Not sure how they work out the seedings, but it appears that Tegan is the only one with a senior ranking - but her junior ranking is way down at 1025.

Meg ended up with a LOT of tape on her right shoulder - and was complaining, near tears for some of that match (though more so when she lost the point than when she won it ...... )
And then did come out and play her doubles, so it can't have been that bad really (not that you'd have known it from the gesturing to her camp)

However, if it's her shoulder that's been bothering her all this year, then it's not great news.....

Tegan beating Hollie is definitely an upset - Hollie is one of the Loughborough girls, an LTA special pick, and top seed at this event.

But Hollie is better on clay, and Tegan ran rings round her on hard today - making it look very easy down her end, whereas Hollie looked to be working hard. Tegan just times the ball so well, she doesn't need to have a lot of wrist (and hence risk shanking it), or need mega muscles to power it. Her serve is pretty weak / average though - but Hollie did nothing with it - which was a glaring error.

The final of the boys will be beween Mark Ceban and Josh Craze

Josh is a 'surprise' name to make the final, for me

But well done to him and Mark was obviously the top seed


Tegan utterly pulverised poor Edie - winning 6-0 6-0

Meg and Dani are into a third set

Danielle Britton took the third set.

I've seen Tegan a lot and she was such a defensive player, who frustrated the opposition into mistakes, but is starting to add an attacking level. Her sister is so similar in style.

 Well done Danielle after winning the 16 and under title last week!

Well done to Liam Channon and William Moxon for winning the boys doubles title with a 4 and 4 win over Archie Gray and Oliver Page.

With Southampton reaching the semis of the FA Cup over Arsenal at the weekend, Mick will be a pleased and proud man

Hollie and Meg won the doubles, in a MTB

So they'll be in Wimbledon MD doubles, which will be a thrill

The four finalists are guaranteed places in the Wimbledon Junior main draws if fit (only relevant to Joshua and Tegan, since Daniella won a place last week, and Mark should be in by ranking or wildcard as the top ranked British junior). At stake tomorrow, apart from the glory of winning the titles, are places in main draw qualifying

Boys SF

(1) Mark Ceban d. (3) William Moxon 6-2 6-1
(4) Joshua Craze d. (WC) Liam Channon 6-1 6-3

F

(1) Mark Ceban v (4) Joshua Craze

Girls SF

(5) Tegan Bush d. (6) Edie Griffiths 6-0 6-0
(2) Daniella Britton d. (4) Megan Knight 6-1 6-7(5) 6-4

F

(5) Tegan Bush v (2) Daniella Britton

 Just to clarify I assume you mean the Wimbledon Juniors main draw doubles, which is the prize specified

 They use the LTA combined rankings, which you can find here  with explanation of the rules / points tables etc. here

 Thanks DavidC - I'd forgotten about those - been a couple of years since I looked properly !

 You're right - I did, i.e. I should have - and then I got a little over-excited and I don't think I did biggrin
