Boys & Girls: J30 Loughborough, GB - hard (Week 41)


GB is hosting some low-level ITF junior events. Which I think is excellent (wish they'd do 15ks for adults too). 

It kicks off with a J30 at Loughborough, followed by a J60 here

And then they're doing the same in Liverpool (J30 followed by J60) in November 

(with a J60 in Glasgow and a J100 at Liverpool at the start of Dec) 

 

This event has some very good interest in the girls. 

I'm pretty sure that Hollie Smart will have got a main draw wildcard.

And also Edie Griffiths 

Which will be our 2009-er dream team (minus Hannah K) in action 

And quite possibly Lara Savic?  As Lara was part of our World Cup team in summer. 

(and Sophya Devas?)

 

A quali wildcard has gone to young Katie Chen  (but that's the only QWC) 

 

In the main draw, the top three seeds are foreign players. Followed by Mia Wainwright, Isabella Walker, Tegan Bush, Sirena Waas and Arabella Loftus, to make up the top 8.

Other players of interest (to me) are Isabelle Britton, Sarah Copley and Alice Wilson-Marsh

In the boys, Harry Lumb is the top seed in qualis, and Oliver Page #2

Wildcards have gone to:

Evan Lendrum (14 year-old and a new name to me)
Murray Watters (14 year-old and presumably the younger brother of Rhys?)
Harry Cornhill (age 14)
Oluwajomiloju Aminu (age 14, who has done very well in Tennis Europe events this year - and I think goes by the name Mo)
Archie Gray (age 15)

In the acceptance list, the top seed is Norwegian, followed by Conor Flynn, Zech Hamrouni, Lawrie Wilkin, Joe Mazinghma, Alfie King and Finn Lester

Glad you mentioned Liverpool. Will try and get along. The J100 in Dec is Loughborough not Liverpool

First Q round is now complete in the girls

Lots of seeds lost - ranking and seeding is even more 'vague-idea-only' at this end of the ranking list

Congrats to Hannah Watkins who beat the top seed, 14 year-old Charlotte Pollard who beat the Irish 2nd seed and Eva Senior and Molly Robinson who also beat seeds.
And to 14 year-old Eva Hutchins, Allegra Hodson and Sofia Maine who beat foreign players

Again, lots of 'upsets'

Ellison Minnaar beat the top seed, Daniel Franco-Key beat the 2nd seed, young Mo Aminu beat the 3rd seed, and Billy Moxon also beat the 8th seed

R2 Girls

Our two 2009 LTA top picks, Hollie Smart and Edie Griffiths, got wins today. (This will be the first time Edie picks up any ITF ranking points so especially well done to her)

Qualifier Shamiso Ndoro (age 15) also won, as did wildcard Sophya Devas, and Isabella Walker

and Sophia Christodoulou (age 15) did well, beating the 7th seed

So the top two 'pesky' seeds are still going strong, but the rest of the field is now all-GB

Joe Mazingham beat the top seed, with no trouble

Which leaves us with an all-GB SF line-up

Joe Mazingham v Zech Hamrouni

Harry Abel v Alfie King

In the girls, Edie Griffith (2009) came within a whisker of beating the top seed (losing 7-5 in the third)
Hollie needed a third-set TB to beat Sophya
Sophia Christodoulou (2008) beat the 2nd seed

So the SFs are:

Kliuch (UKR) v Isabella Walker

Hollie Smart v Sophia Christodoulou
