1 Hannah Klugman for winning the J300 in Croatia on Clay!
2. North-West England Juniors - there have been three 'new' players at the 16U nationals who have really caught my eye and impressed - Aran Selvaraasan, April Sackflame and Annabel Wong - Aran in the final, April only 2012-born and Annabel who really tested Meg. AND - from what I can see - Aran is in Manchester, April is Bolton, and Annabel is Bramhall Lane, Stockport. So a tight little group. Huge well done to junior tennis up in the Manchester - great dynamic up there !!!!
3. Aran Selvaraasan - aged 14, coming through qualies, he won the 16U Nationals title. Fantastic, breakthrough performance
4. Megan Knight - aged 14, showed her talent by taking the 16U national title, now has the chance to build on it in the 18U event; also, won the doubles title, convincingly, for a well deserved double title week
5. Hermione Korpanec Davies - age 13 - won the singles title in J30 Ghana, beating the second seed. Only born on 25 Oct. 2011 - so only 13 1/2 - one of the youngest ever winners, in GB, and in the world
6. Julian Cash/Lloyd Glasspool - for reaching the Monte Carlo Masters final, beating world number ones Arevalo and Pavic in the semis, their second M1000 final as a pair, and second straight Masters final.
7. Team GB for making the finals in the BJK Cup
8. Sonay Kartal for winning both her singles in her first matches played in the BJK Cup
9. Sofia Tatu (age 13) - our new champion dirt-baller ! For winning the U14 Super Category, Portugal - her age group equivalent of W1000s. And in a really gutsy match too.
10. Hollie Smart (age 15) - for winning the under 16 and 18 LTA National Doubles titles in back to back weeks
