Yes, definitely
Although not a junior any longer
They grow up
Talia is still 18, born in Sept 2005 so doesn't that mean she is still a junior till the end of this year?

No. Junior eligibility is until the end of the year in which they turn 18.

This year, only players born in 2006 (and younger) are juniors

Talia is born in 2005 so, as of Jan 1st this year, she was no longer a junior

You have to be 17 and turn 18 in that year to be a junior

If you're 18 and turn 19, you're too old (sad but true)

Shame after the previous win but still moving up the rankings slowly.

I assume shell play the 2 35 events in Nottingham end of the month?

Thanks, my mistake! I now realise the ITF post I was looking at was giving junior eligibility rules for 2023 rather than 2024.

Hopefully Jasmine Conway might also find her way back to playing. They were both doing well a year ago smile
