Promising young Oxfordshire player Lucy Brown stands just outside the top 200 juniors in the world after winning her last two overseas tournaments.

The 15-year-old from Elsfield, neat Oxford, stands at No 204 in the international Tennis Federation’s junior rankings after finishing her summer tournament schedule with her second ITF title.

Following her win in Libya last month, Brown took her rich vein of form to Cyprus where she won the Aphrodite Cup without dropping a set.

She beat Sofia Chekunova, from the Ukraine, 6-3, 7-6 in the semi-final before overcoming Hungarian Kristina Kapitany 6-1, 6-2 in the final.

Next week, Brown takes a big step in her tennis career moving to Marbella, Spain, to base herself training at the Puento Romano Club with Win Tennis.
