Good news Smith was there watching. JL wouldn't have been seen dead at an event like this.




To defend JL a little bit Smith is also the new head of men's tennis not just the DC captain.

Ben Mullis seems to be enjoying the conditions: 4 sets played & 3 won with a bagel! Do you know much about him at all?



Very quick on the ball there, m2k9! Ben's gone all the way to the final

edmund wins 6-4 6-0, very impressive, and btw i thought bambridge was the big talent, but edmund has won their two big meatings(here and u14 national finals), and is first to win a grade 4 title, and did so without dropping a set, and dishing out a lot of bagels

Ive heard of bakery products, but never before have i heard someone hand out a 'butchers' to someone wink

 hmm dont know who is the bigger talent - i think Luke won Eddie Herr, but Kyle made Orange Bowl semis, so who knows?!?! Good to have competition though, a la Morgan/Golding

I am rather impressed by my spot there! Congrats to Kyle though. Ben should also be pleased, he seems to be very hot and cold but managed to string together a hot week. Hopefully will boost his confidence.

I would say that Luke was much more consistent than Kyle and I would still take him as the better prospect.

Great for Kyle and congratulations to him  clap.gif

As The Knight says, great to have competition and hopefully they will spur each other on. 

Without really following that closely, I do get the impression that Luke is indeed more consistent so far than Kyle. But if there's one thing juniors generally have in abundance it's inconsistency, and what usually interests me most for their future potential prospects is what are they like at their best.

Interesting article from the Harman about Luke. Worrying though that he finishes the article by referring to the top juniors who failed when trying to make the grade in the seniors.
