And just to say that Youssef and Andrew are also into the finals in the doubles, having won three rounds, all in two sets.

Not heard much of the two boys, but their profile suggests both 17 yrs old, but nice to see them competitive.

Georgina I am aware of, but didn't realise she was still 14. I thinks she trains in the group with Katy Dunne, under Jo Durie and Alan Jones. She is getting some good points here and could jump up the rankings.
There seem to be a big group of talented 99 girls progressing nicely - Axon, Swan, Burrage etc

Hi, am a refugee from the GB Tennis Girls Board, which is sadly fading away under a sea of spam...

Youssef trains at Bath and is off to US uni next academic year

Hi, the Optimist (like it smile). I was never a member but I liked to follow the GB Girls Board too but, as you said, have stopped bothering in the last few months because it's only kitchen sales spam. It's a shame though. . . .cry

Glad to hear the news about Youssef.

 Welcome to the board smile  Youssef's US College application video can be found at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71EG6pUokGQ

There are live scores available today at http://www.tennisscores.de/livescore/itfjun/livescorer.html?tournid=910#app=2806&568-selectedIndex=1

Currently Youssef is 3-6 4*-0  with Georgie next on court (her QF score was indeed as Mervatron says - apologies for the omission)

Welcome to the board, Optimist.

Kitchen spam? We get it too. I seem to spend half my morning deleting it and banning the IP - and I'm sure the other Mods often beat me to it. I had 9 to delete one morning. . .

You're doing a great job, Madeline. There seems to have been an influx of it in the last week or so, but you and the other mods zap it really quickly - keep up the good work smile
