For the sake of completeness, Ranah Stoiber was 2nd seed in qualifying with a bye in R1 but lost her first Q match 10-12.

Good to see Kylie playing after withdrawing at the Wirral.

How does it work in junior rankings with those who have reached an age where there are no longer a junior?

Do they all drop off at end of year?

Yes, I think it is completely calendar based.

So, come the first week of Jan, all the 2001-er drop out and everyone else has a big move up

Yes, with your last junior year being the year of your 18th birthday someone like Lui Maxted (dob 02/12/03) can no longer play juniors comparatively much earlier than an early in the year dob.

Though I guess if you are going to make it in seniors you want to have begun to move over before your 18th birthday anyway.

Lui is currently JWR 172, before his 16th birthday, and will then get that big jump when the 18yos leave the rankings at year end.

Peter's match is last on court. Ranah stayed on and partners Eva in doubles. Eva's next opponent has had a lot of success in lower grade events, with 4 titles so far this year.

Yes by my reckoning Lui will be in top 100 come January

A tough one for Lui against the JWR30 who beat Harry Wendelken in last week's Israel Grade 2 final. He and Eva/Ranah are through to the doubles semis.
