Hollie Smart ('09) jumps about 2000 places to just outside the top-1000 in only her third ITF event
Freya Peet ('08) also soars into the top-1000, up over 500 places
Big congrats to Rhys Lawlor. We only have three 2009-er boys with ITF rankings and he made a significant move up last week, following his run in Rhodes.

Mimi inches towards the top-10 after her double win in Beijing. And decent jumps up for Mika and Gabia too. As well as Dani P But Hep slips out of the top-100 Lower down, the tournaments in Africa have yielded big moves up too, with young Freya Peet now in the top-500, and Grace and Alisha (both 2009-ers) doing well

hah, yes, I know in juniors it doesnt matter to you or as much generally. Nonetheless I guess if we track rankings as a thing, then there must be something in being our top player , even if only to get the kudos and pride of being that player?

It's fine, each to their own
I have no interest in adults either - it's nothing to do with adults v juniors - the only time I ever look who is GB number 1 or 2 or 3 (or whatever) is when I'm trying to do the year-end predictions
To me tracking the rankings is only about tracking the global standing, the fact that it's a GB list (and so someone must be top) is just a presentation, admin thing

it is a fair point and I know players like Evo have exactly that view as well, so well shared as a POV!
The current Tennis Europe race rankings are significant as they form the basis for entry to the Masters event in early November. The leading Brits are:
Boys
Mark Ceban 1 Rhys Lawlor 11=
Girls
Hollie Smart 8
Mark's ranking qualifies him directly obviously, but Hollie's doesn't. However 2 higher ranked girls (European Champion Luna Vujovic and former number 1 Ksenia Efremova) have opted out, so Hollie is also in the list which has been revealed. All the top 8 ranked boys are included, with details/profiles here

From David's link, and just for clarity, these are the top players who've chosen to enter the Masters.
A couple of points of note, for me: there are three Turkish lads in the top 8 boys - is this normal? Some reason the Turks do better in U14s and then fade? Or a real exciting cohort coming through?
Also, in the girls, Jana K is 2010 born, and Hollie is the only non-Eastern European player......
Boys 14 & Under
Mark Ceban (GBR, Race Rank: #1)
Kaan Isik Kosaner (TUR, #2)
Samim Filiz (TUR, #3)
