A couple of weekends ago I played in the Wimbledon U19 tournament, this was me and my new doubles partner Chloe Birch’s first tournament together and so we were excited to get going! In the mixed me and Ryan McCarthy were seeded to get to the semi finals and thats where we did get to before losing to eventual winners Holly Smith and Tom Wolfenden 21-14 21-17.

We were a bit disappointed with the performance but were happy with parts of our play over the weekend. In the doubles we were again seeded to get to the semi final, we managed it with relative ease and beat a danish pair on the way. In the semi we lost to Sophie Brown and Holly Smith who won the tournament, we played really well and pushed them all the way before losing 25-23 21-17. There was some massive positives to take from the game and so we were pretty happy and excited for the next tournament in Switzerland!

Unfortunately I wasn’t selected for the world juniors championship in Taiwan at the end of October, I was initially very gutted but now am just focussed on proving that I deserved to go and hope to get some good results from now to ensure that I am picked for the next tournament. Onwards and Upwards!
