There's a strong British contingent here, including George Morgan, who was unbeaten in the Lancashire side which won the Junior County Cup Group 1 at the weekend, and Richard Gabb, coming through qualifying yet again.

Tom Farquharson (GBR) v Yannis Baltogiannis (BEL) (Q) Joshua Gledden (GBR) v Marco Kirschner (GER) Christopher Helliar (GBR) v Alexey Vatutin (RUS) George Morgan (GBR)v (7) Peter Heller (GER) Lars Behlen (GER) v (Q) Richard Gabb (GBR) Daniel Cochrane (GBR) v (2) Piotr Gadomski (POL)
You'd think so, having played 17 singles matches in 15 days, and the 18th today was a struggle. He has opted out of doubles this week.

R2
Tom Farquharson (GBR) v (5) Romain Arneodo (FRA) (Q) Richard Gabb (GBR) v (4) Lukas Vrnak (CZE) Benjamin Devos (BEL) v Daniel Cochrane (GBR)
Dan couldn't follow up his big win, and Richard's heavy schedule probably caught up with him, so there's just Tom left (no doubles pairs beyond the quarters)

QF
(1) Marko KRICKOVIC (GER) v Tom Farquharson (GBR)
The top-seeded German was a runner-up here last year, and has progressed so far with ease.
The host website has actually reversed the scoreline for Tom's second round match, with Arneodo going on to lose to the top seed in the quarters, so that's the end of British singles interest in ITF juniors tournaments this week.
