ABERDEEN player Joanna Henderson is preparing to team up with Wimbledon junior champion Laura Robson for Britain in the semi-finals of the world junior tennis finals in the Czech Republic tomorrow.
Along with Jessica Ren (Yorkshire), Henderson and Robson (Middlesex) are representing Britain in a group which includes Russia, Australia, Tunisia and Bolivia.
Sixteen teams are taking part in the event at Prostejov.
The British girls have never won the world junior event.
Matches started on Monday and having been seeded fourth, the GB girls have eased through their round-robin groups without losing a match.
They played their final group match against Bolivia and have won both singles matches. Joanna and Laura also played in the “dead” doubles rubber yesterday.
Today they will face a very strong Russian team in the semi-finals.
The British girls lost to the Russians in February in the final of the European Winter Cup competition in the deciding doubles match, so they hope to go one better today.
