I would like to start a thread to keep track of some upcoming juniors.
Name: Noah Rubin
Birthday: 02-21-1996 (15 years old)
Junior Ranking: 42
ATP Ranking: N/A
Description: Noah recently captured his first G1 title (Copa Del Cafe 2012, hardcourt) two weeks ago and is currently at a career high junior ranking of 42 with only 5 itf starts . His ranking will continue to rise b/c of this week's play at G1 Copa Barranquilla (clay); will play in the quarterfinal. He was a finalist at the Les Petits As a couple of years ago. Noah seems to have a solid game, but he seems kinda short though when standing next to Farren Connor at the Copa Del Cafe final (Connor is listed at 5'11"). However, Noah is two years younger so let's hope that he can add some inches.
Name: Thai-Son Kwiatkowski
Birthday: 02-13-1995 (16 years old)
Junior Ranking: 84
ATP Ranking: N/A
Description: Despite the name, he is not a Thai descendent :lol: :shrug:. He is actually 1/4 Polish and 3/4 Vietnamese (from local paper). He is close to his career high in junior ranking but the last couple of weeks had him focusing on futures qualifying (not very successful thus far). He has a nice forehand. Here is an old video of him from the local news: Link
Deiton got a Miami Q wildcard and will play Daniel Brands in the first round. It is safe to say that he won't win. Hopefully, it will be a good experience anyway. Good luck.

If my portuguese interpretation skills are sufficient, It looks like Orlando Luz ('98) just took out Kwiatkowski 7-5 7-5....I knew Luz was good but wow!
We are down to 3 ....wonder how JC got a wildcard.

So Noah will make his return at ISC G1. I hope he is not too rusty because he has a lot of points to defend here and at the Easter Bowl. On the other hand, chances for Spencer to get points since he was out this time last year due to injury. Why is Thai not here?
Notable wild cards in the boys’ 18s include Southern California stalwarts Robbie Bellamy (committed to play for USC), Joseph DiGiulio (UCLA), and Gage Brymer (UCLA). Perhaps the top SoCal wild-card prospect to watch, however, is 16-year-old Ernesto Escobedo, who currently holds an ATP ranking of No. 967 in the world.
No. 5 seed Luca Corinteli was up 6-0, 4-2 in his match with Logan Smith, but he was unable to make that final push to finish it, and after losing the second set in tiebreaker, Corinteli became increasingly frustrated at himself and at the chair umpire. When Smith held serve for a 5-4 lead in the third set, Corinteli threw his racquet and was given a point penalty, but he held in that game and in his next service game, forcing another tiebreaker. Down 4-2 at the change of ends, Corinteli found the net with three consecutive shots, a forehand and two backhands, and Smith had advanced to the second round. Corinteli did not shake the chair umpire's hand after the match, and expressed to the umpire his hope that the chair would improve his performance in his remaining assignments.

Oh how things have changed. A year ago, Spencer was trending up and now Stefan is seeded ahead of him. Tennis is so unpredictable.
