Most of the top under 14s are focused on the Super Category (equivalent to ITF Grade A) event next week in Sweden, which has 8 top 10 boys and 7 girls. Mark Ceban and Rhys Lawlor are still on the entry list there, but I see that Hollie Smart has withdrawn

J30 Bahrain

Yash Bahalkar carried on his good run and is into the QFs

As is Emma Cohen in the girls (although Alice Haddad lost in R1)

J30 Bahrain

Yash Bahalkar's run came to an end, in singles and doubles - good week though

But Emma Cohen is into the girls' semis in both


J60 Luxembourg

Kyle McKay won his QF in a third-set TB


J100 Austria

Oliver Hague lost in the QF

The Open Auray 12U event is the tip-top tournament for 12Us.

Many of the top players now first made their mark at this event

Megan Knight is a super prospect for the UK (not quite Hannah's league but a real talent - she's been mentioned before on our nationals pages - she won the GB nationals a year early - I really like her)

She's made the QFs here so far.

Liv Zingg made the last 16. Dasha Jones lost in R1

In the boys, Zak Kirnon also made the last 16. Sam Riley lost the round before. And Harry Swain lost in round 1

J60 Luxembourg

Kyle McKay won his SF (7-5 in the third ) and is into the final


J30 Bahrain

Emma Cohen won her SF too, and into the final

Unfortunately she and partner came up just short in the doubles final, losing the title 6-10 in the MTB


J30 Netherlands

(q) Charlie Ruffell is into the dubs SF

I appreciate that 12 year-old tennis is not everyone's cup of tea () but our Megan Knight is currently playing her semi at the Super Open 12 Auray and it's livetreamed here:

Her Latvian opponent won the big Boulogne-Billacourt event in December - she's a tiddler - puts everything back and finds some very nice angles - but has a doddy serve (even for a 12 year-old) and no real pace on the ball

Megan has a more aggressive game, better serve, more pace - but it's difficult to win a point

Currently 2-3*

Megan lost 6-2 6-4 in Auray

The first set was fair - Megan lost a tight game and then lost her way - let it get to her

The second set was a shame

She was 4-2 up, playing well and - again - a couple of VERY tight games where she has the upper hand but poor shot selection was largely to blame (her fault, of course, that's not unlucky) gave those games to the Latvian girl, who was having a bit of a wobble, who then got her mojo back

Shot selection needs work. And forehand technique in general (she slaps slightly at the short cross one and doesn't get her feet right for the down the line). Shame she isn't confident taking the ball out of the air - she tries and it's not far off but you can see her palpably tightening up.

But she has a lot of tennis in her - a lot of room for progress and you sort of feel it will come (well, I do )
