Boys & Girls: Allianz Kundler German Juniors, clay - Grade 1 (Week 25)

DavidC · Tennis legend

Both Jack and Aidan will be back inside the top 100 as a result of their efforts here, with Jack facing a particularly tough semi as Wardy says, against the German who double-bagelled George and is on course to complete back to back German G1 titles without dropping a set. Both remaining British pairs (Aidan/Dominic and Jack/George) lost in the doubles quarter-finals today.

There's an official stream video on youtube of Aidan's match if anybody feels there isn't enough tennis going on at the moment and needs some to watch !

Whatever happens against Molleker, these are excellent results. And while I've never seen him play, Jack Draper's early results for his age (he will be the youngest or second youngest person in the top 100) are exceptionally encouraging - particularly as I don't think, from comments others have made, that he's one where it's a case of being bigger and stronger than other players his age and hence having an advantage that he'll lose with time.

Thanks to CD's discovery of the Youtube channel i have found the live stream for Jack's match on the Steffi Graf stadium court - www.youtube.com/channel/UC4zHV94RPOjfCsr3fyyqD2g/live Jack (in orange top) has started strongly and leads 2*-1

Thanks, just watched a couple of very purposeful points from him. Interesting ...

Jack lost the first set 6-4 and 3-3 in the second.

Decent match. Never seen Jack play before. Lefty with a big serve and uses a top spin forehand a lot. Good quality match.

(2) Rudolf Molleker (GER) d. Jack Draper 6-4 6-3

Jack went an early break up in both sets, and played many well constructed points with his loopy forehand, but was often under pressure on serve, and the German eventually prevailed

Aidan is up shortly on the second court, with live scores at the link near the top, but I don't think this court is streamed

Unfortunately a one-sided scoreline in the other semi, but two British boys in a G1 clay court semi is a rare achievment

Very promising that Jack (15) broke Rudolf (JCH 13) and 14 months older early doors in both sets. A good week for both boys despite the loses.
