So I figured I'd start this thread now, even though it might be a bit early still

Gianluigi Quinzi is currently the #1 U-14 Player in Europe, and top 10 U-16
Birthday: Feb 1, 1996
Residence: Porto San Giorgio, Italy
Plays: Left handed two handed backhand

Titles
Gianluigi is currently only 14 years old, and he's undefeated in U-18 ITF events, having won 4 consecutive titles.
G5 Honduras Bowl, Sep 18 Clay
G5 Copa Coqui, Sep 25 Hard
G5 Copa Mangu, Oct 2 Hard
G5 Curacao Juniors Open, Oct 9 Hard

That was 4 titles in 4 weeks, against players up to 4 years older than him, on two different surfaces.
He is based out of Italy, but currently training at the Nick Bolleteri Tennis Academy.

This week (November 7), he is playing in his first professional tennis match, in Futures Qualifying in Mexico, and next week he will be participating in the Challenger tournament down there.

Gianluigi seems the real deal. I'm hoping he only plays GA Junior Tournaments this year, and focuses on training and futures. If I were him I'd be hoping to be a Futures winner by the end of the year, or at least start playing some of the weaker challengers at the end of the year. He should be able to finish as Junior Number 2, I don't see him topping Luke Saville at this point, but he should be able to get a Junior Grandslam under his belt. Next year he should focus entirely on the Pro tour.
