no Dunne or Dean, disappointing

The LTA has finally updated the drawsheets and Pippa continues her fine form, upsetting second seed Lucy Brown. Minor seeds Emily Crowe and Sian Bayliss were other casualties

I'd like to see Daneika step it up and take this title, on her Wrexham form she is definitely the favourite.

Be interesting to see how Pippa Horn does against Jess Ren.

She's not yet 15 ( dob 30/09/95 ) and has certainly been on a roll the last few weeks.

Easy to forget, by the way, that Jess herself is still a couple of weeks short of her 16th birthday  (  dob 23/08/94 )

With Katy Dunne, at about 15 1/2, in between Jess and Pippa, Eleanor Dean about 14 1/2 and coming up behind Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart, both just turned 14, quite a few to keep an eye on.

Well 24

There was also an upset in the doubles with Pippa Horn / Amy Hoburn beating top seeds Lucy Brown / Jennifer Ren 6-2, 6-1. That's a 1476 point difference in ITF junior rankings overcome. They now play third seeds Sian Bayliss / Daneika Borthwick.

The other semi is the fourth/second seeds Amy Askew / Chloe Murphy vs Jessica Ren / Ruth Seaborne.

Good to see some interviews, but someone should explain to the LTA you put the lights behind the camera, not behind the interviewee; or is someone taking guidelines on avoiding giving younger players too much media exposure too literally?
