13 year old Francesca Jones, who is based at the local academy, has been given a wildcard to make her ITF debut, following some impressive results for her age in Tennis Europe events (she's a 2000 born, so has another year in the under 14s). Max Stewart has also had a fine season in the under 14s, but he has a tough draw here against the top seed.
