England do the Double
in
Germany
England
claimed the Boys and Girls European U19 individual titles
when Anthony Graham and Sarah-Jane Perry won
their respective finals in Germering.
Perry, the top seed in the girls' event, faced compatriot
Millie Tomlinson, and apart from a spell in the second game
when she made numerous unforced errors, dominated the
majority of the match, clinching the title on her second
match-ball in the fourth game.
Graham, the recently-crowned British Junior champion who
took out the top seed in the quarter-finals, edged the first
two games against Lucas Serme, but the Frenchman's two
five-setters in reaching the final started to take their
toll in the third game, five tins in a row giving Graham a
healthy lead, and he too finished the match on his second
match ball with a dropshot into the nick. |

06-Apr, Semis:
Serme stops English domination
An English girls' champion was already guaranteed, but it
took France's Lucas Serme five games - his second
five-setter in as many days - to prevent an
all-English boys' final in the last match on day three in
Germany.
Girls' top seed Sarah-Jane Perry justified her
seeding with a 3-1 win over Julianne Courtice, while
Millie Tomlinson overcame second-seeded compatriot
Kimberley Hay in straight games to reach the final.
Anthony Graham ended home hopes as he beat Germany's
Raphael Kandra in four games, before Serme denied the
English a clean sweep with a five-game victory over Alex
Ingham. |

Semi-Finals Day in Germany
Preview from Martin Wren
The girls individual
event semi-finals will both be all England affairs, with
number one seed Sarah-Jane Perry playing 9/12 seed
Julianne Courtice in the top half of the draw, and
Millie Tomlinson, the 5/6 seed, taking on number two
seed Kimberley Hay in the bottom half.
In the quarter finals Sarah Jane beat French number 2
Melissa Alves 3-1, Julianne had a fantastic 3-1 victory over
3/4 seed Milou van der Heijden from the Netherlands –
following on from her win over 5/8 seed Natalie Pritchard
earlier in the day - Millie beat French number one Emilie
Lamilango 3-0 and Kimberly beat Welsh number two Tesni Evans
3-0.
So an English girls champion is already guaranteed, and the
indicators for next year, when the event will be held in
Vienna, are already looking good with Julianne, Millie and
Kimberly still eligible.
The
boys semi finals will be fought out by 7/8 seed Anthony
Graham, who yesterday beat top seed Henrik Mustonen from
Finland 3-1, and German number two Raphael Kandra who
yesterday surprised England number two Chris Fuller 3-1 to
the delight of the home supporters. In the lower half of the
draw England number two Alex Ingham, who yesterday
beat German number one Rudi Rohrmuller 3-1, will play
France’s Lucas Serme (brother of three-time girls
champion Camille) who yesterday beat Belgian number one San
van Brusselen, the second seed, in a marathon 5 setter.
The finals take place tomorrow, Tuesday, and then all the
players take a well earned rest day before embarking on four
arduous days of the team championships on Thursday.
The seeding for this event will be carried out later today
but it is fair to say that the outcome is far from clear
with England, Germany and France all having hopes of
ultimate victory – and of course other teams may have
different ideas!
Euro
Juniors head for Germany
The European U19 Championships are in Germany this year,
with the individual event running from 04-07 April and the
team event from 09-12 April.
England will start as favourites to retain the team
title they won in Stavanger last year, and Sarah-Jane
Perry - the only player from last year's semi-final
stages still eligible - is favourite to take the girls'
individual title.
The boys' event looks wide open with Finland's Henrik
Mustonen, a quarter-finalist last time out, seeded one.

Six out of Eight
Ain’t Bad ...
With six English players claiming places in the
semi-finals it was a fantastic day for the English squad in
Germany, and team coach David Campion is naturally
delighted.
”I
can’t remember the last time anyone had all four
semi-finalists like we have in the girls event, certainly
not in the ten years I’ve been involved, so it’s a great
achievement for the girls. Julianne had two big wins
yesterday, Millie upset the seedings too, and with three of
the girls still eligible for next year’s event it’s looking
quite good at the moment!
”Anthony Graham played really well to beat the top seed
yesterday, after winning the British Junior title last month
he’s brimming with confidence. It was a pity to see Chris
Fuller lose, even if it was great for the home crowd, but
Alex Ingham played well to beat the German number two, so
let’s see if we can get an all-English boys final too.
”All the players are enjoying it over here, we’ve got a
really good team spirit going, which augurs well for the
team event, and for the World Junior Championships coming up
later in the year."
