Max lost out but Harry and Marni are comfortably through to the quarters. Marni lost to Swiss player Sebastianna Scilipoti in the final last week, and she beat Marni's next opponent in the semi-final. They will probably be thankful for being on the opposite side of the draw to Scilipoti this week, as she has just beaten the second seed.

Ah pity re the singles finals. But yes very good week for Harry and Marni. Marni will probably be into the top 50 ranked juniors.

Harry though is finished with juniors at year end and has yet really to impact senior tennis. Marni has another year, indeed just turned 17 in October, but would imagine she will be transitioning much more over to seniors in the new year. Looks like time as a 17 yo top 50 junior who has progressed quite nicely this year.
