Boys: Wirral Junior International Liverpool (Week 1), hard - Grade 4 (Week 46)
Permalink  

This year's tournament in Birkenhead extends to 2 weeks. The boys start tomorrow (the girls on Wednesday) with Felix Gill top seeded (facing Joe Leather) and Toby Samuel seeded 4, but he faces a tough opener against Harry Lazell.  The draw is up  here

First week is upgraded to a G4 and week 2 is a G5.
Didn't realise they had extended to 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, I'm out of the country so will miss this event for the first time since it came to Liverpool.

Why are there no qualis at this event?

It's only a 32 draw.

Are we saying that we don't have any youngsters who want to play qualis for the domestic event? Or did Wirral deliberately make it main draw only somehow?

 It took me by surprise as well (there were qualis last year).  However there are qualis next week, so I guess that the tournament applied to the ITF for an exemption this week , perhaps because the venue was unavailable over the weekend for some reason.

The Tennis Europe event (cat 3) is going on at the same venue and the same time with, obviously, a lot of GB players.

So might as well mention it here too:

SF:

(1) Matt Rankin (GBR) v (3) Jonah Gethin (HKG, but is based here, I think, and goes to Cheadle Hulme school)

(4) Luca Pow (GBR) v (q) Mathis Pinoit (FRA)
