Boys: Nokia Junior Cup, Finland - Grade 4 (Week 42)
(Preview)
Stefan Sterland-Markovic is having a good week here so far. I notice that his most recent victim claims grass as his favourite surface, despite the lack of such courts in Russia and never having played on it in an ITF event - perhaps a tongue-in-cheek comment. Singles R1 (L32) (4) Stefan Sterland-Mar...

Boys & Girls: 8th Dubai ITF Junior Championships - Grade 4 (Week 42)

Boys & Girls: Osaka Mayor's Cup, World Super Junior Tennis Championships, Japan - Grade A (Week 42)

With the majority of our top boys playing Spanish Futures it falls to 4th ranked 1993 boy Robert Carter to maintain interest, and he is fortunate t...
