The start of the North American finale to the junior season is in Mexico where Oliver Golding and George Morgan should figure among the top 8 seeds. Kyle Edmund and Natalie Beazant are also acceptances for the main draws, whilst Luke Bambridge just missed out on automatic entry. He isn't in qualifyin...
No, this is not a rant at GB players not coming through, and most of us would probably agree that the 1990 born in particular is one of GB's better years ( Evans, Smethurst, Cox, Alex Ward, Pauffley ) What it is is a wonder at what has happened to the whole world's 1989 and 1990 borns ! I was aware it wasn't...

L32: (SE) James Ward WR 217 v Qualifier (3) Adrian Mannarino (FRA) WR 97 and (7) Blaz Kavcic (SLO) WR 109 are the seeds in Wardy's quarter. Interesting that he took an SE here when he had scraped into Salzburg, though perhaps he didn't know about that when the SE was being sorted out.

AFAICS Verena Jane Scott is the only British player in ITF Junior main draw action this week (the main North America circuit finale with Oliver Golding, George Morgan et al starts next week). Like Laura Deigman she roves the world to play tournaments, and won the doubles in Qatar earlier in the year, b...
A few Brits have played in the lower divisions of this competition, I think (even there, there's good money available, I believe) but Wardy is actually playing in the premičre division this year, as is Anne Keothavong in the women's competition which starts on Sunday. While the men's premičre divi...
