With one of the girls’ sides withdrawing on the eve of the tournament at Albury Grasscourts, Sophie Edgar, Charlie Hargreaves, Mercy Eze and Mahnee Przibilla formed a side.

“It’s a marvellous opportunity to play at this level,” Hargreaves said.
“Some of the girls playing here competed in the French Open juniors.
“Regardless of the scores, our girls are learning an incredible amount and competing well against some fantastic players.
“It’s a great experience to be exposed to this sort of tennis in your own backyard.”
