Juniors – new page

Oliver Golding (b. 29/09/1993) won this year’s US Open. Will he join the US Open ’04 junior champion Andy Murray as the second strong player from the Great Britain? It’s tough to tell because the list of junior Grand Slam champions is full of names which don’t tell a lot casual tennis fans. Here you can check them out – it’s a new page on my blog. “I’ve seen him around a couple of times and we wished each other luck,” said Golding being asked about his contacts with Murray, “Unfortunately he came up short here but I’m sure he’ll get a Grand Slam title soon.”

Golding’s road to the title:

1 Brett Clark               6-3, 6-4
2 Ben Wagland          7-5, 6-3
3 Bjorn Fratangelo   7-5, 3-6, 6-3
Q Filip Horansky       5-7, 6-4, 6-1
S George Morgan       6-0, 7-6(2)
W Jiri Vesley              5-7, 6-3, 6-4
