Boys & Girls: J300 Roehampton, grass (Week 26)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Most of the Brits in qualifying are highly outranked, so unsurprisingly only Liam Channon and Leah Bush have made it through so far to final qualifying (some girls' matches still to finish in the qualifying venue in Surbiton)

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Leah got a tad lucky as she had been drawn against the top q seed (Maggie Sohns)

But Maggie must have got promoted to the main draw and so Leah had a GB alt

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Liam Channon won his FQR, 1-6 6-4 10-7

He's been playing well recently - surprised people, I'm told, in the nationals, with how well he'd progressed

Just for recollection, and comparison, as the grass season is 'our' season, and so short

In 2025, at the J300 Roehampton, this is where our players got to:

Girls:

R3 x 1 (Meg Knight)
R2 x 2 (Dani Piani, Edie Griffiths, Brooke Black)

(All the rest lost in R1)

Boys:

Winner - Oliver Bonding

(All the rest lost in R1)

Scores are at the link above, so I will edit that into the top post. Liv lost quite quickly to the top seed. Edie and Vincent anre a set up, Annabel and Billy a set down

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Edie and Vincent both win in two

I expected Edie to win, but Vincent was playing the 11th seed which is a bit more of an ask

Well done to both

Annabel went on to lose in straights, but Edie and Vincent are the first British winners, Vincent scalping a seed, albeit the Peruvian was playing his first ITF on grass.

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Tegan got an easy two-set win too - over the Spanish 10th seed

But Billy lost

Coup Droit · Tennis legend

Edie and Tegan are joined by Hollie, after a big fight

Mark joins Vincent on the boys side

Dani B and Sophie Bekker are both a set up and going well

Dani B and Sophie B both won in straight sets.
