MILES KASIRI

Kasiri became the first British boy to reach the Wimbledon junior final in 32 years in 2004, when he was beaten 7-5 7-6 (8/6) by world number one Gael Monfils. While Monfils went on to reach the top 25 and the semi-finals of this year's French Open, Kasiri was plagued by injuries and suspended from the LTA training programme for lack of effort. Now 22, he ranks 610 in the world.

Beaten: And Miles Kasiri has been on the slide ever since

ANNABEL CROFT

Croft was tipped as a natural successor to grand slam champions Virginia Wade and Sue Barker after claiming the junior girls' title in 1984. She won the prestigious Virginia Slims tournament at the age of 18 and reached a career-high 21st in the world, but soon tired of the circuit and retired at the age of 21 to become a television presenter.

BUSTER MOTTRAM

Retired at 21: Croft

Boys' singles runner-up in 1972, Mottram rose to 15th in the world and reached the last 16 of Wimbledon, but saved his best performances for the Davis Cup, in which he represented Britain eight times. In retirement, Mottram became better known for his association with extreme right-wing views, and later repeatedly tried - and failed - to become a Conservative MP.

GLYNIS COLES

A beaten junior finalist in 1972, Coles, known after marriage as Coles-Bond, went on to enjoy a fruitful professional career, twice reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon, in 1973 and 1975, where she lost on each occasion to Margaret Court, winning the Swedish Open in 1973, and building a highly successful doubles partnership with Sue Barker.

STEPHEN WARBOYS

Warboys' millionaire father Jack spared no expense in his quest to turn his son into a grand slam champion. He built his own court at the family home and even employed Rod Laver as a hitting partner. But despite finishing runner-up at junior Wimbledon in 1971, Warboys had only a brief professional career, and emigrated to Canada.
