Unusually the European Junior Championships have been split over 2 weeks this year, starting with the under 16s. Our 4 representatives have experienced mixed fortunes so far, with success for the boys, but not the girls in singles. Seedings can be misleading, being based mainly on Tennis Europe under 16 rankings, but there is no doubt of the strength of the top seed Holger Vitus Nodskov Rune, who has stormed into the ITF top 100 already. Jack's round 3 opponent is ranked inside 200 ITF
