2011:
Boys’ Singles Champion: Jiri Vesely
Girls’ Singles Champion: An-Sophie Mestach
Jiri Vesely is currently the youngest player in the world’s top 100 and has two Challenger singles titles to his credit. Last year saw him make major strides as he made his debut for champions Czech Republic in the Davis Cup and also entered the main draw of the 2013 French Open, the first time he had done so. Constantly improving, he is one to watch for the future.
An-Sophie Mestach won the girls’ singles crown in the same year that her compatriot, Kim Clijsters finally won the ladies singles crown, in what was perhaps a sign that Belgian tennis was here to stay for a while yet. Clijsters herself speaks highly of the youngster and backs her to be a star one day. It is still early days for the 19 year old on tour, and 2014 could be the year when she finally breaks into the top 100 and qualifies for the main draw of a Grand Slam.
