 In the mens, Gordon, Ben and Alfie all won their openers, particularly well done to Ben. 

In Quad, Andy and Greg both lost their openers. Gregs loss was disappointing but not a big surprise. 

In doubles, Alfie and Gordon are top seeds and Ben plays with Miki of Japan 

in quad doubles, Andy and Greg partner each other.

In the Barcelona last 8:

Gordon faces WR1, Tokito Oda.

Alfie and Ben play each other.

In mens doubles, Alfie and Gordon are into the semis

And Andy and Gordon are in the quad doubles semis

In the Junior World Team Cup:

GB girls are drawing 1-1 with a Team representing Europe (a Spaniard and a Swede) - rain interrupted the match with the doubles to play

GB boys beat Argentina 2-0

 Turns out the girls lost to Europe 2-0, sadly. 

Both teams are in action again today. 

In Belgium, GB boys beat Japan and move to a 2-0 record, the GB girls beat Brazil 2-0 and move to 1 all.

The boys play in two groups of 4 and I assume the top 2 progress to the semis, so GB look good for that. The girls is a single group of 6 and are sitting fourth after day one, will presumably move up today. It doesnt appear clear if the groups lead to a final but, if the event ends on Sunday, it looks like that schedule would only allow for an all play all round robin with the group winners taking the title. All will become clear or maybe someone else knows?!

Alfie received a semi walkover in singles also, Fernandez was unable to play. Alfies singles final will be against Oda or De La Puente.

In the Junior World Teams, the boys won and end with. 3-0 record and a semi tomorrow versus USA

The girls lost and are now 1 win in 3 matches and sit 4th in their group of 6
