Player of the Year Polls - Top Girl


By David C

Top Girl

Stephanie Cornish

Steph has moved rapidly this year from outside 500 to the cusp of the top 100, thanks to a late season spurt, which saw her capture a Grade 2 title in China, before beating a top 50 player in the Eddie Herr Trophy


Tara Moore

Tara played the top singles in the GB 16 & under girls team which finished runner-up at the Junior Fed Cup in San Luis Potosi. She also won the 18 & under Junior National Championships singles title.and reached the quarter finals of the doubles at Wimbledon (with Heather Watson).


Jessica Ren

Jessica was a member of the GB 14 & under team which claimed silver at the World Junior Championships and made Tennis Europes top 10 for her age group during the year. She won the national 16&under singles title and has moved into the top 400 of the ITF under 18 rankings, placing her within the top 20 of her year in the world


Laura Robson

Laura reached two finals in Grade 1 events (Roehampton and Italy), won the Junior Invitation Event at Eastbourne, the Eddie Herr Trophy doubles and was a member of the GB 14 & under girls team which finished runner-up at the World Junior Finals. Lauras main claim though is of course becoming the first British winner of a Junior Grand Slam since Annabel Croft, by taking the Wimbledon crown at the age of 14. As a result she is in contention for the world number 1 spot at the Orange Bowl.


Heather Watson

Heather started the year outside 300 but has had a phenomenal season end, winning the singles gold medal for Guernsey at the Commonwealth Youth Games in Pune and following this up by winning her first Grade 1 event in Mexico. Reaching the final of the prestigious Eddie Herr Trophy in the following week has seen Heather enter the top 30. She was also in the GB 16 & under girls team which finished as runners-up at the Junior Fed Cup.
