The main draw is now up at http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/tournaments/tournament/info.aspx?tournamentid=1100041258 with the usual large home British contingent, including Rahul Dhokia and Felix Gill as second and third seeds
Leading 2003 boys Jack Pinnington-Jones and Joel Pierleoni make it through to round 3. Unusually there was a default to the benefit of second seed Rahul Dhokia, after splitting sets.
Wonder what happened with the default. The Jamaican gave a walk over in the doubles as well
The ITF Supervisors have the power to default players from all events, depending on the severity of the offence - looks like this one wasn't just unfortunate
Alexander Maggs d. Sam Bossem 6-7(8) 6-2 6-1
(3) Felix Gill d. Joel Pierleoni 6-2 6-4
(5/WC) Barney FitzPatrick d. Joe Leather 6-3 1-6 7-6(3)
Hugo Jardin (FRA) d. (2) Rahul Dhokia 3-6 7-6(6) 6-4
SF
Alexander Maggs v (3) Felix Gill
(5/WC) Barney FitzPatrick v Hugo Jardin (FRA)
This French guy looks useful taking out some our better guys in straight sets
Unfortunately, not really.
He made the last 16 in the nationals last summer. And is about the same level in all the other tournaments for his age. And ranking. So he's about 10th-12th in the country for his age group.
