As 13 year-old Grace Chinwike & partner have made the semis in the doubles, as have Tamara Kuti and partner
PS I watched some of Grace's matches at Les Petits As qualis this year, on Youtube - Grace is a strong girl and hits a lovely powerful ball - nice serve technique too

13 year-old Grace Chinwike & partner lost thier semis in the doubles, but that should see 2009-born Grace get an ITF junior ranking next week (she'll be only our 4th player, I think, of that age to have one)
Tamara Kuti and partner did one better, and have made the final
I really don't follow this but I love team tennis (especially for youngsters - should be mandatory - and not doubles-only county cup stuff that they seem to have for adults?) and I see that nearly all our top juniors are playing 18U County Cup this weekend
Even Hannah Klugman showed up for it, supposedly called up at last minute
She won her singles over Sarah Copley, without breaking sweat, and then the doubles too, with Amelia Tye
There were matches on Friday, Saturday and the final matches are today.
Just, randomly, results that I noted are:
Ben Gusic Wan defeated Oliver Bonding
Nao Nishino is playing (which is nice to see - maybe another 'Lily nationality change' at some point???)
Young Hollie Smart def. Serena Manca
Edie Griffiths def. Isabelle Britton easily
Hannah Read has barely broken sweat in all her matches
