The European Junior Championships are divided into 3 age categories, with ITF points only available for the under 18s. We have had most success in recent years in the under 16 doubles where Kyle Edmund & Luke Bambridge were finalists last year, whilst Oliver Golding & George Morgan won the t...
This tournament, just a few km down the coast from where the ferries to Oostende arrive, is beginning to look like the main alternative to Dublin for those not staying in the UK to play County Cup next week. James Marsalek is a DA and judging by the qualifying draw, Joshua Jones has scraped in too, but th...

With our top under 14s Freya Christie and Lana Rush being lat...

Another good event in Canada for Samm Butler and Toby Mitchell, losing in the doubles semis, but Toby beating the number 1 seed and still going in singles.

He's joined by Evan Hoyt who has the chance to avenge a defeat by his Polish opponen...
