Millie Bissett came through qualifying in style for the Eddie Herr tournament, winning her final qualifier 0 & 0, to ensure British interest in the girls event. We have three boys in the main draw, plus one or two in the under 14/under 16s (Fabio Nestola the most well known). Felix Gill defeated his opponent in 3 tough sets in a Spanish Grade 2 recently, but Toby Samuel has drawn the short straw of the JWR21, who was a finalist in the Japanese Grade A
