In the younger categories, just to mention that our U12 teams, both boys and girls, seem to have won the TennisEurope nations event, the Lampo Trophy, beating France in both.

I thought Derrick and Joel were supposed to be big prospects? I know they are young and still have time but haven't seen eye catching results so far.
Maybe I'm being a bit pessimistic.
I don't think you're wrong.
Derrick and Joel are both 2003-ers, and much touted.
However, Jack Pinnington Jones (also 2003) is - I believe - reckoned to be the star of that 2003 group.
Saw him play this summer and he got thrashed but it was against a far older lad - he's certainly got some nice tennis (although it was difficult to really assess because it was very mis-matched).
But, yes, no real eye-catching results, so far, as you say......
Cool. Just wanted to check my knowledge as so many players names get passed around that sometimes i forget who's the stand-out ones as of now. There's always a few curve balls along the way.
