Im sure this will warrant a separate thread in due course, the 14U entry list is out with Mark Ceban and our 14U National Grass Court finalists, Rhys Lawlor and Leo Wright accepting their invitations
In the main draw our 2 direct entries have to take on the top 2 seeds - not as daunting as it might seem as both lost in the first round at Roehampton (the top seed to Luca Pow), but nevertheless there are many easier looking draws.

Charlie played a solid first set to take it 6-4 but Ben and Zach have struggled so far. Zach won 1 game in the opener, and that was one more than Ben - Ben however has an early break in the second
Ben has endured a torrid grasscourt season winning 1 game at Roehampton and 2 here. Although he was overpowered he added to the problem with an unusually high number of unforced errors in the bits I saw.
Charlie was always in charge against his Czech opponent, playing particularly well towards the end, comfortable coming to the net and winning 6-4 6-2 Zach lost 6-1 6-2 (didn't see)
