Featuring all the usual suspects, with the only surprise being that Gabi Taylor has entered Wimbledon.

I'm not surprised that Gabi has entered Wimbledon - it's common for any of our juniors playing on the Pro circuit to do so, but interesting that she entered Roehampton (which clashes with the first week of Wimbledon) and has withdrawn. Maia Lumsden though hasn't entered either event.

I'd say that Gabi has made a much better choice than Maia, who seems to have disappeared.

In general, the Pitaks seem to be pursuing a course of only playing adult events, which is interesting and could yet work out very well for them; but Junior Wimbledon would have been a good exception to make.

Without much of a junior (or senior) ranking, the Pitak sisters wouldn't have got in.

Also assume Maia, being 98 born, could well be in the middle of her A level exams during junior Wimbledon.  And if she's not sitting an exam that week, tennis has probably had to take a back seat to academics for a while, not ideal preparation.
