BOLTON tennis youngster George Morgan has recently increased his chances of a trip to Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest, to play in the finals of the Sunday Telegraph/Center Parcs Junior Tennis Grand Prix, after his victory in the final of the Scottish Open at Craiglockhart Tennis and Sports Centre in Edinburgh.
The tournament, between some of Britain's finest U12s tennis stars, saw Morgan ease into the final against Dundee's Blair Ingram which he easily won 6-1, 6-4.
The Grand Prix consists of 57 tournaments across the country, scheduled between April and August, with players picking up performance related points at all the events they participate in. Morgan's latest victory will give him 100 points towards his Grand Prix score for the year.
The Junior Grand Prix Series has five age groups up to U18. Players compete in LTA tournaments throughout the school holidays to accumulate "leader board" points in their age group depending on the finishing position in each individual tournament.
Players finishing in the top five of each category, plus one LTA wildcard, then qualify for the televised Masters finals:
U10 and U12 Masters, weekend 17-20th September 2004 at Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest
U14, U16and U18 players fly to La Manga Club in November for their Master's.
