Middlesex girl - 2008 born. To be honest, unless shes playing several levels higher than normal the results say more about the level of the J30 than anything else. Shes a solid county level player - rarely got past the quarters of LTA regional tournaments. Lovely girl but I would be surprised to see more results like this

Young Tomas Gabor (U12) is one of the Tennis First grantees

He is playing a Cat 1 U12 Tennis Europe event, the UH Cup, in Czechia, this week

And has made the final - good luck, Tomas !

(am wondering if there's a family connection? Rosie? Tomas without his 'h' makes it seem well possible?)

Young Tomas lost his final - but good week, Tom !

NB The preciously talented young Chinese player, Xinran Sun, born 2010, won both the singles and doubles here - I like her tennis
