BOYS

We featured a thing about Ferran Redza recently, and his crowd-funding page, and ambitions

So, well done to him on beating the second seed here, Sesko

And also young Scott Watson, age 14, who has just beaten the 8th seed from Germany

Qualifier Alfie King has also put out (5) Rhys Lawlor

 Alfie hardly played on the tour last year- not sure if it was injury of exams, but has a false ranking now.

I heard the LTA guy (won't say who) give a bit of a bollocking to Rhys last summer - more about expectations, really, and belief, nothing 'bad' as such, but I didn't feel the guys really had his back

I see Judy Murray is bemoaning the lack of Scots playing here, but I suspect that it is not just this tournament.
I'm seeing very few Scots playing in junior tournaments in general.

I thought it may be due to the fall out of Stirling, but Judy thinks differently as there was only one Scottish player at the academy

Alfie may have a false ranking (or not) but I don't think he enjoyed today at all, poor lad - he lost 6-0 6-0
As did top seed, mark ceban (lose, that is, not the same score) 

Will Moxon has won two J30 titles and made the final of a J60 in the last few weeks - has been zooming up the rankings - and is still going strong here in the J100
Will is also the youngest, still 16, whilst the others are all 17 or already 18 (in the case of Zech)

The SFs are:

(7) Matt Upton v William Moxon
(6) Dylan Davies v (3) Zech Hamrouni

Tegan and Mia might not be seeded but they are 2 of the 3 highest GB juniors by UTR here (8th Tegan, 11th Megan, 12th Mia in GB located junior UTR).

Both Mia and Tegan will get a nice rankings boost from this final

Neither of them has played any junior ITF tennis so far this year, just adults

Glad to see Moxon carrying on - as above, he's been on a real roll

There's a nice Facebook post from Edgbaston Priory Club, highlighting his achievements over the recent weeks, and good photo

Dyland has some link with Defy sports, so well done to Defy


For the doubles, the finals are:

Sophia C & Georgiana M v Chloe Cleaver & Tegan

Dylan & Alfie King v Mark Ceban+

Tegan is also based at Edgbaston and I have to say they are starting to produce a good crop of juniors under the coaching of George Coupland and the team

 Well done to George - lovely to see the players we used to follow being successful in their new roles (especially when they're tennis related) 

Are you absolutely sure he's still there though? He doesn't seem to come up on the site at all (but it could well be me missing it) 

Mike Peel seems to be 'Head of Performance', which must be the top dog job, I assume, based on this tweet about Billy and Tegan a couple of days ago

George was looking after Leah and Tanishka Naveen at Liverpool and has previously supported Tegan and Heidi and others.

Are you sure that was George? George left Duke Meadows to move to Atlanta a couple of years ago where he coaches and plays. He was playing an event in Atlanta in mid February.

 Yes, that's what I'd seen online too - thanks, thought I was going mad

 Dylan is an interesting one. Very talented player with a natural feel for the game but until last year attitude and behaviour was very bad. He was asked to leave more than one training centre due to his behaviour on court.Don't know what has happened to change him but its great to see him getting the results he is capable of. He spent a lot of time at Nottingham, with the same coach as Mia so its good to see Nottingham producing players too. The KDs also use there as a base and they have some very good younger ones coming along too
