End of week 2 of 4 and not a lot to get excited about this week! Tiffany William seems to be the only singles player in action still, Neal, Lloyd, Julian and Henry in mens doubles, Eden and Emily in womens, the BJK Cup team to play this weekend and national juniors to be completed. The clay season is with us and the pickings are thin!
