The IMG future stars is the high-profile invitational event for "the top 48 under-12 players from all over the world. These young talents competed fiercely, not only for the tournament title but also for the coveted prize: two tickets to the Eddie Herr International Junior Championship (under 14) at the renowned IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida."
Rose pointed out that this year we have very good representation:
Boys invited - Cameron Rae, max hodgkinson, Tomas Gabor Girls - Sahara Baptiste, Emma Fu, Honey Robinson, Coco Witton
It's for kids born in 2013, and a few (like Sahara) born in 2014
Unfortunately, the girls haven't been doing too well in the round robin stage (this is an understatement!)
Sahara has lost two pretty tight matches
Emma Fu had a 5-7 in the third loss in her first match and lost her second one.
Coco lost her first match too.
Honey Robinson has lost her two matches too
In the boys though, Max, Tomas and Cameron have all got a win
According to Functional Tennis' Instagram (who have been posting clips all week), it appears Tomas has won his match, finishing with an angled backhand winner after a short approach! Tomas is now through to SFs.

Max is also through to the SFs. Great to see 2/4 Brits making the line up! Tomas plays a Czech player who won the Super Auray in February where Tomas made the SFs and Max finished runner up.
