Henri Kontinen's rich vein of form continued when he switched from the green lawns of Wimbledon to the red clay of Austria and reached the final of the 2008 European Junior Championships 18&U. He lost a close match 6-4 6-4 to Guillaume Rufin of France which is a superb effort given the tight timescale in arriving in Austria after his Davis Cup victory the Sunday before.

MCTA Director of Tennis, David Sammel had these comments "This is exactly the way a good player goes about his business. Backing up the junior Wimbledon success with winning for his country in Davis Cup, then returning to juniors and making the European Championship final is a strong signal that Henri is mentally very strong. It would have been easy to fade in the Europeans. He used his position of strength to his advantage thus showing a pride of performance that counts for a lot in a players career."

Ilija Vucic returned from injury to put in a solid run to the 4th round having been sidelined with a groin pull for almost 6 weeks missing junior Wimbledon because of that injury. Ilija will now focus on a number of Futures events to try build on his good start in pro tennis before he and Henri end their junior careers at the US Open in September.

Stefy Boffa has made excellent progress in her game in Spain and has qualified for Vigo 25K this week joining Anna Fitzpatrick in the main draw.
