Two junior members of Leicester Forest East Tennis Club have earned a chance of Wimbledon glory.

Harriet Comley and Frazer Richards, both 14, enjoyed success in their respective finals in the Leicestershire leg of the HSBC Road to Wimbledon.

In the County finals at Knighton Tennis Centre, Comley overcame second seed Yasmina El Sayed in a close encounter 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (3), while Richards took the boys event by defeating Conal King 6-4, 6-2.

The event at tennis' HQ takes place from August 17 to 22, and any success for either Leicestershire youngster would cap a great first season for LFE head coach Sam Preston, who has already seen his club's juniors top their respective under-16 leagues this year.

"It has been an excellent season so far, and I am very confident that both Harriet and Frazer will not let themselves down on the big stage at SW19," he said.
