Four of Hampshire's top 14&U players are comepting at the HSBC Road to Wimbledon finals this week.

All four Hampshire players qualified for their place at the competition by winning on the grass courts at Southsea Tennis Club earlier in the summer.

The annual competition is a showcase of up-and-coming junior players from accross the country, and is the only event, other than Junior Wimbledon, where juniors get to play on the most famous grass courts in the world.

Representing Hampshire this year are James Salter (David Lloyd Southampton), Ryan Bates (Portsmouth Tennis Academy), Emily Kerr (Winchester Tennis & Squash Club) and Miriam Chapman-Rosenfield (West Hants Club).

The players initially compete in round robin boxes and then progress to an elimination final event. Players also get to team up for doubles and receive a tour of the Wimbledon Museum.
