Laura Robson bt Jennifer Ren 6-1, 6-1

wow, can't believe that scoreline! well done Laura!!

Great results from some of the boys as well, good luck to the remaining Brits.

Yikes what a result....didnt think she was that better than Ren !!!

Will be interesting to see how far George Morgan goes... easily the no 1 U14 in Britain

I remember reading an article about Eleanor Dean as 'the next big thing' in a newspaper...she trains at one of the spanish academies.....apparently she's regarded as the best 10 yr old in the world...could be a dark horse in the U12 girls

Girls U12s:

R3:
E Dean (GB) bt L Brouleau (Fra) 7-5, 6-1

R4:
E Dean (GB) lost to A Okuno (USA) 2-6, 3-6


Girls U14s:

R4:
E Tsay (US) bt L Robson (GB) 6-4, 0-6, 6-4


So a couple of surprise results there but both girls still have another 1-2 years to go in these age ranges
