However, there’s more than just trophies up for grabs this week, with both the girls’ and boys’ champion receiving wild cards into the qualifying rounds at Wimbledon and a main draw spot in the The Junior Championships, Wimbledon.
The tournament has a girls’ and boys’ singles and doubles draw – all played as a straight knock-out.

Preview
The 2024 18U Lexus Junior National Championships is set to feature a blockbuster line-up of young British talent – including all of the top 20 boys and 19 of the top 20 girls in the country.
Headlining the girls draw is reigning US Open Junior Girls champion Mika Stojsavljevic who has had a year to remember since the last time out at the Junior Nationals. The 16-year-old made headlines last September as she became the first Brit in 15 years to win the junior title at Flushing Meadows - dropping just one set on her way to the crown. Since then, she went on to make her WTA tour-debut at the Japan Open where she narrowly lost out in the first round to Mokuya Uchijimi in an epic three-set battle, and has risen to world No.8 in the junior rankings.
She’ll be joined by 2023 16U national champion Hannah Klugman. Supported by our Pro Scholarship Programme presented by Lexus, Klugman reached the doubles finals at the junior Australian Open earlier this year and, back in 2023, lifted the coveted Orange Bowl title - one of the most prestigious titles in junior tennis.
Looking to contest Stojsavljevic and Klugman is world No.52 Allegra Korpanec Davies, Hephzibah Oluwadare and Brooke Black in the stacked girls’ singles draw.
Moving onto the U18 boys singles draw and reigning champion Oliver Bonding will arrive gunning to defend his title. Currently sitting at a world ranking of No.26, with a career high of world No.8, Bonding has already wracked up an impressive haul of six singles and four doubles titles on the junior circuit. Last year, the 17-year-old became the first British boy to win the J500 Blumenau title - also known as the Banana Bowl - since 2010, and will be one to watch at the upcoming championships in Roehampton.
Defending 16U national champion Mark Ceban will also come in as one of the favourites, having sealed the J100 Loughborough title in March this year where he beat top seed Conor Brady in the final.
2023 16U boys’ singles champion and current world No.66 Ben Gusic Wan also knows what it takes to win in Roehampton and will be looking to add the 18U crown to his collection.
