Megan Knight
(

)
(Preview)
Ok, I know this is another post giving threads to babies in their cradles but.... I've had a strong interest in Megan Knight since she won the U12 National Championships in 2022, despite being a year young (which makes a big difference at that age). (I think she also made the semis of the U12 a year before...

Oliver Bonding
(

)
(Preview)
Oliver appears not yet to have a dedicated thread. I think he deserves one in recognition of the fact that he made what I presume was his debut on the Challenger circuit on Saturday at the tender age of 16 (he turns 17 tomorrow) courtesy of a qWC for the Lexus Trophy 125 event in Ilkley, where he lost in thr...

Ben Gusic Wan
(Preview)
Born 2007, Ben has had a lot of followers in the junior threads, largely thanks to (a) his exuberance on court, (b) his excellent timing and vision of the game and (c) not being the tallest of lads But today, 7th April, he won the national championships - and that's time for his own thread British Nation...

Hannah Klugman
(
1 2 3 4 5 … 16
)
(Preview)
Hannah is the talk of young tennis, worldwide. She's only 12. Born 2009. She's a tall-ish girl, with a super serve, especially given her age, moves well, very lucid, turns defence into attack very effectively. Her match in Les Petits As (the top world event for U14s) against the other 2009-born sta...

Mika Stojsavljevic
(
1 2 3 4 5
)
(Preview)
Mika is a late 2008-born player. Plays lots of sports. Has only releatively recently decided to specialise in tennis. Tall-ish, athletic girl. A slightly 'deliberate' sort of style. But it's obviously developing. Coached by Lewandowski (and maybe others) - and hence an LTA favourite. She re...

Always a bit random with the youngsters as to whose individual player page will still be up in the mix in five years time, and whose will have sunk without trace, but... Mark Ceban is born 2009, tall and willowy, has just won the U14 Bolton event, and has come on leaps and bounds in the last 12 months, reall...

Everyone knows about Billy and his 'Billy-van'. And Bob's famous laundry service. But there was an interesting article about his recently in the French press (about Billy, that is, not Bob ) and the Isle of Man tennis club site put up a translation: Harris, the Atypical Englishman : Having left Engl...

(Preview)
Mimi Xu is (with Hep) the other extremely promising prospect we have amongst our young female players. She also is born 2007. Comes from Swansea. And has been a top LTA prospect for several years. I was very impressed when I saw her in the U18 nationals. The thing that stands out is her physique - she is...

As I recall, Emma's main journey towards top tennis started with a J5 she won at age 13 (nearly 14) So Dani Britton deserves a thread She's born at the end of November so it very young for the year, and only a couple of months older than some of the best 2011s She's a tall girl, and because of that, perhaps,...

I'm pretty exited by what I hear, talent and temperament  Living in the US (why do all our good players have to have a few years away from the UK???) I hear Judy's already looking to put her in the Fed cup te...

I wrote a piece about up and coming junior Harry Wendelken this week on the back of a successful year. I spoke to him, his coach and his parents to try to get a rounded view on what it's like to be coming through as a junior. After a good showing for him at Sweden this week I thought it might be quite timely to po...

Not only that, he won every round in two sets, with first serves today of 134 and 132 mph - this was the quickest serve recorde...

Talia has had some nasty injuries in recent years. Fractured...

He had an SE for the...
