Arthur won a tight match 6-4 3-6 10-8 (MTB), well done to him.
Would be good to see him go after some ranking points after a great domestic run, but imagine his ranking is too low to avoid qualies and perhaps he will wait til.there are more events out there.
He would have comfortably been mid-qualifying in both of the M15's this coming week, but the main draw cut-off is under WR600, so he's just going to have to grit his teeth and go for it !
There's a difference between Junior Exempt and Junior Reserved.
Junior Exempt only applies to the top 20 juniors at the year end, and Arthur was JR36. And I think he could only use it five times anyway. Only one JE per tournament.
Three Junior Reserved places in M15 events, open to the top 100 Juniors, so he can enter that way, right up to the day before his 19th Birthday.
