Our grantees continue to go from strength to strength on the junior circuit with Hollie Smart picking up her first ever ITF Junior singles title in Rhodes. Hollie had a convincing 6-0, 6-2 win over Paula Sviglerova in the final after winning through two rounds of qualifying to earn her spot in the main draw. Hollie is now on a 7 match winning streak and it’s worth mentioning, she is still only 14 year old!
Murray Watters made the final of the Tennis Europe U14 Cat 3 in Ponteverde, Spain. Murray battled hard from a set down in the semi-finals to turn the match around and win 6-7 (2), 6-1, 6-3, before losing a close final 6-4, 7-5 against Spain’s Martin Rodriguez Pellicena. He teamed up with Sergi Ramis Coll to win the doubles event in a thrilling third set championship tiebreak 4-6, 6-4, 10-7.
Mark Ceban reached the final of the J30 in Horgen, Switzerland, narrowly losing out in the final 6-4, 7-5 against Yanis Peterhans.
Great to see our grantees stepping up their game and taking on high quality opponents in Europe. Keep it up!
