Tomljanovic & Uriguen Take Casablanca Cup Titles; Orange Bowl Videos
Fifteen-year-old Ajla Tomljanovic of Croatia has won her first ITF Junior singles title, and it's a big one, the Grade A Casablanca Cup. The second-seeded Tomljanovic, who trains at the Evert Academy in Boca Raton, avenged her Yucatan Cup semifinal defeat to Ana Bogdan of Romania with a 3-6, 6-4, 7-6(5) win today. Bogdan was the No. 1 seed in both tournaments. Tomljanovic also won the doubles title, with Heather Watson of Great Britain, so she is likely to move into the Top Ten when the ITF rankings are released Monday.
Eddie Herr finalist Julen Uriguen of Guatemala, who had defeated Harry Fowler of the U.S. in the semifinals 6-4, 3-6, 6-3, had a much easier time of it in the Casablanca Cup final against qualifier Agustin Velotti of Argentina, taking a 6-2, 6-1 decision. Uriguen was the No. 3 seed, and he too, will see a big jump in his ranking, currently 33, with the win. Denis Kudla and Nathan Pasha of the U.S. took the doubles title on Saturday, with a 7-6,(1) 6-4 victory over Tamas Batyi of Hungary and Gaetan Lovinfosse of Belgium. For complete results, see the tournament website.
