The week's top grade event sees Emily Smith and Mason Recci in action again. Perversely though Emily was seeded in the G2 event, the G3 is actually stronger, and she is therefore unseeded (there was more choice of tournaments last week) and faces a potentially tricky R2 match as a result. Mason will ag...
I don't think we normally report the Tennis Europe Junior Tour events (for under 12s, under 14s and under 16s) but as this one's in Edgbaston, it seemed a good idea: Boys: SF: Jake Hersey (GBR) (1) def. Zhao Lingxi (CHI) 7-5 6-0 SF: Tom Leblanc Claverie (FRA) def. Jack Draper (GBR) (WC) 2-6 7-6(1) 6-2 Fi...
The next 10K moves onto Sportcity, Manchester, with plenty more GB players appearing.

WC's have gone to Jasmine, Freya, Isabelle and Maia So w...

I suspect this will be the main focus of the forum this week, with lots of GB entrants at least 10 in main draw. Brown, Smith, Fitzpatrick, Boulter, Dunne and Ren made main draw. Lucy should be seeded. WC's for Christie, Lumsden, Askew and Wallace. Large entry of GB players in qualifying so would hope ha...
