The two British players vying for most Junior singles & doubles titles this year are both members of the successful Tennis Europe Winter Cup squad. Jonny O'Mara caught up Chris Pearce over the weekend, and this is Chris's opportunity to add to his 6 titles
R1 (L32)
Jorge Wilton (GBR) v Remy Chala (FRA)

(WC) Botic Van de Zandschulp (NED) v Jathan Malik (GBR)
Comfortable opener for Chris, but Tommy narrowly missed a major upset against a 1995 ranked above Kyle, Luke et al for most of their under 14 career. Nihar bizarrely managed to play 2 tiebreaks without winning a point.
