With seven days to go until Wimbledon, Scotland's Andrew Murray is taking the low road to SW19. The United States Open junior champion withdrew from a tournament in Nottingham yesterday to nurse an ankle injury. "It was a close call," Murray said, "but as there is a slight inflammation still in the ankle, I have been advised to limit my time on court for the next two days. "Actually," she adds, "I'd like to be No 1."The Bollettieri system aims to have its most promising youngsters making their junior Grand Slam debuts at the French Open in the spring after they turn 15 Roland Garros, 2008, watch out for Tara Moore.. Weekends are spent at tournaments, or in recreational matchplay "And swimming," Moore adds. "I love swimming."There are also regular "mind conditioning" sessions with sports psychologists. "Every two weeks, it's about how to handle pressure," she said "It's not just tennis and fitness, they work on your brains too."Bollettieri's regular motivational speeches are also important. "When he's positive about you, you're on top of the world."Which is precisely where Moore aims to be.

"I'd like to be at least top 20 in the world," she says, when asked how far she can go. But it's a better place to train than Hong Kong - less humid, more courts, great facilities, and I put all my trust in the coaches."Yes, they scream at you sometimes, but it only makes you play better. You get loads of feedback, good and bad, but then bad can be good if you take it on board. And you feel special that you have the opportunity to be here."A typical day starts with breakfast at 5.30am, followed by 45 minutes in the International Performance Institute gym and 90 minutes of tennis, before the first break of the day, which lasts 10 minutes.More tennis follows until 10am, then school, on site, followed by lunch and a mixture of tennis and IPI sessions until 5.30pm. Tara lived in Hong Kong until she was three, then England until six, before returning to Hong Kong, where she started playing tennis aged seven."I was a chubby youngster and my uncle thought it would be a good way to lose weight," she said. "My mum took me to a coach for an hour a week, but I loved it so much that I played more and more." She was competing in tournaments before she was nine, and at 10, another Hong Hong coach recommended that she visit Bollettieri's, where she was offered a scholarship on the spot. I thought, 'I'll try that, then'."I was a bit scared at first - it was a new place, new people.

"Mum said no because she thought I was too young," Tara said. "But I came back six months later and have been here since."The academy's "tough love" reputation and intense work ethic were only briefly daunting "I'd heard it described as the world's toughest playground. I'd place her among the best handful of players of her age in the world."Moore's mother, Monet, comes from Hong Kong, although her father is English, hence the Yorkshire grandad. "With anyone so young, all the usual caveats apply about the need to be careful with her physical, mental and emotional development," he added "But from what we've seen so far, she's the real deal. "The way they hit the ball, that would have been an 18-under match 25 years ago," Nick Bollettieri said.Moore is already the British No 1 in her age group, and regularly competes in tournaments against girls five or six years her senior."Tara is the most exciting British prospect that I've seen in a generation," said Gabe Jaramillo, the NBTA's director of tennis."She's a hell of a player," added Bollettieri, who personally handed Moore a full scholarship at the age of 10. "Doncaster," says the 12-year-old prodigy in response to a question about her favourite place "It's where I stay with my grandad when I come over. I love Yorkshire."Which is good news for British tennis, because Moore, a scholar at the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida, is shaping up to become a star of the future.In November last year she won her age-group singles title at the Eddie Herr International, a prestigious junior tournament where she powered past the hot Belgium prospect, Tamaryn Hendler, in the final.
