Preview
The 2026 18U Lexus Junior National Championships is set to feature a strong line-up of young British talent.
In the girls' draw, Hollie Smart comes in as the top-ranked player and as the 2024 16U singles and doubles champion. Smart recently made the final of the J200 Las Vegas ITF event and has the experience of playing and winning on the national stage.
She will be up against Megan Knight, who last year repeated Smart's achievement in lifting both 16U national titles.
Daniella Britton will be a strong contender, having recently won the Scottish Indoor Open Championships women's singles as well.
Keep an eye out for Ophelia Korpanec Davies, Edie Griffiths, Tegan Bush, and more in Roehampton.
Junior world No.29 Mark Ceban is the top seed in the boys' draw. Ceban won the 16U title in 2024 and is one of two British players to ever win the prestigious Les Petits As title. Ceban also made the semi-finals of the Australian Open boys' doubles earlier this year.
Rhys Lawlor - who is supported by the Loughborough University Tennis Academy alongside Smart, Britton, and several of the stars competing at the nationals - won the 18U doubles event two years ago and will come in as the second seed.
Former 14U Tennis Europe No.1 Eric Lorimer is also set to star, alongside William Moxon, Joshua Craze and Scott Watson.
