Great Britain's future prospects in international tennis appear promising after home-grown players dominated the Junior International Tennis Tournament in Liverpool this month.
Over 700 young players from 45 different countries congregated at Liverpool Tennis Centre on November 8 for two weeks, competing in J4 (under 14) and J5 (under 18) tournaments, with valuable international ranking points up for grabs.
Ilias Harani Worthington took the J5 boys single title, beating fellow Brit Aaron Dawson 6-2, 6-2 in the final. Buckinghamshire's rising star Amelie Brooks was edged out 6-1, 4-6, 3-6 by American Kate Mansfield in the girls' final - the only overseas player to prevail in the J5 category.
