Josh G must be getting paid a good whack to be able to leave his day job for a few weeks and allow the like of Neil/Sean to cover. I think he is out there for three weeks.

Don't think the Canter family are short of pennies! Alexis has had some sort of full-time individual coach from quite a young age.
Not entirely surprising. Mr Lim came onto my radar recently when I was pondering how rankings relate to number of tournaments played. On an ITF list of the top 400 boys arranged by number of tournaments, he was close to the top, having played 10 tournaments and being ranked 250. Quite a high points to tournament ratio, especially considering that he's a 1999.
(For what it's worth, the highest points to tournaments ratio for boys belonged - surprise, surprise - to Alexander Zverev, followed by Mr Kozlov and Mr Safiullin. For girls, the results were skewed by Katerina Stewart, who only played one tournament - the US Open - and reached the semifinals. Leaving her aside, Darya Kasatkina, was first, followed by Ms Xu and Ms Abanda ... who only played three tournaments. NB: All these are rough calculations and come without any warranty that I've not missed someone!)

The five tournaments Lim played last year (singles and doubles make up the 10) were all in the first half, culminating in a G3 success, so he is unbeaten since March
