Time for Eleanor to take the next step. She should be top 50 in juniors by now

Luke completes a clean sweep for the boys, but there is an alarming scoreline for Eleanor, if the ITF have it the correct way round.

Luke plays a dangerous opponent next, someone who was ranked above him (top 5) in the under 14s. Tom faces a late developer, who according to the ITF only started playing tennis at the age of 80

Luke narrowly keeps British interest going, with a good opportunity to make the semis

Luke has no difficulty beating the ambidextrous octogenarian - making his maiden Grade 2 final in style, gatecrashing the French party. That gives him enough points to get back into the top 50, which should be good enough for direct acceptance into the French Open
