Jack's semi is against the JWR6, who is yet to drop a set, and defeated George at Roehampton. Looking imperious in the top half of the draw is the JWR1, yet to be troubled by anyone. Tseng won the French Open and reached the Australian Open final, and has recently won a couple of Futures events to take his ATP ranking to 601

Another great win for Jack, still can't but help but think the QWC were spot on, George arguably our strongest junior plus a junior QF, SF and doubles finalist at worst. I still think there has been immense value in the top quality preparation this afforded on grass in the type of atmosphere likely to be encountered later for an elite crop of juniors. I see the selections as a bold move, change is challenging to accept.

I have no insight into any bias around previous support but regardless this group at junior level are the best we have had since the 1995 cohort and having been selected they are performing. Admittedly this is the very beginning but it should facilitate more opportunity.

It was interesting seeing TCU's head coach was over here recruiting although Anton would be a good fit from a tennis perspective Maths, Further Math's, and Economics A levels perhaps not the best fit academically; perhaps he is interested in psychology and mathematical models around anchoring and heuristics. We all have our biases when decision making on a background of uncertainty and prospective analysis of them.

A very nice set of results so far congratulations to all the boys good luck to Jack and Aidan.

I think its an easier time to be a successful British junior at the moment. I must admit I didnt follow tennis so much in 2010 but there are quite a few breaking through to around the top 200 on the womens side now, with Laura, the Katie(y)s, Gabi and Harriet, to back up Jo, Naomi and Heather and theres Jay, Liam, Cam, Dan and Kyle, as well as Andy on the mens side. Maybe just a bit less pressure as the media spotlight is less concentrated on a couple of players.

Jack's SF is under way. Gone with serve so far.

3-2*

Suddenly a flurry of breakpoints created by Jack - 3 in the first game and one in the third game, but he doesn't play them well so Mejia holds for 2-1*

Jack has to fend off another bp, but Nicolas holds easily for 4*-5

Jack missed a great chance at 6-5 in the tiebreak, and Mejia went on to take it 8-6
