Judy Murray is turning her attentions to her main job as the figurehead of British women’s tennis and she believes there is a crop of young Scottish players ready to step onto the world stage.

 

Maia Lumsden, a 14-year-old from Glasgow, beat fellow Briton Gaby Taylor, from Hampshire, in the final of the Orange Bowl event, considered one of the most prestigious in the world junior game.

 

Judy added: “Anna Brogan is the best girl in Britain in the 1997 age group. Maia is the best born in 1998. For 1999 there’s Anastasia Mikheeva who’s the number two in Britain. And born in 2000, there’s Ali Collins from Dunblane who’s the British number one under 12.

 

“There’s a bright future ahead for British girls’ tennis if we can get the next stage of the players’ development right.”
