QR1: Ewan Moore UNR defeated Edoardo Sardella (ITA) UNR by 5 & 1

*****

QR2: Ewan Moore UNR vs Artur Kulibaba (LAT) UNR

Kulibaba - there's a name to conjure with... The fact that there's no "s" at the end of his Christian name would indicate that he is not of 100% Latvian extraction &, having done a very quick check, I note that the surname is most common in Ukraine.

Bravo to Ewan !!!

Nice win and first ranking point, I believe :

Jonny G has taken The Grig to a first T-B but just lost out. Rather fear the second set will be quicker....

Brilliant for Ewan. He was one of two (relative) youngsters I met when he was training in La Manga about 18 months ago with Leon and Hilts - the other being Charlie Broom.

It is always a big day for any player to get their first ranking point. Great stuff.

I knew Ewan had moved abroad somewhere but couldn't remember where - it's Poland !

The group structure sounds great. And with his long-term coach. Good luck to him.

Well done to Ewan on his win and that first ranking point

He will be our fourth junior to currently hold a senior ranking :

Jay Clarke 4 points
Samuel Ferguson 2
Ewen Lumsden 1
Ewan Moore 1 - so far this week

Overall that's not great at all. But it has been good to see more of our juniors in senior action this week and hopefully a few can really push on in the relatively near future.

Yes. Just what I was thinking - nice to see so many playing this week (and in the girls too)

And Alexis Canter had a ranking up until very recently. And will again soon.

That's 4 1998-ers (with Ryan just being a question of time too).

(Ewen being younger)

The 1997s still look a little skinny though.....wonder if Bob knows if Joel will be playing soon ?

I have been keeping my eyes open on the entry lists. When I spoke to him at WImbledon, the plan was firstly a couple of BT events (which he played recently) then a family holiday which again he has been tweeting about, after which he was going to play 9 tournaments in 12 weeks. I am guessing he is now back in full training mode, ready to do that starting in September, but I have no further info other than that.
