Another good day, especially for our younger players - and a great result for Brandon (triple yeh!!!) with an easy win over the SECOND seed:

Boys R2:

Brandon MURPHY (GBR) (age 15 (born 2000), JWR 1766)* def. Jochen BERTSCH (GER) [2] (age 17, JWR 343) 6-3 6-1

Joshua GOODGER (GBR) def. Gauthier ONCLIN (BEL) 4-6 6-2 6-3

Alexandre DOAN VAN (FRA) def. George BARFOOT (GBR) 7-6(1) 6-2

Brandon seemingly plays very little junior tennis but has a wonderful natural, fluid armspeed and acceleration. Flagged up before but worth noting again - really great to watch.

Girls R2:

Gemma HEATH (GBR) [5] def. Mathilde TRIGAUX (BEL) 4-6 6-2 6-4

Destinee MARTINS (GBR) [12] def. Zara DE SCHUTTER (BEL) 6-3 6-2

Juliette TALIEU (FRA) def. Alice GILLAN (GBR) 6-3 6-2

Stefania ROGOZINSKA DZIK (POL) def. Chelsea May SAMWAYS (GBR) [6] 6-1 6-4

All the winners are short of a full set of counters so will get the full benefit of the new points and a pretty big ranking rise.

Many thanks, David.

I could have sworn I'd written a post with most of that info - guess it got lost in cyberspace.... i.e. I forgot to hit the send key cry

Hope Destinee's OK.....
