Preview
This year will see a stellar cast of young British tennis talent competing at the National Tennis Centre, with 19 of the top 20 girls and 18 of the boys set to challenge for the title.
Reigning champion Hollie Smart will return to defend her title in the 16U girls’ event, in what is set to be a highly competitive draw.
15-year-old Smart – who is supported by the Loughborough University National Academy – also won the 14U Lexus Junior National Championships back in 2023.
She’ll be joined by last year’s 14U champion Megan Knight and runner-up Daniella Britton in this year’s draw amongst many other strong players.
In 2024, Knight also won the prestigious 14U Tennis Europe Junior Masters singles title in Monte-Carlo and was part of the GB 12U Summer Cup team that finished second back in 2023.
The boys’ singles draw will feature another Junior Masters and 14U National champion in Scott Watson.
Last year, Watson was one of three British players ranked inside the top four for Tennis Europe 14U boys’ singles – including Eric Lorimer and Niall Pickerd-Barua, who are also set to compete in the 16U Lexus Junior National Championships.
They will be joined by reigning 16U and 18U national doubles champion Rhys Lawlor who will be hoping to capitalise on his experiences last year at the National Tennis Centre.
