Home players taste success at Development Championships

This year’s ITF/Tennis Europe 14 & Under Development Championships have come to another successful conclusion. Players from 10 'Tier 1' developing nations participated in the various events over two weeks at the Club Megasaray, in Antalya, Turkey, which played host for another year.

This year’s big winner was Kerem Genc (TUR) who won the boys’ singles tournament week 1 and then again in week 2 coupled with the doubles trophy. Tea Kovacevic (BIH) and Ayse Bal (TUR) were the week 1 and week 2 girls’ winners.

ITF Development Officer for Europe Vitor Cabral was present all week and noted that “it always very interesting to see the exchange and comradery between teams grow as the days went by and between the players and coaches.”  This was clearly on display at the opening ceremony with teams proudly displaying their flags and mingling as well as training with players from other nations throughout the week.  

14&U Boys

As mentioned, Genc won both tournaments, mirroring last year’s Championships when another homegrown talent, Kaan Isik Kosaner , scored the double win. In the week 1 final, Genc, the second seed, beat top seeded compatriot Mehmet Toprak Erçin 6-1 6-4 in the final. In the final of the week 2 event, Genc again got the better of Erçin, taking the match 6-0 7-5, and in a further show of domination, the two Turks combined to win the doubles event as well. In week 1, the doubles title went to Marko Aleksovski & Aleksandar Grujic of North Macedonia.

14&U Girls

Bal proved to be a fast learner. While Kovacevic beat her in the week 1 semis before going on to take the title, however in week 2 the roles with reversed, with Bal getting revenge over the Bosnian in the semis before proceeding to take the title. Kovacevic won the week 1 final 6-1 1-0 (ret) over Sara Mitevska (MKD). In the week 2 final, the North Macedonian was thwarted once more, with Bal taking the decider in a 6-3 1-6 6-2 tussle. 

Bal and Kovacevic were on the podium yet again for the doubles. In Week 1 Bal teamed with Ecrin Lal Yavuz for the win, while in week 2 Kovacevic won the trophy with Zana Kunosic . 

Other events 

• As was the case last year, there was a 12&U training camp run by Cabral in week 1, followed by a tournament for the youngsters in week 2. Honours went to Andrej Temov (MKD) in the boys’ singles and Milena Zanoci (MDA) in the girls’ singles.
• Tennis Europe Development Manager Maciej Szymonski presented a session of the Junior School in the first week, covering various topics including Agents & Sponsorship and Social Media.

Upon the conclusion of the event, Cabral also noted that the 2024 tournaments and training camp were “the smoothest in terms of logistics and organization. It’s a brilliant example of cooperation and experience over the years between ITF and Tennis Europe with the Turkish Tennis Federation and the local organization. I can say that we are all one team in these events. We have seen a lot of good matches during these two weeks.”

Long established as one of Tennis Europe’s flagship development activities, the Championships were devised to provide top-level playing opportunities for the most promising talents from emerging tennis nations in Europe. This year saw participation from players representing Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Moldova, and hosts Türkiye. Former competitors over the years include the likes of Jelena Ostapenko, Simona Halep, Marcos Baghdatis and Grigor Dimitrov.

The Super Category tournament stands out as one of the most prestigious - and traditional - on the Junior Tour calendar and is highly cherished by players from all over the world.

Lorimer breaks new ground at Tim Essonne

Eric Lorimer of Great Britain and Xinran Sun of China have won this year’s TIM Essonne boys’ and girls’ singles titles, a historically important stop on the Tennis Europe Junior Tour, held at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois in France.

They join the likes of Rafa Nadal, Marketa Vondrousova, Andrey Rublev and Martina Hingis in having held aloft the coveted 14 & Under trophy.

This week’s main event kicked off with a flurry of social media activity and live streaming last weekend. As the tournament’s 39th edition got under way, the top seeds breezed through the opening rounds of the main draw until the quarters of the girls' competition, when the top two seeds, Tea Kovacevic (BIH) and Andrea Olariu (ROU) were ousted by Alisa Trentyeva and Nora Oliva Adamson (EST) respectively.

Top boys’ seed Alexander Kunitsyn fared slightly better, falling in the semis to eventual champion Lorimer in a thrilling three-setter. A bigger upset occurred when second seed Evgenii Kafelnikov lost in round three to fourteenth seed Evan Galea of Malta. The top two seeds later earned some consolation though, pairing to reach the podium of the doubles event.

In the end, Lorimer was too strong for Alex Tuomolin , taking the final with a 6-4 7-5 victory. It was Lorimer’s first Junior Tour singles title and second title of the year, adding to his doubles victory in Bolton in January. There was another Brit in the girls’ final, Daniella Britton , but today she came up against a fierce competitor from China. Not having dropped a set all tournament, Sun was flawless in the final and waltzed away with the title 6-1 6-1.

It was the second trophy of the tournament for Sun, who also won the doubles title. The singles win was her ninth Junior Tour title overall, across three age categories. These wins come six years after the last Chinese player won the girls’ singles title here: 2024 Australian Open finalist Qinwen Zheng. Expect Lorimer to jump from #6 in the Race to Monte Carlo update on Tuesday, while Britton will also make a significant leap.

WINTER CUPS: BACK WITH A VENGEANCE

Europe’s biggest indoor team tennis event has come back strong this year, with all three age groups now in action. With Over 500 players, representing 183 national teams played at 15 venues, it was the 12&U players who kicked off the fortnight of Final Rounds. (The 14&U and 16&U finals get under way next weekend.)

All in all, it was a successful return to competition at the 12&U Winter Cups by Dunlop. The boys’ final rounds had previously been held at various venues in Czechia, while the girls’ final rounds were first held in Sheffield and, since 2015, in Sunderland, near Newcastle.

At the opening ceremony the Mayor of Sunderland, Dorothy Truman, helped kick off proceedings welcoming the 16 teams. “Some of the biggest names in the world including Andy Murray, Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, Martina Hingis and Emma Raducanu all competed in Tennis Europe events as juniors.” She went on to apologise for the constant rain, but nevertheless said she was “honoured and proud to welcome you all on behalf of our city, our region and our country and great - indoor - facilities at the Silksworth Community Pool, Tennis & Wellness Centre.”

The venue expanded from its original four to eight indoor courts, thus easily being able to accommodate a joint boys’ and girls’ final rounds. In addition, players and coaches attended a session of the Tennis Europe Junior School at the end of Day 1, where Tennis Europe staff gave the 12&U players a talk followed by a quiz about the Tennis Family and Social Media.

Thank you to the LTA and to the host venue for putting on a successful return to the event, as well as to all the staff and volunteers involved. Finally, congratulations to all 16 teams for making the final rounds:

The Tennis Europe Junior Tour Design Tool has been built to help you create on-brand marketing and communications for your tournament. It is very easy to use, but if you have any problems, just follow these hints and tips: Using the Tennis Europe Junior Tour Design Tool you can create digital and/or printed media assets to promote your Tennis Europe Junior Tour or Tennis Europe flagship event. The resources available include posters, brochure/magazine content, e-mail footers, flyers and social media content (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram headers and posts). There are many design options to choose from when you are creating your piece of communication. Click on the different templates and notice how the backgrounds change. Pick the one that you prefer. Adjust the positions/size of the text, just fill in the text boxes with the information requested and the rest is automatic.

TOURNAMENT NAME

Write ONLY the name of the city or town where your tournament is held (e.g. Paris or Larnaca, NOT France or Cyprus) in the first field. This will appear under the Tennis Europe Junior Tour or Tennis Europe flagship logo on all assets, highlighting the international aspect of the 480+ events of the Tour.
