GEO) v (6) Beth Askew (GBR) Guinaz D...

A career best win for Alex Sendegeya to start the tournament here - his opponent being ranked just outside the top 100. As it's a 64 draw he'll need another win to score any points though.

Both our boys here will be hard pressed to come away with a win. Jessica Ren has a slightly better draw on her return to action following shin splints, but even so her opponent has been a finalist in lower grade events twice this year.

Evan Hoyt finds himself in a very strong quarter here. His opening opponent won a recent grade 3 without dropping a set, and if he avoids being impaled tomorrow then Max De Vroome, who beat him twice in Nottingham en route to both titles, is a likely quarter-final opponent. R1 (L32) Franz Sydow (NED) v (...

Luke Bambridge moves over from France to join Evan Hoyt, along with Jonathan Cornish, in a strong Grade 2. To win any points they will need to defeat one of the seeds, all of which are top 100. Evan lost in qualifying, but gets in as a Lucky Loser to face a rematch with last week's nemesis. The girls event i...
