My Wimbledon Junior Championships Recap; USTA National Championships Wild Cards; Rolls Sweeps Titles at ITF J200 in Colombia, Lam Wins Another J100 in Dominican Republic; Quinn Drops First Round Match at Atlanta Open

My wrap-up of the Wimbledon Junior Championships was posted today at the Tennis Recruiting Network, so if you didn't have time to follow my daily coverage of the event here, this a great opportunity to get up to speed on the titles by Clervie Ngounoue of the United States and Henry Searle of Great Britain. I also talked to the doubles champions, neither of whom were seeded, with the Czech girls getting the title at age 15, and the Czech and Italian boys team winning Wimbledon in their first tournament together.

Wild cards for next month's USTA National Championships were decided over the weekend and released today. A few more may be added in the younger age divisions, but the San Diego and Kalamazoo wild cards are set.

Katie Rolls, 2022 ITF J300 Eddie Herr

Sweeps were commonplace last week for Americans on the ITF Junior Circuit.

Sixteen-year-old Kaitlyn Rolls swept the singles and doubles titles at the ITF J200 in Bogota Colombia and in the process moved into the Top 100 of the ITF junior rankings for the first time. Seeded No. 4, Rolls defeated No. 6 seed Luna Maria Cinalli of Argentina 6-1, 6-7(6), 6-4 in the singles final, after having beaten her in the doubles final the day before. Rolls and partner Nathalie Marinovitch Zegarra of Bolivia, seeded No. 7, beat No. 2 seeds Cinalli and her partner Antonia Vergara Rivera of Chile 6-1, 7-6(5). Rolls has won the J100s this year, but this is her biggest title and she is now up to 76 in the ITF junior rankings.

North Carolina recruit Matthew Forbes[5] made the boys final, losing to No. 2 seed Luis Jose Nakamine of Peru 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, but he too has made the ITF junior Top 100, coming in at 99 this week.

Fifteen-year-old Shannon Lam won her second straight singles title at a J100 in the Dominican Republic, extending her winning streak to 10. The top seed, Lam defeated the same player she had beaten in the J100 final the week before, Maayan Laron of Israel, although this one was much closer, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. Lam is now up to a career-high 144 in the ITF junior rankings.

The two teamed up for the doubles title, with the No. 2 seeds defeating No. 3 seeds Aidan Lam Meng Bart and his partner from China Tian hao Hou 1-6, 7-5, 10-5 in the final.  

Sixteen-year-old Daniela Chica won her first ITF Junior Circuit singles title in Jamaica, with the top seed beating Melissa Paniagua Gasser 6-0, 6-1 in the all-US final.
