I thought I would post an alert about the forthcoming major junior events, along with links to websites where you can find the latest acceptances for any event you are interested in. GBR did particularly well last year with George Morgan winning the U14 Junior Orange Bowl and Laura Robson winning the U14 Eddie Herr.
There is a strong entry in the Under 18s from the Girls, but all our top 100 Boys are 1990 births and are not taking part, leaving Alastair Barnes at 140 as our highest ranked player and currently only direct acceptance to main draws. In chronological order the events are:
a) The Grade 1 Yucatan World Cup in Mexico starting November 24
Heather Watson, Hannah James, Tara Moore and Natalie Beazant are accepted for the Girls Main Draw whilst Alastair Barnes competes in the Boys http://www.copayucatan.com.mx/
b)The Grade 1 Eddie Herr Cup in USA starting December 1 (Nov 29 for under 12s). Alastair Barnes is the only Brit currently accepted into the U18 Boys main draw, but in the Girls Heather, Hannah and Tara (down as US!) are joined by Laura Robson and Steph Cornish. http://www.eddieherr.com/
Of all tyrannies a tyranny exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive.... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience
