Henri Kontinen, fresh from triple doubles success in Astrid Bowl, the French Open and the lead-up tournament in Roehampton, is looking to add another doubles Grand Slam title to his growing reputation as the No 1 Junior doubles player in the world.
Added to this, he also made the semi-finals of Roehampton singles, the main lead-up tournament to Junior Wimbledon and today plays his third round of Junior Wimbledon. If he wins today he announces himself as a contender for the singles title as well as the doubles.
Henri’s rise in the Junior rankings over the last 18 months is nothing less than spectacular and the goal of a World Junior Top 10 finish is now well within his grasp.
MCTA is proud of both Henri and his achievements and looks forward to his continued success. MCTA would like to thank the ITF and the coaches of the ITF European Team who have been working with Henri in the lead up to the French and Wimbledon and it’s a tribute to their work that Henri has continued to improve whilst under their guardianship during this period After Wimbledon Henri is again expected to play Davis Cup for Finland which is a tremendous achievement for such a young man. |
