National Championships?

Strange that the U18 boys champion only won a qualifying place when the U18 girls champion won a main draw place.

I don't think there is an issue around capacity to compete i.e. Providing a useful test vs a pointless thrashing, the issue is equity of prize money they can win and use in their development. There is absolutely no ppint in a 16 yr old boy getting a MD wildcard unless his name is Becker and he's got a 135mph first serve

As of 2021, seemingly the Junior Nationals have been moved to June.

And the winners will both get a wildcard into Wimbly qualifying.

It's an excellent idea to raise the profile of the event.

I don't know whether those juniors who are practically guaranteed a place in qualis already (such as Matilda Mut) would take part - you almost hope she won't in order to allow others a chance - but it will raise the whole profile of the event and certainly make more participate.
