Cohen Claims Third Casablanca Crown


The first ITF Grade A, the Casablanca Cup, is played during the holidays (it's officially a 2007 tournament, even though it finished on December 31) and just weeks after the last Grade A, the Orange Bowl, assuring that the event in Mexico will be given less attention than it usually warrants.

But the ITF staff in London did this wrap-up, and there is a small slide show of photos on their site, so there is some information to be had.


There is something about the Casablance Cup that agrees with Julia Cohen. She has won three of the last four singles championships, the first when she was just 14 years old, and her success there has helped keep her in the top twenty of the ITF rankings for a long time. This year she also won the doubles title, with Valeria Pulido-Velasco, who like the boys' champion, unseeded wild card Eduardo Peralta-Tello, was from the host country.
