looking ahead to paris, the juniors entries look like this;

www.itftennis.com/en/tournament/roland-garros-junior-championships/fra/2021/j-ga-fra-01a-2021/acceptance-list/

boys - jack pj and lui maxted direct, will nolan alt 22, derrick chen alt 36, joel pierleoni alt 92,

girls - matilda is a direct acceptance; amelia bissett is alt 22, jasmine conway alt 39,

not sure if they have qualies this year at rg and how likely those on the alts list are to play qualies or move up to da, they seem a long way down to my untutored eye

Looks as thought the Italians are bending over backwards to give their players a leg-up in a way the LTA would apparently never never dream of doing!
