OK, I realise people will think we're soon going to be reporting on babes in their cradles with dangly tennis ball mobiles, BUT:

There's an U12 Category 1 event in Slovakia this week

Category 1 is obviously the top (I don't think there is a Super U12 category, like there is for the U14s - David or someone will let me know if I've got it wrong)

Certainly category 2 and 3 are far less important

Anway, the point being we have three pretty high-profile GB girls in the semis:

Ingrid Dimitru (born 2011 and the GB U11 national champion last year - she is a qualifier here and has worked her way through the main draw, barely losing more than a game here and there)
Liv Zingg (2011 and one of the LTA elite for teams etc)
Yanziye Zhang (2011 and the runner-up at the GB U11 national championships last year)

We also had a reasonable turn-out in the boys but they went out in the QFs

El Salvador, J60:

Athina Schlepphorst posted an excellent win, 6-1 6-0, over the 3rd seed and is into the semis

This is her best result yet in a J60/J4 event

(She does have her J5 finalist place from last year coming off at the end of the month, though)

Germany, J60

Ava Williamson lost in the QFs

In the Croatian U12 Cat 1 event, it was the cruellest of margins - but the crowd noise for the home girl must have been amazing:

Liv Zingg (GBR) LOST TO Romana Dekanova (CRO) 5-7 6-4 7-6(7)

As consolation, though, Liv and Ingrid won the doubles title
