Is that a typo on u12's or does Shanice Weekes have any connection to GB?

Think Shanice is another player from Hackney City Tennis initiative, where Lauryn JB started out before she got a scholarship to West Hants Club and Talbot Heath School

It was interesting to see there don't seem to be that many bread sticks and bagels being handed out indeed the number 1 seed in the Girls U14 Noa Krzniac got taken to 3 sets in her first round match. She is just on the cusp of the top 300 JITF and pretty dominant in her last 3 grade 4's but not making much headway yet having stepped up to grade 1 and A. In her last grade 5 in August she beat Maria Budden in the final.

I am right in thinking that Holly and Kylie have another year in the under 14's and Emma is a year older in tennis terms?

In theory yes in that Holly and Kyle were born in 2003, 20/03 and 24/02 respectively, and Emma was born 13/11/02.

But I wouldn't expect Holly in particular to be near the under 14 competition next year in the same way that most leading 2002s are not involved this year but play higher ages.

Emma won the all-British battle for the second successive tournament, and like the Eddie Herr she next plays a Canadian (who Emma beat in 3 sets last time). Holly progressed smoothly.

R4

(7) Emma Raducanu d. (9) Kylie Bilchev 6-2 6-4
(2) Holly Fischer d. Lisa Pigato (ITA) 6-4 6-3

QF

Natasha Sengphrachanh (CAN) v (7) Emma Raducanu
Jada Bui (CAN) v (2) Holly Fischer

It is great to have three such talented players in the same age group. Very early days for all 3, I just hope they are all able to stay fit and get the chance to fulfil their talent. I don't think one will get a true idea of their capabilities until they have finished their education.

Next year will be their first year of studying for GSCEs so academically they are all in the same boat, in the short term how they and their families choose to sail it may impact rankings purely because of the number of tournaments they commit to if it hasnt already.

Hypothetically Emily Arbuthnot possibly could have made a dent in the junior top 10 if she had upped and off to Florida or Spain at 14 rather than stay in conventional schooling, play a bit of Lacrosse and remain fully committed to education into her 20's. She could still potentially follow the likes of Nicole Gibbs on to a WTA career.

Interestingly I now see Nicole and Hev as direct rivals and feel that perhaps while Hev was a very successful junior Nicole was keeping her powder dry knocking out some decent SATS scores.

Yeah I suspect Holly will be challenging in the Under 18's next year.
