George has a tough looking match coming up. Martin Cuevas is WR51 Pablo's younger brother, and is comfortably in the top 1000. George does state clay to be his favourite, and it's the surface where he reached his one Grade 2 final and European under 16 championships semi.

no - surprisingly perhaps given the suitability of his game for grass, though we do have a number of other juniors whose stated favourite surface is clay (Ashley Hewitt, Tom Allen and Natalie Beazant for instance - and the majority don't have a preference on their ITF profile)

Excellent stuff.
Next up, wr 17 junior who is based in Florida.
It says his fav surface is hard, so there is always a chance.

Also, Olly beat him at the Aus open first round
