The Monte-Carlo Country Club Junior Tournament: the Italians come out top
The traditional Monte-Carlo Country Club Junior Tournament came to an end on 17th July, with the presentation of cups to the winners, in the presence of Elisabeth-Ann de Massy, President of the Monegasque Tennis Federation. This year, young Italians stole the show at this individual tournament winning four matches, beating the French (3 wins), the Russians and Finnish. A commendable achievement for the 12th Monte-Carlo Country Club Junior Tournament which attracted 240 participants from Monaco, France, Italy, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Saudi Arabia to take part in the various age categories (girls 9/10, 11, 13/14 and 15/16; boys 9/10, 11, 12, 13/14 and 15/16). The next tournament, open to all registered members of the French Tennis Federation, is to take place from the 4th to 16th July 2007 in the prestigious setting of the Monte-Carlo Country Club.
