Last year Toby Samuel won this event, defeating Arthur Fery, with both having since moved towards the top of the British rankings. This year Harry Lazell and William Nolan are the highest British seeds (3 & 4). Also playing are top under 14s Luca Pow and Fabio Nestola. Full draw
With the TE matches taking place, quite a few matches are scheduled for the evening.
Unfortunately I cannot get across for any of the evenings this week....
Special mention to Phoenix Weir (born 2005) who took out Harry Lazell, 4th seed. And Luca Pow (another 2005) got a win too. Billy Blaydes also beat the 5th seed.

In fact, the GB youngsters are doing a good job - the top two seeds are 'pesky foreigners' so, being top seeds, not too surprising that they've got through.
But only one other pesky through to the last 8, the 7th seed German lad.
Our boys have taken care of all the rest
