With the attention of the tennis world turning to Australia next month, it's a good time to look at the National Championships held this month Down Under. Although many of the top Australian players were in the United States for the Eddie Herr, Orange Bowl and Junior Orange Bowl, there is no dearth of talent for these events. The 18s champions were Stefani Webb, who is beginning her college career at Central Florida this spring, and 16-year-old Pavle Marinkov. For more on the 18s Nationals, see this Tennis Australia article.

The 16s champions are Thomas Gadecki and Gabby Gregg. For more on those championships, see this Tennis Australia article.

The Australian National 14s champions are Daniel Jovanovski and Sara Nikolic. For more on those titles, see this Tennis Australia article.

The 12s champions are Vesna Marinkov and Jenson Yokota-Ho, with more details in this Tennis Australia article.
