TE overran, so running way behind.
Sarah Copley retired injured - left thigh..
Anna Wright is in a mammoth match with the Saudi star, into a third set. (Anna has a wildcard for next week as well).
The Latvian no.2 seed won as did Sophia C, who has played well this week.
Chloe Cleaver won easily
13 year-old Tanishka lost to a 17 year-old, Chloe Cleaver, but age is obviously so important in these sort of events and in assessing promise

I forgot to mention I did see some TE matches. Top seed Kamran Arif had a real tough match against a boy from Hong Kong, based at Bromley. Joseph Knightley, who is a very confident young lad, lost in 3 sets to Sophie Bekker's brother. Holly Hubbard-Hall's match was the best of the girls match by a mile. She is very tall... Oscar Laskowski hits the ball very hard.
There was quite a bit of talk by the boys about a trip to Maribor. Chris Wilkinson was there scouting.

I like the way Holly plays. She won a TE doubles title with Riley McElnea (Harrisons younger sister) Both of them looked very good.
The trip to Slovenia is something the LTA do every year. They put players into the 14U and 16U event there. Think its end of April/beginning of May

Wins for Annabel, Sophia, Rosie and Chloe in the girls
Wins for Jonny, Sam, Billy and the Irish lad in the boys
Shout out for Brandon and Alex, who have made the doubles Semi finals. They were alts and only got in as a late withdrawal. There ranking was high enough, but as Brandon was a MDWC, he was pushed down the list and a wildcard pairing pushed them out.
Strange that MD direct get priority and MDWC are a long way down the list...
