Boys & Girls: J1 Nottingham, grass (Week 25)
Permalink  

The first of the ITF junior grasscourt events is listed as a Grade 1 but it remains to be seen whether it will receive Grade 1 points, lower grade or none at all following the ITF announcement last month that "ITF ranking points will only be retained in UK-based LTA tournaments in ITF World Tennis Tour, Juniors, Wheelchair and Seniors international tours if satisfactory alternative equivalent opportunities exist in other countries."  Grade 2 is the highest alternative.

Qualifying starts tomorrow for 6 places in the main draw.  In the boys' event 5 of the top 6 qualifying seeds are British: Fabio Nestola, Freddie Ridout, Henry Jefferson, Roy Keegan and Kyle Hughes. Serena Manca, Marelie Raath, Hannah Smith and Paulina Jurkowska are among the top six girls qualifying seeds.

Draws can be found here

the number of BYEs in the boys and, in particular, in the girls is scandalous, IMO

Do we know if G1 or G2 points will ve added?

With our better juniors playing Wimbledon qualies, there are some huge opportunities for some big ranking jumps

 That was the question I posed but i don't have an answer. The strength of the Roehampton field suggests there are good points available, but we will probably have to wait until next Monday's rankings to find out unless there is anyone on the board with inside info.

Boys R2

(1) Gabriel Debru (FRA) v (WC) Benjamin Gusic Wan
William Jansen v (7) Nicholas Godsick (USA)
(11) Tanapatt Nirundorn (THA) v (WC) Viktor Frydrych

Yes, excellent day in the girls.

Five wins from wildcards is super

But I think the Maria Ustic result has been reversed - it's down now that she lost (from what I can see)

However, a really good crop of wins there
