In the final of the Junior Wimbledon tournament 14-year old Laura Robson will be looking to become the first British Junior champion at Wimbledon since Annabel Croft won it in 1984. In the final Robson will be facing another surprising finalist in 3rd seed Noppawan Lertcheewakarn, who will be looking to go one better than her illustrious compatriot Tamarine Tanasugarn. The boys final will be a contest between surprising finalist Henri Kontinen and 9th seed Grigor Dimitrov. Kontinen will aim to become the first Fin to win a Junior Grandslam since Jarkko Nieminen won the US Open in 1999 and Dimitrov will aim to follow in compatriot Sesil Karatantcheva's footsteps. |

Younger generation takes over at Wimbledon |
|
Thursday, 03 July 2008 |
|
Out of the 8 players that made it through to the Wimbledon semifinals on both sides all were younger than the player they beat. The youngest player by quite a margin, Brit Laura Robson, was probably the most impressive player of them all, defeating another player that's at least 2 years older than her in straight sets. The upsets of the day came at the expense of girls 2nd seed Arantxa Rus and boys 3rd seed Cesar Ramirez. Rus lost to Belgian prodigy Tamaryn Hendler and Ramirez got ousted by 9th seed Grigor Dimitrov. |
