Densher · Intermediate Club Player

Mark still has the doubles final to look forward to at least. His vanquisher in the singles, Darderi, was the player he beat in the semi-final last week. He should take some encouragement from taking a set off him this week as Darderi has otherwise coasted into the final with very lopsided victories.

DavidC · Tennis legend

There is an important domestic tournament taking place this week - the under14 Grass Court nationals. The significance is that the finalists will all win a place in the Wimbledon U14 Invitational event, which debuted last year. Mark Ceban (see above) is missing, but has entered the Tennis Europe Roehampton U14 Cat 1 event in 2 weeks time, which is also a qualifier for Wimbledon.

Never heard of Lara Savic.....
