Bravo, girls !!!!

Brilliant event - Team GB take the gold medal

With individual golds for Hannah, Mika and Hollie

Really fantastic result by our girls!

Is this our first ever win in this competition?

Presumably the first 6 from this competition qualify for the Junior Billie Jean Cup?

Mervatron2 · Futures level

First under 16 Summer Cup - the under 14 girls (Maia Lumsden, Gabi Taylor and Jazzi Plews) won in 2012 and the under 18 girls won in 1975 /1976. The under 16 boys (Kyle Edmund, Luke Bambridge and Evan Hoyt) won in 2011 and the under 14 boys in 1995, but it is a slim list.

There are 6 places for European teams in Turkey, but Turkey get one of those as host nation. Therefore it is just the top 5 that qualify (4 semi-finalists plus Italy)

Thanks David. That's really not many European teams while understanding the need for regional representation at the Finals.

@JonH, finals in Antalya on 11-17 November.

Well done girls. Really impressive.

Surprised not to see Emerson Jones - unless she is too old?

Emerson is still eligible but may well have decided that having reached junior no. 1 and 2 grand slam finals that she wants to concentrate on transition to the pros going forward.
