Yes. And the lists looks even better if you have the birth dates in it - especially for the boys - because, unlike most years, there are so many who are 2001-ers and have two more years in juniors (if they want).

Thats the way it has to be really to make the next step, at 17 for the boys and arguably 16 for the girls the focus should be on starting their assault on the senior top 500.

Although the normal caveats apply, the boys' new junior rankings makes extremely nice reading, with 5 in the top 100, and three of those being 2001-ers.

Those are big lists, which does seem to tie in with our juniors playing ITFs proportionately rather more than other countries.

Oakland2002 · All-time great

I am still pretty excited by the potential of the junior girls, my impression is Fran wad focusing on her transition to seniors and a top junior ranking wasnt a major objective although 34 is still pretty healthy. Gemma has another two years and looked very competitive indeed beat the top 20 American I saw her play at Rohehampton and hopefully Emma, Holly F and Amelia are all fit for 2018 with time on their side and no big exams this summer.

As said before, when I was in France this summer the FFT bods I met were very complimentary about the girls from the UK - they hadn't been directly involved but they'd 'heard' that the level had been very high, and that there were a couple who 'really could play'. The trouble is they couldn't remember the names ! Or the exact age group - but I doubt it was the older ones so probably Millie/Emma/Indy/MJ or even Matilda/Andrea/Kylie.
Like you, will be keen to see what Gemma does this year - she has great natural ball skills (as well as being a powerful girl who wallops the ball).
