Metropolia Orange Bowl International Tennis Championship GA
Stefanos is into the quarterfinals of the Junior Boys Australian Open. He's the only one of the top 4 seeds remaining in the draw (Valkusz, Kecmanovic and Auger-Aliassime all lost in the third round today). Screen captures from first round doubles (partnering Karimov), and the first three singles rounds
DOUBLES
First Round (l. Clark/Sumizawa 4-6 6-3 [6-10])
SINGLES
First Round (d. Piros 6-4 7-5)
Second Round (d. Manda 6-4 6-3)
Third Round (d. Caruana 6-4 6-4)
He plays 6th seed De Minaur on Show Court 3 at 11am (Melbourne time)
Stef lost to De Minaur (an annoying ferret) in the quarterfinals. A few cracks appeared later in the second, and collapsed mentally in the third. Maybe if the rain delay at 0-5 had come near the start of the third he might've been able to hit the reset button
Into the Final in ITF event in Italy. Plays Casper Ruud in the final. I like both players so I be happy with either result. & It should be good tough final. :yeah:

I see he's on the entry list for the Italy F12 Futures tournament next week despite the RG Boys tournament being the week after. A bit worried he could turn up exhausted in Paris if he goes deep next week
So happy he won the title, I happy he won it in straight sets because him and Ulises Blanch have had some close matches. Hopefully he can continue this form and win an Junior Slam.
The Italian Open is one of the most prestigious Grade-A events though. Outside of the four Grand Slams, the highest points on the Junior circuit are awarded to the Italian Open, Orange Bowl and Youth Olympic Games (which get Bonus Points, unlike the other Grade A tournaments) http://www.itftennis.com/juniors/rankings/ranking-points.aspx
From his instagram Best feeling in the world right now winning my first ITF Juniors Grand Slam title here in #Milano! 🏆
Best week of the year so far accomplishing something I was dreaming about for so long. I always believed I could achieve something like that, this dream came today and was successfully accomplished!
Proud and excited at the same time to be part of the Champseedfoundation and the Mouratoglou_tennis_academy helping me improve and build my game whenever I am there. Very thankful to have my father Apostolos always supporting me and being always next to me.
