Henri Kontinen lost the final of Wimbledon Juniors 7-5 6-3 to Grigor Dimitrov when he failed to serve and return as well as he had been all tournament. However the experience of playing on No 1 Court at Wimbledon will stand him good stead for the future and the confidence and knowledge he has gained about himself and his abilities in making that final also will help him make the transition from a top Junior into a Tour player. MCTA our proud of his achievements and we look forward to not only the US Open Juniors but also increased activity in the Senior game. Henri stands at a career high ranking of 6.
This week Anna Fitzpatrick and Stefy Boffa are playing a Challenger in Spain. Wes Moodie and Henri are taking a well-earned break with Wes having to have treatment on his problematic knee. Ilija Vucic is beginning practice as he also recovers having had to miss Junior Wimbledon with a groin injury. |
