A big week for top-end junior tournaments with 1 G1 and 3 G2s. Fran Jones and Ali Collins have picked arguably the strongest G2. Fran has a toughish assignment against one of the highest ranked non-seeds, who has reached a G1 quarter-final R1 (L32) (3) Francesca Jones v Daria Solovyeva (RUS) (6) Ali Co...
Last week Barnaby Smith sneaked into the Hungarian G2 as a Lucky Loser, and proceeded to be the last Brit standing. This time he successfully negotiates qualifying to join 4 other Brits. Jack Draper plays the 4th seed, who beat Jake Hersey and Jack Molloy en route to a G3 final earlier this month, while...
Five out of seven young Brits came through the final quali round. To join Olivia Elliott and a cluster of about 6 boys in the MD. BOYS FQR:Douglas MACINTOSH (GBR) [2] 4-6 6-3 6-0 Lorenzo LORUSSO (ITA) [6]Giulio ZEPPIERI (ITA) 6-0 6-4 Blu BAKER (GBR)Hamish STEWART (GBR) [4] 6-2 7-6(2...
Tom is top seed in the qualis, which is always a pain in the backside really, with extra matches to play, especially when he hasn't had a rest day after the doubles final yesterday. When his two points from last week go on, hopefully he might be able to steer clear of qualis, if he chooses to play any more IT...
A welcome return to action for Ryan Storrie and Katie Swan, since their Wimbledon retirements, as all of our US Open entrants warm up here. Alastair and Katie play today - the 4th meeting this year for Alastair and his Uzbek opponent, who is ranked inside the ATP top 900: 2-1 to Alastair so far Boys R1 (L6...
This is a pretty weak 25k , with Farris being 11th on the acceptance list, at WR 898, which is EXACTLY the same as at the 10k in Sharm the week before - not often that Egypt beats Canada.... QR1: Darryl Hale (GBR) UNR v Stefan Frljanic (CAN) UNR -- Edited by Coup Droit on Saturday 27th of August 2016 07:56:04...

Last year Jay Clarke won both Egyptian G2s to propel himself to a ranking for direct acceptance to Slams in his final junior year. Looking to take the same path in an equally weak event (just 4 players ranked inside 200 on entry) are Finn Bass and Max Stewart R1 (L32) (4) Max Stewart v Nikshep Ballekere Ra...
Just wondered if anybody here was thinking of making the trek over to Rio for the Olympics ? I am certainly thinking of heading down to Rio, although I have left it very late to get tickets/accommodation etc. But there still seems to be some decent deals on rental apartments or home stay accommodatio...
Dan Dowson, like Tom, ends up being the top Q seed, one place out of the MD.... Worth noting that this event, for instance, is WAY stronger than the 25k in Canada this week (9 players in the top 500, compared to 5 in Calgary) QR1: (q1) Dan Dowson (GBR) WR 857 v Juan Granell Heredero (ESP) UNR -- Edited by Stir...
