A brilliant week for Conor, age 16

Who up till now, in singles, had only got 5 points for a QF J5 and 5 points for a L16 J4

30 new points here will catapult him up the rankings

And for Jakob too, age 17, who was unranked a couple of weeks ago, and only has one SF counter from last week


And really pleased for Maria, aged 15 (born 2007).

She is a way more established name, an interesting prospect. She won the Liverpool J30 last year in Nov. and made the semis there in Feb. One of our top 'other' 2007 cohort.

She's only ever played in the UK, basically at Liverpool and Loughborough. I've never seen her. I wonder if funding is an issue? But, ether way, good that at least there are more domestic junior events now....
