must say the 1993/94 bunch are looking our best bet for the future. George i think played quite well at Wimbledon against Tomic so he's following that up really well

U16 Doubles Final

Morgan/Golding (GBR) d. (14) Ghilea / Porumb (ROU) 6-4 6-7(5) [10-8]

George and Olly become the first British winners of this title since Bates/Trotman in 1995

Kyle becomes the first ever Brit finalist in this category, which has an illustrious roll of honour, including Robredo, Ancic, Gasquet and Djokovic. Milojevic though is the dominant player, having won most of the tournaments he has entered, including Les Petits As

didn't Broady win U14 last year? let's hope for back-to-back wins!

As Kyle is the first ever Brit finalist I'm guessing no

Well done lads

I imagine you are thinking of the U14 Masters in the Autumn, which Liam won, beating top seed Moos Sporken in the first round. It was the aforementioned Dutchman who won the European Championships last year

Good week for the boys nevertheless including a rare European Championships title (Lee Childs being the last in any of the categories - winning singles and doubles with James Nelson (U18) in 2000).
