Macavei and Gorzny Claim ITF J1 Coffee Bowl Titles; Six Americans Advance at J1 in Traralgon; Bhat Reaches Singles Final, Wins Doubles Title at J2 in India; Keys Captures Adelaide Title

The ITF J1 Coffee Bowl concluded tonight in Costa Rica, with Americans claiming three of the four finals contested today.

Unlike most junior tournaments, the doubles are often played before the singles tournaments and so it was today, with the boys doubles final first on the schedule. Top seeds Cooper Williams and Michael Zheng defeated No. 2 seeds Nicholas Godsick and Sebastian Gorzny 6-3, 6-1 to win the first of two finals featuring Williams and Gorzny.

Gorzny got his revenge in the singles final which closed the evening, with the No. 7 seed defeating top seed Williams 6-3, 7-6(7). Gorzny, who turns 18 later this month, has won four ITF junior circuit doubles titles, but this is his first singles title at any level on the ITF junior circuit. He did reach the final of the J4 in Boca Raton last November, but it was abandoned due to rain. Gorzny has committed to TCU for this fall.

In the girls doubles final, No. 2 seeds Nikola Daubnerova of Slovakia and Luca Udvardy of Hungary defeated unseeded Gabriella Broadfoot of South Africa and Elisabeth Jones 2-6, 6-1, 11-9.

In the girls singles final, No. 8 seed Sonya Macavei took on unseeded 15-year-old Naomi Xu of Canada. Macavei, who has signed with Vanderbilt for this fall, earned her second ITF junior circuit singles title with a 7-5, 2-6, 6-0 victory. The 17-year-old left-hander, who had won just one match at a J1 before this week, also reached the semifinals in doubles with Mia Slama.

At the J1 in Traralgon, three US girls and three US boys advanced to the round of 16. Top seed Bruno Kuzuhara, No. 12 seed Ozan Colak and qualifier Alex Michelsen are the boys, with No. 4 seed Clervie Ngounoue, No. 11 seed Liv Hovde and No. 15 seed Qavia Lopez the girls advancing out of the second round. Wild card Taylah Preston, the 16-year-old Australian who won a round in the women's qualifying, defeated No. 3 seed Solana Sierra of Argentina 6-3, 6-3 in the first round. No. 4 seed Ignacio Buse of Peru lost to Jakub Nicod of the Czech Republic 5-7, 6-2, 7-6(4) in the second round.

At this week's J2 in India, 17-year-old Aayush Bhat won his fifth ITF Junior Circuit doubles title, while also advancing to the final in singles. Bhat and India's Rushil Khosla, the No. 2 seeds, defeated the unseeded team of Fadi Bidan of Lebanon and Thanaphat Boosarawongse of Thailand 6-3, 6-2 in the final. Bhat, the No. 7 seed, lost to 14-year-old qualifier Manas Dhamne of India 7-5, 6-1 in the singles final. It's the first ITF junior circuit title for Dhamne, who won the Eddie Herr 12s title in 2019.

In Australia, Madison Keys won her first title since 2019 at the WTA 250 in Adelaide, defeating Alison Riske 6-1, 6-2. At the ATP 250 in Adelaide, former Texas A&M star Arthur Rinderknech of France lost in the final to Thanasi Kokkinakis of Australia 6-7(6), 7-5(5), 6-3. Rinderknech will move into the ATP Top 50 for the first time with his results this week.
