How about a thread to update & discuss the results of the German young guns? I didn't find any!


I'll start by congratulating 15 yo Anastazja Rosnowska from Hanover, who won G4 Solarwood Luxembourg Indoor Junior Open this week! She was seed 7, and beat Czech 14 yo Karolina Bernakova, 4-6 6-0 6-3 in the final. :yeah: She also notably beat the 17 yo top seed Natalie Kallmunzerova (another Czech - world #272) 4 & 0 in QF.

I also noticed last week that Jule Niemeier, who is 15 yo as well, had a great run at G4 Bavarian Junior Championships last week, reaching the SFs as a qualifier! :yeah: Sadly, she gave a WO in her SF against the top seed Hana Mraz. :[
This week she played the Luxembourg Open as well, she used a SE, but had to retire in R2 against... Berankova at 5-7 down. Hope she's fine.

^ Great idea! :yeah:

I am not surprised that you obviously have a lot of knowledge about the german juniors.

I have to admit that i don't know much about the german youngsters, but i will surely post some match reports and impressions here in case i visit some junior tournaments.

Cool, definitely hope you can visit some!

Tbh, I'm no "junior tennis scholar" really, actually I just try and check all the U18 tournaments' final rounds results (just finalist and runner-up if I feel lazy, from QFs on if I feel motivated) at the end of the week. Except for the tournaments where my bunch of faves play, I tend to follow round by round.

I can't really recall any German youngster that made me think "wow!!1", from the top of my head, right now...
I just remember that at Les Petits As there was a girl called Alexandra Vecic. I thought about Donna when I saw her name in the draw. She qualified but iirc she lost in R1.

Late update, but I'm doing some catching up on these last weeks' junior results, and I see that Anastazja Rosnowska won G4 NRW Junior Open in Mönchengladbach 3 weeks ago. She was the 4th seed there and beat Czech top seed Michaela Bayerlova (#273) 2 & 3 in the final. :yeah:

This brought her to a new CHR of 287 last week!

Nice thread

Kathi Hobgarski won the Luxembourg Junior Open (G4) !

And Eva Marie Voracek won the doubles title there (with M. Bayerlova)

[Sobachka]

I didn't mention Kathi here because she has her own thread

16 yo Emelie Luisa Schwarte made the final of G5 Amman International Tournament 2 in Jordan this week.

She was the 2nd seed there, lost to Egyptian top seed Farah Yasser Abd El Wahab, who is a year older, in the final, 7-5 4-6 3-6

 

[Sobachka]

Late update, but Eva Marie Voracek (1999) made the final of G5 ITF Luzern Junior Competition two weeks ago. :yeah:

She was the 4th seed there, and lost to French 7th seed Mylène Halemai (2001) in the final, 3 & 3.

Her best win that week was over French 5th seed Juliette Colard in QF, 4-6 6-0 6-1.

That brought her to break into the Top 400 for the first time last week, reaching a new CHR of 385 (+48).

Re: All Other Germans Cheering Thread! (for players who don´t have their own thread)

Im G5-Turnier in Colombo, Sri Lanka hat die erst 13-jährige Chantal Sauvant die an Nr.5 gesetzte Yi-Chen Pao (TPE) gleich 6-0, 6-0 vom Platz gebombt.
Bisher hat sie nicht besonders überzeugt, in der Schweiz gegen Milenkovic und Joanne Züger verloren. Aber wer weiss, sie ist ja noch seeeeehr jung!

 

[Qalahari]

Danke. Sorry, wusste nicht, dass es diesen Thread gibt.

There's another 2000-born-based-in-Spain German girl who is looking promising too!

Christina Berchtold, who is living in Palma De Mallorca, won Cat. 1 G16 Torneo Internacional De Tenis Sub 16 XIII Memorial Nacho Juncosa in Barcelona today!

She was the 2nd seed there, and took out 3 consecutive seeds in convincing fashion on her way to the title - she beat 8th seed Daniella Medvedeva (2001) 0 & 4 in QF, 3rd seed Teodora Ristic (2000) 7-5 6-3 in SF, and top seed Daria Frayman (2002) 6-0 7-6(5) in the final :yeah:

Congrats to her, that's her 2nd title - she won G16 LBS Muller Junior Cup in Germany in August (she won a superclose match against Nadine Keller from Switzerland in the final, 6-7(2) 7-5 7-5) - and 3rd final (in June she had to retire in the final of G16 Pont Des Générations against Marina Bassols Ribera) this year.
Her W/L ratio this year is 22-5.

She's never played any G18s so far though (unlike a lot of girls her age or younger), it'll be interesting to see how she does in these tournaments with older girls. She's played little - as compared to most top girls who play almost as much tournies as most pros these days - actually: 7 so far this year, 6 last year, 3 in 2013 and 1 in 2012.
She must be focusing on school and training, which is not a bad idea at her age.

 

[Sobachka]

Also, Linda Puppendahl (Dec 1999) won her 1st title this year at G4 Riad 21 in Morocco!

She was the 3rd seed there, beat (WC)Rime Benhadi 6-0 4-0 ret. in R1, (Q)Joanne Zuger 1 & 3 in R2, Sofia Sualehe 4 & 2 in QF, Sihem Bellahouel (who thrashed the top seed in R1) 4 & 4 in SF, and 2nd seed Lauryn John-Baptiste (1999, CHR 316) 3 & 2 in the final! :yeah:

This run was very welcome, as she had failed to ever reach the QFs in all the tournaments she'd played this year before...

Thanks. Interesting. Excited to see her development

I saw in Christina`s facebook profile she is fan of Lisa Wohlgemuth !

16 yo Emelie Luisa Schwarte made the final of G5 Amman International Tournament 2 in Jordan this week.

She was the 2nd seed there, lost to Egyptian top seed Farah Yasser Abd El Wahab, who is a year older, in the final, 7-5 4-6 3-6

Emelie made another final last week, but this time she won it!

At G5 7th Bahrain ITF Juniors Championships, she was the top seed, had a bye in R1, beat Aaliyah Ebrahim 3 & 0 in R2, (5)Lily Reynolds 6-0 2-1 ret. in QF, (4)Camille Verden Anderson 4-6 6-3 6-3 in SF, and (8)Themis Haliou 0 & 3 in the final :yeah:

She avenged fellow German Lara Schmid (2000) who fell to Haliou in SF, 0-6 5-7.

Congrats to her on her 1st singles title this year, and first U18 title as well! She's up to a new CHR of 408 (+74) this week

She also won the dubs with Camille Verden Anderson

Edit: This week she played G5 Fujairah Junior Championships where she was the top seed as well, but got upset by Vitalia Stamat (a girl solid U14 results) in SF, 5-7 6-4 1-6

 

[Sobachka]

Emelie is actually playing the 75K Dubai qualies now

She thrashed Kristin Yordanova in Q1 today (0 & 2), will face 4th seed Diana Buzean (WTA 406, CHR 343) in Q2 tomorrow

 

[Sobachka]

Ok, Buzean gave Emelie a WO so she's through to Q3 :lol:

 

[Sobachka]

But Emelie got thrashed by (8)Sandra Samir (WTA 530, former junior #13) in Q3 today, 1 & 0

The match was closer than it seems though.
