There are a couple of J300 events this week. Some of our US Open bound contingent are taking part in a warm up event over there, but Europe is staging some events on clay providing good opportunities for those just below the US Open cut-off. Viktor Frdydrych takes on the winner of the recent Durban J300 while Gabia Paskauskas takes on one of the top under 14s, a finalist in the European Championships
Just Hannah making it through to the quarters. Gabia came very close but Viktor was disappointingly uncompetitive against a French lad whose record isn't noticeably better then his. Hannah has a tough quarter-final against the top seed who cruised past Mimi recently
