This is traditionally one of the strongest under 14 events, leading up to Les Petits As. This year we have a number of highly seeded players, including Derrick Chen (top seed in the boys and currently ranked 5 in Tennis Europe) and Louis Davey (sixth seed. but only a 2004). On the girls side Kylie Bilche...

WR 250 may be around the target and that is currently on 211 points. Rather optimistically re the cut, WR 270 is c...
