Alexander Zverev shows great mental stamina to beat Sekou Bangoura 76(6) 06 76(5) to reach the SF of a Future at 15 yrs 6 mths 26 days.

This is even more impressive after 16yr old Noah Rubin, currently ranked 12th (I think) in ITF, failed to beat Bangoura in two consecutive attempts at futures events during October.

Alex got totally destroyed by Queen Vulture Reynet in final.. those scorelines make me think at a fluke, for the age.
No doubt, and not saying that as a fan, that he is going to be a great player. But this run is too random :shrug:

Fifth semifinal of the year for Quinzi, he stands a good chance to close the year in Top 500 :yeah:

Honestly, it was sort of a fluke. Not in the sense that he couldn't repeat the result, but in the sense that it might have been different if some of his opponents were older and more experienced. He defeated a 19yr old American who was at best a very very average national junior within his country in the first round. In the second round against the 4 seed he won in a retirement but it was in the third set. Who knows if the injury affected his opponent the entire time or if it just occurred at the end? The third round was an excellent and surprising win against a quality player that shows a lot of promise and mental toughness. But the semifinal was again against a teen, this time only 17 (although Luke Bambridge has shown too be very talented as well for his age).

That being said, this was still a great performance by a kid with exceptional potential.

What bloody fluke as he had chance to become youngest Futures winner ever?? Other players from his generation (beside Jasika) can't win a Futures match and this guy made final.. before any player born in 1996., lets not forget that

And he played more than 3 and a half hours in 1/4

After reaching another futures final Gianluigi Quinzi (1996) is already ranked in the top 500 at 493. And he's made yet another final this week, which has yet to be played. He's rising through the ranks at blazing speeds.

Borna Coric (1996) also won his first Futures this week. He's only ranked in the 1400s right now but this win will pretty much cut his pro ranking in half.

Also Stefan Kozlov (1998) recently made it to his first Grade A final, losing to Quinzi for the championship.

So many youngsters with promise to look out for.
