 In the Egypt M15, Giles Hussey is just in the singles SF so far though George Houghton & Dan Little have reached the doubles final.

 Do you know my brain keeps telling me it is Saturday and so I automatically assume any match is a semi in singles. Anyway, at least Giles is still in.

Let's get Fran on the list and hope it looks even better in a couple of days.

1. Oliver Bonding, for winning the J500 "Banana Bowl", dropping only one set along the way. Oli is the first British boy to win a J500 event since they were introduced in 2023, having earlier in the week become the first British boy to reach the semis or beyond of a J500 event. Prior to the introduction of J500s, only three other British boys had won any of the equivalent top-level "Grade A" tournaments, the last of them being George Morgan, who won the 2010 Orange Bowl.

2. Alfie Hewett - won the Super series Cajun Classic, beating world number one (Oda) in the final and for a secomd straight week to take his consecutive wins now to 12 matches. Also won the doubles title (w/ Gordon Reid). On 18th March, Alfie also went back to world number one!

3. Luke Hooper (2006) - two J100 singles titles, back to back, at Loughborough

4. Mingge Xu (Mimi) - aged 16 - for winning the doubles title at the W15 in Monastir - her first double tournament outside the UK. And she also reached the quarter final in singles (her fourth tournament abroad, all in Monastir), and then the semifinal in week 12 also in Monastir

5. Olivia Nicholls for winning the W125 in Charleston

6. Andy Murray - for reaching the third round in Miami, and for winning the most matches of the British men over the IW and Miami sunshine swing, beating Goffin, Berrettini and Etchevery, and losing a Herculean match with Machac. Still the biggest heart out there. And doing it with destroyed ankle ligaments at the end of his match.

7. Bella Rebel - just been selected as one of 24 best 12U girls worldwide to compete at the IMG Future Stars event next month. Special mention from @marta_kostyuk. And made the QFs at the Super Auray U12 tournament, losing to the eventual winner, and being the best GB player, despite not being part of the GB team.

8. Katie Boulter - for reaching the last 16 in the Masters 1000 Miami, from a seeding of 24 and enhances her standing as our number one ranked female player.

9. Francesca Jones - has reached the SF in the Mexican WTA 125, beating WRs 137, 110 and 183. 

As well as Fran and Lily, Giles is also left in singles; Fran also in doubles, as is Maia in her final (and Naiktha yet to start her doubles event?!) and in mens doubles we have Harry W, Ewen L and Dan L/George H. Anyone else? 

Not sure whos left in juniors action; Lucy Shuker in wheelchair doubles semis out in Korea.
