Wow thats great. I really dont know much about Juniors atm, other than Liam Broady, Laura Robson, Heather Watson, the Rens and Eden Silva who was on the Trophy Kids documentary on Ch4.
Who are the other potential stars to look out for? Does Adam have genuine potential?

Adam is a 1991 birth, and is only ranked 500, so he is not going to achieve much in Juniors, as it is his last year. The 1992 Boys are progressing well as a group, but without a star emerging as yet. The 1995 Boys are strong, with 3 (Evan Hoyt, Luke Bambridge and Chris Pearce) ranked in the Tennis Europe Under 14 top 10, but have yet to start playing ITFs (Under 18).
