Not an expert but it looks like we have 3 weeks left on the junior tour and 3 big events - the JA event in Yucatan, Mexico, then the J1 in Bradenton, and JA in Plantation (Orange Bowl?). I can see Will Nolan, Ranah Stoiber on entry lists for those but not many others.
We also have a J3 in Loughborough with more Brits in, it looks like a few more Brits playing incl Matt Rankin and Mingge Xu, but not many really for a home event.
There is also the junior Orange Bowl (3rd week of December) for U14 and U12 with quite a few Brits, including Hannah Klugman, on the entry lists last I looked.
The results of the J4 in Liverpool have obviously had a good effect on our players.
Luca Pow, as singles winner, in particular.
And Matt Rankin adds his second best counter for runners-up place in Israel.
While Pat Brady also added 60 points, from his J2 exploits.
Special shout out too to Henry Searle - our highest ranked 2006-er - we've now got four in the top 1000 - Henry, Zach, Viktor F, and Jamie Diack.

Isabelle Lacy gets 36 points for her RU place in Liverpool, J4. And Giulia Lesa (another 2006-er) have cracked the top 800, with Abby K (2007) Just outside.
Major moves thanks to Loughborough, J3 mainly (Also, I think the Nigerian one got added a week late, and some admin changes)
But the JA USA puts Ranah as our top junior now, and Matilda slips out of the top 100 (although Matilda obviously still wins, as per WTA points)
Will be interesting to see the rankings in the new year with the 18 Yr olds removed and the old results removed pre covid.
The old results are removed from these rankings now, but yes the 2003 players will drop off in the new year. A higher drop off in the boys in this area, certainly at the higher end.
Thanks, Tennisdad. I'd assumed that, as there were so many unexplained changes, so thought it must be an admin thing about the old results, but glad to get it confirmed.
We have tons of big jumps outside the top 1000 too, including for promising youngsters such as Daniela etc. But just too many to list.
Particularly impressive that a 2005-born boy has won the boy's title - really rare for it to be a lad who's a full two years younger.
