Junior Orange Bowl Videos, Photo Gallery; US Juniors Looking for First Win on Day Two of Australian Open Junior Championships

I've completed the processing of the videos of the finals of the Junior Orange Bowl last month in Coral Gables and they are below. There is just one video for the B14s final, because it was possible to be above and behind that particular court. There are also very brief videos from the third place match at the B12s at Salvadore Park, which can be found by going to my YouTube channel via these links for Manas Dhamne and Calvin Baierl.

The photo gallery of all 16 Junior Orange Bowl semifinalists is up at the Tennis Recruiting Network via this link.
