Boys & Girls: Roland Garros French Junior Championsips, clay - Grade A (Week 23)

I note that the French gave several wildcards, and qualifying wildcards, to youngsters who are not really playing juniors any more. Jacquet is born 2001, only JWR 853, but is ATP 1248 and has come through all the qualis and now two rounds of the main draw.
The boy who beat Aidan in unranked but has an ATP WR of 900 or so. Pavolvic is only about 1000 in juniors, but is the same in adult. Roumane is another unranked junior.
It's good to see that junior rankings are not given too much importance.

As I feared all British interest in singles ends early. The draws were tough (Aidan's opponent has a similar ATP ranking) but they didn't give themselves the best chance of progress - 19 of the top 20 ranked boys played a warm-up event on European clay (junior or Pro), with Aidan being the one exception.

 

Can only think maybe GCSE/A Level exams have got in the way possibly? Otherwise there is no good reason for not playing a warm-up

Doubles exit for Aidan+ today means British interest is focused on half-Brit Joanna Garland in the quarter-finals. None of the players our quartet lost to have made the quarter-finals

R2

(WC) Anselmo/Voisin (FRA) d. (3) McHugh/Skatov (GBR/KAZ) 6-4 6-2

Congratulations to Chun Hsin Tseng (Chinese Taipei) and American Cori Gauff, for winning the titles. Still only 14 Cori was the youngest in either draw, and went one better than in the US Open last year. Her compatriot Caty McNally served for the match but Coco broke back and eventually won the third set tiebreak, finishing 1-6 6-3 7-6(1). Tseng (ATP 722) won more comfortably 7-6(5) 6-2 against world number 1 Sebastian Baez - that scoreline was his closest all week though
