USO Jr. 1st round

Stefano NAPOLITANO (ITA) [10] - Stefan KOZLOV (USA) (WC)
Enzo COUACAUD (FRA) - Henrik WIERSHOLM (USA) (WC)
Michael MMOH (USA) (Q) - Gabriel FRIEDRICH (BRA)

Stefan has a tough first round. Even though Napolitano is from a claycourt country, he prefers hardcourt and it will be hard to lob over him :p. Good luck to everybody :).

Fourteen-year-old Stefan Kozlov had an extra confidence boost prior to taking on No. 10 seed Stefano Napolitano of Italy, serving as a practice partner for Roger Federer two days ago.

"It was crazy," said wild card Kozlov, who advanced to the second round when Napolitano retired trailing 6-3, 4-6, 4-2. "I think it was two days ago, I'm not sure. I got so much confidence hitting with him the first time. It was very exciting. Great guy."

Kozlov apparently impressed the Wimbledon champion, because he was asked to hit again later in the afternoon Sunday.

"I was hitting the ball well," Kozlov said. "I wasn't missing much, so I was pretty happy." Link

@bgtennisnation Stefan's already represented by Octagon & sponsored by Head and Nike. There's another 14 yo kid in the md: Michael Mmoh.
I wonder if Michael has signed with anyone yet (Nike and Prince ???).

Después de Stefan Kozlov, Michael Mmoh, otro estadounidense de 14 años, pasa una ronda en el USOpen Junior. #Hayfuturo http://pic.twitter.com/FDNMj8Iz
