prize fund.
 Top
seed in the men's event is Australian Matthew Hopkin,
with England's Ashley Davies, Rui Soares of
Portugal and Egypt's British Junior Open champion Youssef
Soliman - who faces wildcard Matt Sidaway in the

In the women's event England's Millie Tomlinson, in good
form after her spell at College in the USA, is favourite, but
another Egyptian BJO champion Hania El Hammamy, South
Africa's Alexandra Fuller and British U21 and U23
