QR1: Harry Meehan - BYE QR2: (q2) Harry Meehan WR 1005 v Leo Boos (FRA) UNR (Boos is a pretty lowly ranked 17/18 year-old. Harry really should win without too much trouble . . . .)

Anyway I got myself an e cigarette a month ago and haven't touched a cigarette since, it was so easy to give up this time! Obviously I am reliant on the e cigarette now but its way better...
At the end of each year Tennis Europe runs a Masters event for the top 8 under 14 and under 16s prepared to take part. Four years ago Josh Sapwell won the under 14s and this year it is Jake Hersey's chance to emulate him. He has a tough draw though against German Nicola Kuhn, who beat him in Les Petits As. Th...
