Tennis Wales’ Head of Performance Chris Lewis said: “This is a strong squad with a mixture of GB Champions and finalists, GB representatives, and Welsh Champions.

“The Junior Home Nations always provides a great experience for the players as it is a unique event where players of three different age-groups combine to try to win the overall title. It’s a chance for them to test themselves against the best in the UK at and I’m confident that they will rise to the challenge.

“We have no doubt that Wales will be getting behind the team this year as they bid to win the title for the third time in four years.”
