I still do not understand how you can be a UK citizen with a UK passport and be told that you MUST play for Ireland, even if you don't want to, and even if you don't even have or want an Irish passport
But, so be it, it's part of the set-up and Belfast counts as Eire for tennis, so I'll just leave the title as Belfast - everyone knows where it is
There are a good number of GB players here, as to be expected
In the girls, Elizabeth Evans is top seed, Annabel Hristova is 3rd and Tia J-Kljako is 4th
Wales' young hope Awen G-Davies is also playing
Conor Flynn is the top GB boy, seeded 4
Also, just to note, in the qualis are two girls named:
Praises of God John, and
Joy of the Lord John
There's also a lad in qualis called John Breakthrough - a nice name for tennis, I wish him luck

I've no idea if it's typos or whatever, but what does anyone understand Blease to mean whe he says:
"We have some very good players at under-14 level who would be top 30 in the world and three more in the top 200 but currently in certain parts, we're struggling in grips in the underage for example."
