Some of these events are so weak. LTA really need to get the kids to play these or get their funding cut. Simple as.

This is probably a really stupid question but how do they sort out the seedings? Like, surely Kylie would be the top seed for the 12Us given that she finished runner-up at the Open Super 12 Auray.:scratch: Also if Holly were here she'd most likely tear up this field.

The 14Us draw seemed unfairly strong in the top half, surely the winner of a Heath-Adeshina will nab the title.

Fancying the winner of Davies-Appleton to take the 16Us.

Lauryn J-B losing to Megan Forster but beating Jasmine A A :lol: anyway, hopefully she takes the title with a win over Holly H.

Executive summary: seeding is based on LTA ranking.

Link to regulations on this page: http://www3.lta.org.uk/Competitions/Event/?ctn=1-1Y571E6&evt=1-1Y571GG

6. Acceptance criteria for the singles events will be based on the player’s age group British Tennis ranking
as at the entry deadline.
SEEDING CRITERIA
14. The singles seeding order will follow the acceptance criteria of Grade 1 events detailed in point 6, using
the latest available British Tennis ranking on the date the draw is made (Wed 12 Aug).
15. Doubles seeding will be done according to a team’s combined ranking position which is determined by
the British Tennis rankings used when make the singles draw.
Appears consistent with the first few seeds in the 12s.

I think it's the same regs for the other age groups (link to the same document from here: http://www3.lta.org.uk/Competitions/Competition/?ctn=1-1Z6MLCT?), but I haven't double-checked.

Thanks for the info Embittered. :)

Interesting that the top 4 seeds all made the SFs in the 12Us.

A shame to see that Esther had to retire but it looks as though it was a very competitive 1st set.

Shocked Alex Hunter didn't beat Megan Forster but I haven't heard much about her, maybe she's really good and has just been keeping quiet. Feel as though it's Emily A's to lose now.

Glad Lauryn progressed, but again really surprised Holly H lost to Abbott whose ITF is pretty subpar tbh. Anyway well done to her for making it. ;) Lauryn please win it. :bounce:
