Our highest ranked boy after the junior US Open will get a WC to 1 of the October GB 25ks and the 2nd highest ranked will get 2 qWCs.

There's nothing similar for the girls, but our higher ranked girls get WCs anyway.

Hi Lambda - you are usually great at sourcing documents from the LTA that describe all of this (and in relation to your other post about the UKPL not providing wild cards) - do you have something this time?

Much appreciated if you do!!

I'll post the links in the British tournaments thread so as not to take this thread off topic.

Girls

There have been a good number of GB juniors taking part in adult competitions in the last couple of weeks (it being summer holidays, and there being some domestic events)

Not a huge amount of success though....

For instance, Isabelle Lacy, Ciara Moore and Ranah Stoiber all lost in R1 at Roehampton. And juniors in qualis also lost.

At Foxhills, however, Given Roach got an excellent win over Hule, WTA 323,

and Ranah defeated Marni Banks, WTA 421

Ruby Cooling (2007) also got a very good win in qualis over Lauryn John-Baptiste, WTA 826

Ella also beat Navarro WTA 647 and Given beat Conway, WTA 710

Other results elsewhere were not (IMO) particulalry noteworthy

Boys

The boys had no real wins of note, apart from Phoenix who beat Adam Jones, ATP 1210, in qualis in Roehampton, and Freddy Blaydes got a win in doubles with his brother.

Sorry if I've missed anyone ...

The best result amongst our juniors this week (week 33) has been Henry Searle (2006) who has made the QFs (and counting) in the 25k in Aldershot, beating Ben Jones and Oscar Weightman

Ella and Ranah lost in R1

Luca Pow, Zach Stephens and Henry Jefferson all lost in qualis. As did Lois Newberry, Ellie Blackford, Ciara Moore, Allegra Hodson, Jaquelyn Ogunwale and Ruby Cooling

However, excellent QR1 wins for Amelie Brooks (age 16) and Sophie Bekker (age 14) over seeded q players

Lucia Cassidy (age 16) has also picked up a couple of QR1 wins, but at 15k level and not against ranked players.

Congrats to Henry who leads the way in our junior boys
